Abstract Using daily mutual fund returns to estimate market timing, some econometric issues, including heteroscedasticity, correlated errors, and heavy tails, make the traditional least-squares estimate in Treynor–Mazuy and Henriksson–Merton models biased and severely distort the t-test size. Using ARMA-GARCH models, weighted least-squares estimate to ensure a normal limit, and random weighted bootstrap method to quantify uncertainty, we find more funds with positive timing ability than the Newey–West t-test. Empirical evidence indicates that funds with perverse timing ability have high fund turnovers and funds tradeoff between timing and stock picking skills.
