Specific methods of measuring for three of the five monitored funds correspond to the actual development of profitability and risk. In these companies justified usability of used indicators appears. In the two remaining funds the analyzed identifiers show extreme values and it can be assumed that these extreme results are due to the insufficient dependence of identifier expressed by correlation coefficient on market developments.
