Q

Types of Performance Attribution (List and Explain)

A
  1. Returns Based: Easy. Uses Portfolio’s Total Return (over a period) + Identifies its sources.
  2. Holdings Based: Beggining of Period Holdings. All transactions assumed to occur at end of day. Accuracy improves when data has shorter intervals.
  3. Transactions Based: Holdings + Transactions -> Accurate trade results

Q

(a) Equity Attribution Measurement Approaches

A
  1. Brinson Hood Beebower (BHB):
  2. Brinson-Fachler (BF):
  • Diferença: Alocação
  • BF considers (ΔPw-Bw)*(rb-Rb)
  • Exemplo: no BF, se eu over-aloquei em algo que performou mal, mas MENOS MAL que o benchmark, meu “valor adicionado” será positivo.

Q

(c) Fixed Income Attribution Approaches (List)

A
  1. Exposure Decomposition: Top down. Compare various items against benchmark (duration, yield curve, sectors, active decisions).
  2. Yield Curve Decomposition: Duration based. Estimate impacts of ΔYield in Portfolio v. ΔYields impact in Benchmark

a. Calculate Total Return = % Income + % Price Change
Price Change = -ModDur*ΔYield
b. Difference = Effect of Active PM decisions
c. Yield Curve Decomposition

  1. Yield Curve Decomposition: Full Repricing

ABSOLUTE: Total Risk + Specific Risk (não idiossincrático)

23
Q

Macro Attribution: Sponsor Level (List)

A

Decision 1: Deviations from the SAA

Decision 2: Selection of investment managers

24
Q

Tracking Risk (Concept)

A

Risco em relação ao benchmark. Relativo.

25
Q

Specific Risk (Concept)

A

Risco idiossincrático do portfolio (único)

26
Q

Active Specific Risk (Concept)

A

Subset do specific risk relativo a risco ativo de decisões do benchmark

27
Q

Benchmarks (Concept)

A

Collection of securities that represents assets available to the PM.

28
Q

Market Index Benchmark (Concept)

A

Benchmark that represents the performance of a specific security market, market segment or an asset class.

29
Q

Liability Based Index Benchmark (Concept)

A

Benchmark focused in the cashflows that an asset must generate

30
Q

Valid Benchmark Properties (List)

A
  • Unambiguous (Securities/Weights Clearly Identified)
  • Investable (Replicable)
  • Measurable (On frequent / timely basis)
  • Appropriate (Consistent with PM’s Style)
  • Reflective of Current Investment Opinions
  • Specified in Advance
  • Accountable (Manager should accept it)
31
Q

Asset Based Benchmark Types (List)

A
  • Absolute Benchmark Return
  • Broad Market Indexes
  • Style Indexes
  • Factor Based Model Benchmarks
  • Returns Based (Regressão)
  • Manager Universe (Peer)
  • Customs Security Based
32
Q

Absolute Benchmark Return (Concept)

A

Ex: 5% de retorno anual

Cons:
- Not investable

33
Q

Broad Market Indexes (Concept)

A

Ex: S&P 500

Pros: Easy recognition, understandable, widely available

Cons: Inappropriate if PM deviates

34
Q

Style Indexes (Concept)

A

Ex: Value S&P 500

Pros: Often well known, easy to understand, widely available

35
Q

Factor Based Model Benchmarks (Concept)

A
  • Ambiguous
  • Not specified in advance
  • May not be investable
36
Q

Benchmark Quality (Formula)

A

(i) P = B + A
(ii) P = M + (B-M) + A
(iii) P = M + S + A

P = Portfolio
B = Benchmark
A = Active Decisions = (P-B)
B = Market + Style (B-M)
S = Style = (B-M)

37
Q

Challenges: Benchmark Alternative Investments (List)

A
  • Lack of investable market indexes
  • Usage of Leverage
  • Limited Liquidity
  • Lack of readily available market values
38
Q

  • Rf + Spread is sometimes used
  • Fund Manager Universe may be used

Cons:
- Risk and return of benchmark not representative
- Survivorship and backfill bias
- HF performance is self reported

39
Q

Real Estate Benchmark (List)

42
Q

Distressed Securities (List)

A
  • Illiquid

43
Q

True Active Return (Formula)

A

True Active Return = P - Normal Portfolio

P = Portfolio Manager Return

44
Q

Misfit Active Return (Formula)

A

Misfit Active Return = (P - Investor Benchmark)

Investor Benchmark = Named in SAA

45
Q

Appraisal Measures (List)

A
  1. Sharpe
  2. Sortino
  3. Treynor
46
Q

Sharpe Ratio (Formula)

A

Sharpe = (Rp - Rf)/σ portfolio

47
Q

Treynor Ratio (Formula)

A

Treynor = (Rp - Rf)/β

Uses systematic risk. For well diversified portfolios.

48
Q

Information Ratio (Formula)

A

IR = (Rp - Rbenchmark) / σativo

IR = Ractive / σativo

49
Q

Appraisal Ratio (Formula)

A

AR = α / σe

α = alpha = b0 da regressão = intercepto

σe = desvio-padrão do resíduo

50
Q

Sortino Ratio (Formula)

A

Sortino = Rp-Rt / σd

Rt = Target Return
σd = Semi Deviation = Std Deviation of Downside Risk

51
Q

Sortino Ratio Usage (List)

A
  • Better for Hedge Funds and Commodity Trading
  • Usage of Semi Deviation (only downside risk)
52
Q

Capture Ratios (Concept & Formula)

A

Capture Ratio = UC / DC
If > 1 é positive / convex
If < 1 é negative / concave

UC = Rportfolio / R bench
DC = Rportfolio / R bench

sendo,
UC = Upside Capture if Rbench > 0
DC = Downside Capture if Rbench < 0

Mede assimetria da captura do upside em relação ao downside
