Today, choosing the suitable model for determining the portfolio of investment in financial assets is one of the critical issues of the attention of analysts and capital market activists, and investing in a portfolio consisting of mutual investment funds is the same. With this statement, the purpose of the article is to evaluate and compare the net assets value (return) of the Federation of Asian and European Stock Exchanges (FEAS) member countries by using support machine models in comparison with statistical models. The statistical and sample population included the data of 39 selected traded funds and FEAS members from 12 selected countries (including Iran) between 2014 and 2021. The data related to the mentioned funds were classified and analyzed using spss-modeler, rapid miner, and Weka software. They were tested with 24 support machine methods and 11 statistical methods, and the results showed that the prediction accuracy of statistical models is lower than that of support machine models. The Mann-Whitney test was used to determine the significance of this difference. Also, the results show that at the 95% confidence level, it can be claimed that the prediction accuracy of machine learning models is higher than statistical models. The average rating of machine learning models was (20.86) much higher than statistical models (10.85).
