In analyzing mutual funds’ performance, the funds’ return is typically deemed as a performance measure and this measure is not necessarily discriminated by the virtually investors’ realized return. This is despite the fact that depending on the investors’ timing strategy and the amount they decide to invest, the actually realized return may likely be different with the announced return by the fund, which is normally based on the buy and hold strategy. In the present study, we are going to answer how investors’ timing decisions in mutual funds may affect their returns and eventually their behavior. To do so, we have exploited the registered mutual funds’ cash flow turn over over 1390 to 1395 (2011-2016) and finally come up with conclusion that inefficient market timing by mutual funds investors’ have culminated in diminishing 2.2 % their monthly return (30 % annually). This considerable negative effect can significantly alleviate the investors realized return even in outperforming mutual funds

The pre-emptive right due to the increase of capital is a transferable financial entitlement that expires after a certain period of time and recognized as an unused pre-emptive. Iranian and American Legislators and lawyers are silent about the nature of the unused pre-emptive rights, but with the comparative study of this rights in two countries,in American law, unused right is independent of the shareholders pre-emptive rights, so that with the abolition of the shareholders' preemptive right, capital raising as the source of this right remains intact And this is the root of the unexercised right which belongs to the company as a whole not to the shareholders, while in Iran with the expiry of a certain period of time pre-emptive rights due to its customary value continues to its existence as an unexercised pre-emptive rights, so that shareholders capacity to exercise pre-emptive rights subjected to certain time and with expires of that time and capacity to have the rights remains intact and capacity to exercise the rights transfer to the company on the behalf of shareholders.

Today in capital markets, access to precise and up-to-date information is one of the main obsessions of investors and creating information asymmetry between issuers and investors ensures efficiency and trust to these markets and relieve the mentioned obsession; Credit rating agencies, as one type of financial institutions, play an influential role as well with financially serving the investors with information. To that end, these agencies embark upon the task of assessing the default risk of issuers in fulfilling their financial obligations that to best meet those obligations, they are required to conform to a set of principles. The IOSCO Organization as an international authority composed of capital markets’ supervisory bodies, has provided them with a Code of Conduct representing the earlier mentioned principles. In this paper, it’s been tried to analyze the compliance proportion of the Regulation on Establishment and Operation of Credit Rating Agencies (Passed in 2015 by the Board of Directors of the Securities and Exchange Organization) with the IOSCO’s Code of Conduct as well as examining the legal nature of Credit Rating Agencies in Iran that it altogether this paper concluded that the main issues, which were regarded important from the viewpoint of the IOSCO’s Code of Conduct, have been incorporated and implemented in the mentioned Iranian Regulation.

In public corporations, important rules are important because of the relative complexity of the relationship between executives. According to the agency theory, the goal of the company is to maximize shareholder wealth. This goal is limited, and the supporters of the stakeholder theory believe that such a narrow goal with the responsibilities of modern companies, which requires attention to its impact on working conditions, relationships with customers and the environment, is not the same. the issue that is emphasized more than other issues in the corporate law is to protect the rights of investors, especially minority investors against major executives and shareholders. Major shareholders and corporate executives can exploit their authority in a variety of ways, due to their dominance in investing resources, if weak support is provided to minority investors.

The government debt management policy is mainly based on capital market instruments. Under This ‎mechanism, frozen and unproductive resources used for countercyclical fiscal policies. Nevertheless, the ‎policy in Iran is mainly based on funds of the banking system and Nondepository Institutions, and capital ‎market is passively influenced by it. This could lead to inefficiencies in government debt management ‎policies as well as the volatility of the capital market. so, this study investigated direct and indirect effects ‎of various Iranian government debt on stock market by using SVAR during 2005:q2-2016:q2.‎
