Needs["Statistics`DescriptiveStatistics`"];

mat[i_] := 
    Partition[ToExpression[# <> ToString[i]]& /@ {"a", "b", "c", "d"}, 2];

Combine the matrices into a three dimensional array

data = Table[mat[i], {i, 5}];

positionStat[func_, data_List] := 
    Partition[func /@ Transpose[Flatten /@ data], 2];

positionStat[Mean, data]

{{(1/5)*(a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 + a5), 
   (1/5)*(b1 + b2 + b3 + b4 + b5)}, 
  {(1/5)*(c1 + c2 + c3 + c4 + c5), 
   (1/5)*(d1 + d2 + d3 + d4 + d5)}}

Similarly,

positionStat[HarmonicMean, data]
positionStat[GeometricMean, data]
positionStat[LocationReport, data][[2, 1]]
positionStat[DispersionReport, data][[1, 2]]
