The present study, employing a survivorship-bias free dataset, assesses the performance of Greek domestic equity funds during the period June 2001�December 2009 controlling for the thin trading risk that is inherent in the Greek stock market. Augmenting Carhart's multi-benchmark model (1997) with a stock-level liquidity factor, we document the absence of skills among domestic equity fund managers. However, at a fund level, we detect the evidence of a statistically and economically significant outperformance. Additionally, we examine the relationship between fund performance and a series of cost and operational attributes employing a robust quantile regression method. Cross-sectional results demonstrate a significant inverse relationship between fund performance and expenses. Moreover, our findings show that the larger the fund, the lower the performance.
