Secondly, the performance of Islamic pension mutual funds which are formed in accordance with Shariah Law and traditional pension mutual funds, has been compared. For this purpose, weekly data of funds has been analyzed by Sharpe and M2 based on standard deviation, and Treynor, T2, Jensen based on systemic risk. According to the results, both fund group generally performed very well and fund managers of them succeeded in market timing strategies.
