Also, the research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. The method of collecting information in theoretical foundations is the library method and in the section of testing hypotheses, the method of document mining of financial statements.Excel software was used in the process of data preparation, modification, and processing, and Eviews software, version 11, was used to calculate descriptive and inferential statistics. The research hypotheses were tested using regression analysis and a mixed data approach. The results of the study indicate that the efficiency and sustainability of active investment funds in the Iranian capital market are positively and significantly related to investor attraction and its position.
