Fin 2802: Investments Spring, 2010 Dragon Tang Lectures 21&22 Performance Evaluation April 13 & 15, 2010 Readings: Chapter 24 Practice Problem Sets: 4, 6, 8, 9, 10 -14 Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 1
Wall Street Interview Question You have a large jar containing 999 fair pennies and one two-headed penny. Suppose you pick one coin out of the jar and flip it 10 times and get all heads. What is the probability that the coin you chose is the two-headed one? Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 2
Performance Evaluation Objectives: 1. Compute risk-adjusted rates of return. 2. Decompose excess returns into components attributable to asset allocation choices versus security selection choices. 3. Assess the performance of portfolio managers. 4. Assess the value of Market Timing Ability Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 3
Performance • Skill – Timing ability (asset allocation) – Selection ability (security selection) • Luck Goal of performance evaluation is to distinguish skill (and specific components) from luck! Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 4
Risk-Adjusted Returns Comparison groups: • Blindly comparing rates of return ignores risk • Comparison groups with similar investment styles and portfolio characteristics can be used for performance comparison Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 5

Risk Adjustments • Sharpe measure • Treynor measure • Jensen measure Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 7
Sharpe Method Reward-to-volatility ratio: _ _ Appropriate for measuring the relative performance of an entire portfolio. Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 8
M 2 Measure • Developed by Modigliani and Modigliani • Equates the volatility of the managed portfolio with the market by creating a hypothetical portfolio made up of Tbills and the managed portfolio • If the risk is lower than the market, leverage is used and the hypothetical portfolio is compared to the market Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 9
Figure 24. 2 M 2 of Portfolio P Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 10
M 2 Measure: Example Managed Portfolio: return = 35% standard deviation = 42% Market Portfolio: return = 28% T-bill return = 6% standard deviation = 30% Hypothetical Portfolio: 30/42 =. 714 in P (1 -. 714) or. 286 in T-bills (. 714) (. 35) + (. 286) (. 06) = 26. 7% Since this return is less than the market, the managed portfolio underperformed Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 11
Treynor Measure Excess return to beta ratio: _ _ Appropriate for measuring the relative performance of parts of a portfolio. Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 12
Jensen Measure Alpha of an investment (from CAPM): Appropriate for measuring the absolute performance of a portfolio. Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 13
Information Ratio = ap / s(ep) Information Ratio divides the alpha of the portfolio by the nonsystematic risk Nonsystematic risk could, in theory, be eliminated by diversification Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 14
Which one to use? • Sharpe measure: Useful when assets are concentrated within a single portfolio managers • Treynor and Jensen measures: Useful when assets are spread across many portfolio managers. Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 15

Risk and Changing Portfolio Composition (Limitation of Performance Measures) • Risk adjustment techniques assume that portfolio risk is constant over the relevant time period. • However, changing the mean return and risk will add to the appearance of higher volatility. Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 19
Market Timing and Luck • If the portfolio manager can time the market, she would shift funds from the safe asset to the market portfolio (from cash to stocks or bonds) just before the market upturn. • This would increase the portfolio beta. • Empirical evidence indicates that betas did not increase prior to market advances indicating no evidence of successful market timing. (EMH strikes again)! Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 20
Performance Attribution Procedures • Understand which decisions lead to superior or inferior performance • Attribution studies start from the broadest asset allocation choices and progress towards every-finer details of portfolio choice. Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 21
Performance Attribution Process Components of Decomposition: 1. Broad asset market allocation choices (equity, fixed income and money market funds) 2. Industries (sectors) choices within each market 3. Security choices within each sector Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 22
Performance Attribution Procedures • The Bogey is the return an investment manager is compared to for performance evaluation. • The bogey portfolio indicates the returns of a completely passive strategy. • Performance at each step is to be compared to a benchmark or bogey portfolio. Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 23
Performance of the Managed Portfolio Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 24
Performance Attribution 1. Asset allocation 2. Security selection – Equity » Sector allocation » Security allocation – Fixed Income Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 25
Performance Attribution: Asset Allocation Contribution Was superior performance due to asset allocation? • Compare the return from the active allocation procedure to a hypothetical passive portfolio composed of indices in every category (stocks, bonds…). Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 26
Performance Attribution Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 27
Sector and Security Selection Was superior performance due to sector and security selection decisions? • Compare portfolio’s equity performance to the S&P 500 Index • Compare your fixed-income performance to the Lehman Brothers or Merrill Lynch index • Compare sector weights in your portfolio to the S&P 500 Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 28

Portfolio Attribution: Summary Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 30
Market Timing • Asset Allocation in which investment in the market is increased when the market is expected to outperform T-bills. • Perfect timing from 1927 to 1978: 34. 71% p. a. ! • Extremely hard to implement (forecasting) • Value of market timing is like the value of a call option on the index (in the money when index does better than T-bill) Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 31

Value of Imperfect Forecasting • Being “right most of the time” does not necessarily mean having forecasting abilities. • Need to examine the proportion of correct “bull market forecast” (P 1) and correct “bear market forecast” (P 2). • Measure of market timing ability: P 1+P 2 -1 • Value of imperfect forecasting: (P 1+P 2 -1)x. C where C=call option value of a perfect market timer Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 34
Practical Measures • Morningstar mutual fund rankings – Similar to mean Standard Deviation rankings – Companies are put into peer groups – Stars are assigned: 1 -lowest; 5 -highest – Highly correlated to Sharpe measures • Style analysis – Explaining percentage returns by allocation to style – Popular with the industry • Treynor-Black Model: combine actively managed stocks with a passively managed portfolio Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 35
Style Analysis • Introduced by William Sharpe • 1992 study of mutual fund performance – 91. 5% of variation in return could be explained by the funds’ allocations to bills, bonds and stocks • Later studies show that 97% of the variation in return could be explained by the funds’ allocation to a broader range of asset classes Fin 2802, Spring 10 - Tang Chapter 24: Performance Evaluation 36

Summary • Measures of portfolio performance Sharpe measure; Treynor measure; Jensen measure • Shifting mean and variance of actively managed portfolios creates problems with performance measures • Performance attribution procedures allow evaluator to judge performance based on asset allocation, industry (sector) allocation and security selection • Market timing as a call option • Value of imperfect forecasting • April 22: Project Presentation Ø 10 minutes per group: 8 minute presentation, 2 minutes Q&A ØSend your presentation to TA before presentation day!
