Download or read book Strategic and Tactical Asset Allocation written by Henrik Lumholdt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-21 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers each step in the asset allocation process, addressing as many of the relevant questions as possible along the way. How can we formulate expectations about long-term returns? How relevant are valuations? What are the challenges to optimizing the portfolio? Can factor investing add value and, if so, how can it be implemented? Which are the key performance drivers for each asset class, and what determines how they are correlated? How can we apply insights about the business cycle to tactical asset allocation? The book is aimed at finance professionals and others looking for a coherent framework for decision-making in asset allocation, both at the strategic and tactical level. It stresses analysis rather than pre-conceived ideas about investments, and it draws on both empirical research and practical experience to give the reader as strong a background as possible.

Download or read book Investment Performance Measurement written by Bruce J. Feibel and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-02-04 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many investment books include a chapter or two on investment performance measurement or focus on a single aspect, but only one book addresses the breadth of the field. Investment Performance Measurement is a comprehensive guide that covers the subjects of performance and risk calculation, attribution, presentation, and interpretation. This information-packed book covers a wide range of related topics, including calculation of the returns earned by portfolios; measurement of the risks taken to earn these returns; measurement of the risk and return efficiency of the portfolio and other indicators of manager skill; and much more. By reviewing both the concepts of performance measurement and examples of how they are used, readers will gain the insight necessary to understand and evaluate the management of investment funds. Investment Performance Measurement makes extensive use of fully worked examples that supplement formulas and is a perfect companion to professional courses and seminars for analysts. Bruce J. Feibel, CFA, is Product Manager at Eagle Investment Systems, an investment management software provider located in Newton, Massachusetts. He is responsible for overseeing the development of Eagle's investment performance measurement, attribution, and AIMR/GIPS compliance software. Prior to joining Eagle, Mr. Feibel was a principal at State Street Global Advisors. He earned his BS in accounting from the University of Florida.

This book was released on 2019-12-23 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of performance attribution is to explain portfolio performance relative to a benchmark, identify the sources of excess return, and relate those sources to active decisions by the portfolio manager. This review charts the development of attribution from its beginning with Fama decomposition in the 1970s, through its foundations in the 1980s, into its issues of multiperiod and multicurrency attribution in the 1990s, and ending on its more detailed models for fixed-income and risk-adjusted attribution in recent years. Types of attribution (including returns based, holdings based, and transaction based) are also discussed as is money-weighted attribution and developments associated with notional funds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1,3, South Bank University London (Business Faculty), course: Fondmanagement , language: English, abstract: Die Arbeit legt die Portfoliotheorie an Hand eine praktischen Beispiels dar. Auf der Basis von 10 Stocks aus dem FTSE 100 wird das optimale Portfolio errechnet und dessen Performance eingeordnet. ++++ According Warren Buffett, financial investors should never purchase a security, if they cannot accept that the value might be cut in half (Schömann-Finck, 2010). One of the most successful global investors has illustrated with this quote the risks involved in the business of financial investments. In order to optimize risk-return tradeoffs, scientific research has developed efficient diversification techniques. This paper examines the process of portfolio diversification based on a sample of 10 randomly selected securities. First the optimal portfolio is identified in order to evaluate its performance against the market trend via industry accepted benchmarking comparison tools in a second step. Finally, potential portfolio gains, achieved via diversification across additional asset classes, are discussed and evaluated. According to Bodie et al. (2008) the investment decision process can be separated into three major steps (see figure 1): Capital Allocation, Asset Allocation and Security Selection. For the purpose of this paper 100% of the available funds are assumed to be allocated into stocks. The portfolio created (see figure 2) consists of 10 randomly selected securities taken from the FTSE 100 index.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for RiskGrade Your Investments "In the same way that the introduction of RiskMetrics raised the level of the discussion (and sometimes debate) regarding market risk measurement and management at large financial institutions, the introduction of RiskGrades and this book represent a major step in the understanding and application of risk measurement and management techniques by individual investors." -Charles Smithson, Managing Partner, Rutter Associates, and author of Managing Financial Risk What Others Are Saying About RiskGrades.com Forbes' best of the web 2002: "Savvy analysis, all free." "A new and impressive Web-based service that promises to offer a clue to the question of how risky is your portfolio. RiskMetrics has been measuring portfolio risk for big financial institutions since 1994 and now sheds some light on investor risk. RiskGrades helps investors combine risk and return to make proper investment decisions." -BusinessWeek "Owning a high percentage of company stock in a retirement plan--any more than 20 percent--is one of the riskiest propositions in investing, and yet employees almost never measure this risk objectively or reduce their positions. . . . It is easy to approximate investment risk. A useful tool for measuring risk is available through RiskMetrics Group's www.riskgrades.com, a service that will measure the volatility and return of single securities or whole portfolios against all asset classes and international regions." -Financial Times "Without divining what exactly a fund owns, the system simply distills risk down to the likelihood of finding a severe change in its value on a given day. . . . Running a few notable funds through the rating bath can be a useful check on what an investor is putting on the line for a given dollar of investment gains." -Barron's "Mathematicians and economists use complex computer programs to examine the effects of different shocks on different portfolios. Such tests have been used for several years by professionals who manage multimillion-dollar investment funds. But RiskMetrics, a spinoff of J.P. Morgan Chase, is now providing similar tools for individual investors. RiskMetrics runs a Web site, www.riskgrades.com, which investors can use free of charge. The Web site allows investors to stress-test individual stocks and mutual funds as well as portfolios." -The Wall Street Journal

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the total return of investment portfolios composed of mutual funds and analyzes the contributions of strategic asset allocation (investment policy), tactical timing (the periodic over- or underweighting of asset classes relative to the strategic weightings), and security selection (the selection of individual mutual funds to represent asset classes). The results of Brinson, Hood and Beebower (1986) and Brinson, Singer and Beebower (1991) are confirmed using a sample free of several data limitations in their samples. Utilizing data from five model mutual fund portfolios, covering a wide range of asset class combinations over a three year period, I demonstrate that strategic asset allocation policy explains more than 90 per cent of the variation in total portfolio return, and that tactical timing decisions and security selection may also contribute significantly to the variation in total return. I expand the existing literature by performing a pooled regression, which incorporates all portfolios together (in addition to examining each portfolio individually and averaging the results, as in Brinson et al.) I further demonstrate that the results are also valid when examining risk-adjusted return: I extend the analysis to include several types of risk measure, examining the data in terms of absolute and relative variance, and conclude the analysis with an evaluation of the portfolios in terms of riskadjusted return, demonstrating that the results obtained vis-a-vis total return also apply on a risk adjusted return basis.
