At the same time, the persistence of a good profitability depends on the degree of the managers' professionalism and also of a good relationship between the responsible manager and the investor, and a great contract betw een both. It was observed, through a regression using panel data, that the volume doesn't have negative influence in the return of the funds, on the contrary, as larger is the fund, better is the profitabil ity of the same. It was also observed that the funds that pay performance incentive to their managers have a better acting than the others. It was identified also that the equity mutual funds that use high water marks as a remuneration incentive to the managers, has profitability than the funds that pay performance, but they don't use the high water marks in the own regulation. It was found that there is a straight relationship between incentive and performance.
