Q

micro performance attribution

A

pure sector allocation = (Wp-Wb)*(Rb - R)

+

allocation/selection interaction = (Wp-Wb)*(Rp-Rb)

+

withing sector selection = Wb*(Rr-Rb)

Q

M2 measure (modigliani and modigliani) =

A

Rfr + Sharpe x StandDev Market

17
Q

information ratio =

A

Active return / active risk = (Ra - Rb) / StandDev (A-B)

18
Q

treynor vs sortino

A

treynor is sharpe with beta

sortino is sharpe with downside deviation and MARet

19
Q

type 1 error

A

keeping bad managers

20
Q

type 2 error

A

firing good manager

21
Q

original dietz method for TWRR

A

=( (MV1-MV0) - CF ) / (MV0 + 0.5CF)

22
Q

Modified dietz method for TWRR

A

=( (MV1-MV0) - CF ) / (MV0 + Timeweighted CF)

23
Q

benchmark coverage ratio

A

how closely portfolio covers the securities from the benchmark

24
Q

A quality control chart combines the

A

average value added and its standard deviation to generate a confidence interval that can be used to determine statistical significance.

25
global return components
benchmark domestic return = Wb*Rbd + market allocation contribution = (Wp-Wb)*Rbl + currency allocation contribution = (Wp*Cp-Wb*Cb), Where C is currency change impact + security selection contribution = Wp*(Rpl-Rbl) + yield component = Wp*IL
26
2 period active return =
= Ra1(1+Rb2) + Ra2(1+Rp1)
27
security allocation effect (global investing) =
= Wp * ( Rp-Rb)
28
tracking error or relative risk =
SqRoot ( sum (surplus return - average surplus return) / (n-1) )
29
what performance ratios use total risk ?
sharpe and M2
30
what performance ratios use systematic risk?
treynor and expost alpha (using beta in formulas)
31
if fund is well diversified, what performance adjusted ratios to use to evaluate a new investment ?
those using systematic risk (beta)
32
when question is about strength or weaknesses of a manager, pay MASSIVE attention to
"relative to" what are strengths measured (index, etc)
33
why decomposing risks is complicated?
risks in global portfolio are correlated
34
3 potential biases in performance analysis
survivorship assumption of normal distribution of returns infrequent pricing
