Book excerpt: Die Messung des Anlageerfolgs von Fondmanagern ist ein sowohl f r Praktiker als auch f r Forscher herausforderndes Thema. Das Ziel beider Gruppen ist nachhaltig erfolgreiche Manager, gute Performer, zu identifizieren. Die meisten Performancema e beruhen auf der Annahme des konstanten Risikos ber die Messungsperiode. Das Risiko wird wiederum als das Beta aus dem Capital Asset Pricing Model erfasst. Als Erweiterung solcher Modelle werden zus tzliche Faktoren, ma geschnittene Benchmarks oder Nichtliniearit ten zwischen Risiken und Renditen erfasst usw. Die Dynamik der Wirtschaft und Kapitalm rkten ist f r die Zwecke der Performancemessung von Ferson und Schaft in ein Modell eingef hrt. Das Beta aus diesem Modell ist auf die Marktbedingungen bedingt und Fondsrenditen werden somit gegen eine dynamische Benchmark gemessen. Diese Studie berichtet aus einem solchen Modell ergebene Performancema e (sog. "Conditional Alphas") f r 1192 deutsche Aktien- und Rentenmanager. Diese werden auch mit CAPM-basierten Alphas auf Persistenz verglichen. Zus tzlich wird die F higkeit des Managers richtig auf die ver ndernden Marktbedingungen zu reagieren aus der Dynamik des Beta extrahiert. Die Marktentwicklung wird durch vier anerkannte Indikatoren abgebildet (kurzfristiger Zins, Dividendenrendite, Laufzeitspread und Bonit tsspread). Die Ergebnisse bef rworten die Nutzung von Modellen mit bedingtem Beta anstelle vom CAPM. Die Existenz einer dynamischen Investmentstrategie wurde anhand der Indikatoren bewiesen. Zum Schluss werden anhand der Erfahrungen aus dieser Studie konkrete Empfehlungen f r die Erforschung von Performance anhand hnlicher Modelle gegeben.
Book Synopsis The performance Analysis of German Mutual Funds investing in Small-Cap Companies by : Maximilian Wegener
Download or read book The performance Analysis of German Mutual Funds investing in Small-Cap Companies written by Maximilian Wegener and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 7.5, Maastricht University, language: English, abstract: The following study examines the performance of mutual funds investing in small cap companies in the period from 1990 until 2013. Therefore, funds investing in small companies in Germany are tested on their ability to deliver risk-adjusted abnormal returns. The returns are risk-adjusted according to Fama French (1996) three-factor model, Carhart four-factor model and the liquidity adjusted five-factor model of Pastor and Stambaugh (2003). A separate examination of the internet crisis 2000 until 2003 and the financial crisis period 2008 until 2013 is done, to assess the ability of fund managers in isolation to examine their results in situations when their skills are most needed. On average, I conclude that fund managers, investing in the small capitalization segment in Germany, are not able to outperform the market even before fees.
Book Synopsis Industrial Dynamics and the Evolution of Markets in the Mutual Fund Industry by : Andreas Mattig
Download or read book Industrial Dynamics and the Evolution of Markets in the Mutual Fund Industry written by Andreas Mattig and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The asset management, and more specifically the mutual fund industry, is facing major strategic challenges. Although the market is growing overall, its growth attracts a steady stream of new entrants and new products that jeopardize the position and profitability of (large) incumbent firms. In order to cope with this setting, Andreas Mattig focuses on a holistic market model to sketch the mutual fund industry structure. This allows to propose a new measurement approach and to track the industrial dynamics. Based on these theoretical contributions, he concentrates on governance aspects and moulds the results into a practice-oriented strategic framework.
Book Synopsis Empirical Analysis of Mutual Funds investing in German Equity (1995-2015) by : Carsten Fritz
Download or read book Empirical Analysis of Mutual Funds investing in German Equity (1995-2015) written by Carsten Fritz and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 1,3, University of Regensburg (Centre of Finance), language: English, abstract: Financial markets are as complex as ever due to an accelerating development in the last decades. Especially evaluations of mutual fund performance have been a subject of interest since the introduction of financial services. In this thesis, a study on the performance of mutual funds investing in German equity from July 1995 to June 2015 is conducted. The aim is to find out if fund managers have sufficient skill to generate risk adjusted return in order to cover the cost imposed on the investors. Another purpose is to provide investors with relevant results. Inter alia, Jensen one-factor, Fama and French three-factor and the Carhart four-factor model are used as different benchmark models for performance. Paired bootstrap simulations suggest that, net of cost, a small fraction of fund managers do have sufficient skill to cover cost. For the bottom ranked funds, there is statistical evidence that their poor performance is caused by bad management, rather than by bad luck. The results for gross returns show that there is an unneglectable fraction of fund managers with good performance not due to luck. Compared to net returns, there is stronger evidence of skill, negative as well as positive. Form an investor’s point of view it seems rather beneficial to invest in passively managed vehicles. High costs eat into the return, and they are the main reason why the majority of actively managed funds end up with sub-par performance.
Book Synopsis Positive Impact Investing by : Karen Wendt
Download or read book Positive Impact Investing written by Karen Wendt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illustrates the impact that a focus on environmental and social issues has on both de-risking assets and fostering innovation. Including impact as a new cornerstone of the investment triangle requires investors and clients to align interests and values and understand needs. This alignment process functions as a catalyst for transforming organizational culture within an organization and therefore initiates the external impact of the organization, but also its internal transformation, which in turn escalates the creation of impact. Describing how culture is the social glue permeating all disciplines of an organization, the book demonstrates how organizational alignment can be achieved in order to allow strategic speed, innovation and learning, and provides examples of how impact can be achieved and staff mobilized It particularly focuses on impact investing, impact entrepreneurship, innovation, de-risking asset, green investment solutions and investor movements to counteract climate change and implementing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, highlighting culture, communication, and strategy.

Download or read book The Dynamics of Innovation written by Klaus Brockhoff and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jorg Bensinger, a group head of Audi corporation's R&D depart ment, had been waiting for long to find a chance to advertise his idea of a four-wheel drive for passenger cars to one of the board mem bers. Favorable experiences had been collected in drive tests with the lItis, a jeep-like car developed for use in the German army. The ex periences showed extremely good performance on icy roads and in snow. Bensinger's chance came in February of 1977, when he could talk to Ferdinand Piech, then R&D vice president of Audi and a technology buff. At this time Audi wasn't quite considered as a tech nological leader in the public. Technology based innovations were expected from Mercedes or Porsche by many customers. Piech, Ben singer, and others sensed that introducing the four-wheel drive to passenger cars could initiate a strategic change. Under great secrecy development work and prototype construction were commissioned. One obstacle seemed to be space requirements for the gear-box. Hans Nedvidek, former race-track engineer in the Mercedes team, was assigned to the team, and he developed an ingenious solution to the problem. It took until September of 1977 until other board mem bers were informed, and after some rallying the board found a con sensus in the next month to authorize further development steps for a four-wheel drive car. However, Audi is a subsidiary of Volkswagen Corp. The accord of the much bigger mother had to be secured.

This insightful book helps in determining how best to gain exposure to the rapidly changing energy trading sector." —Raj Mahajan, President & Co-Founder, SunGard Kiodex "The entry of opportunistic hedge funds into the energy sector is creating a sea of change for the industry. Fueled by pension funds and institutional investors, hedge funds are attracted to the petroleum industry because the current price volatility provides generous returns for their investors. However, these investments are not without risk. Gary Vasey and Peter Fusaro explain the ins and outs of it all in their insightful narrative." —Don Stowers, Editor, Oil & Gas Financial Journal "Peter Fusaro and Gary Vasey write about energy and environmental hedge fund markets with greater style, aplomb, and insight that any other observers of financial high streets worldwide....

Book Synopsis Exploring Meso-Level Dynamic Capabilities to Address the Capability Rigidity Paradox by : Florian Andresen
Download or read book Exploring Meso-Level Dynamic Capabilities to Address the Capability Rigidity Paradox written by Florian Andresen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-16 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Florian Andresen aims to unpack the “capability rigidity paradox” within the dynamic capability view. Consequently, he tackles one of the core challenges in strategic management of the past decades. Providing a novel and thorough literature review on dynamic capabilities from the point of this paradox, the author discusses the current state of the literature to derive the core shortcomings meticulously. A case study of capability evolution in the German Armed Forces is interpreted against the backdrop of a strategy as process and practice lens, thus, allowing to propose the concept of meso‐level dynamic capabilities without falling prey to the capability rigidity paradox.
