Summary/Abstract: Purpose – the article focuses on whether the effects of asset management by mutual funds in the short-term perspective are related to assets’ size. Design/methodology/approach – the study concerned domestic equity funds functioning in Poland in the period 2000–2015. The verification of the hypothesis was based on three groups of research tools. Findings – there was observed that there are no disproportions in performance achieved by big or small entities. The analysis of classification criteria independence showed the lack of significant relation between the examined funds’ factors in yearly periods. The regression models used, in turn, did not confirm the influence of fund assets’ level on the effects of asset management. Originality/value – the investigated issue proved to require further analysis by means of more advanced research approaches for time-series cross-section (TSCS) data.
