Abstract

Objective/main question: In this study, the effects of financial stress events on the returns of investment funds in the shares of the Islamic capital market of Iran during the period of 1390-1400 were investigated using monthly data and the econometric model.
Research method: For this purpose, after calculating the financial stress in the studied financial markets (currency, capital and money market), these indicators were combined using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) Method and the Total Financial Stress Index ( FSI) was Calculated for Iran's Economy. Subsequently, Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) Method was used to investigate the effect of financial stress on mutual investment fund returns in the Islamic capital market.
Discussion and conclusion: The research results show that in the estimated model, with an increase of one unit in the financial stress index, the yield of investment funds decreases by 0.02 units.
