Introducing POW! 1. 22 Principal Components Robust Components Missing data 12

Introducing POW! 1. 22 Principal Component Analysis § What is it? Standard mathematical technique for reduction and interpretation of multivariate datasets § Corner stone Projection of original data set into a new set of variables on an orthogonal basis § Effect Sacrifice some (possibly spurious) accuracy for economy of description 13

Introducing POW! 1. 22 Principal Component Analysis § Benefits: • Capture the underlying trends by identifying parameter correlations • Data compression, which is important when analyzing large data sets • Used as inputs in statistical factor models • Useful when choice of fundamental or macro factors is unclear § Possible financial applications: • Portfolio construction Remove noise and control exposure to the main drivers of the market structure • Forecasting Anything that might be useful as an indicator of future events • Trading strategy Trend duration – PCA could shed some lights on Market Memory. 14

Introducing POW! 1. 22 Principal Component Analysis § Test: • § Data: • • § All components of the MSCI World Monthly returns from 31/08/2000 to 31/10/2008 Result: • § Compare the movement of the first eigenvalue (variance of the first factor) to the return on the MSCI World Losses that securities suffered during late 2008 are reflected by a jump in the first eigenvalue Interpretation: • First eigenvalue importance seems to be negatively correlated with market crash 15

Introducing POW! 1. 22 Robust Component Analysis § What is RCA ? An intuitive, iterative way to think about PCA • • § Same results as in PCA taking a different path Has all PCA’s bells and whistle functions and even more… How it works • • Imagine you built an index of (say) FT chemicals. . . then adjusted the index for the betas of the components. . . then calculated betas to the new index. . . then adjusted the index. . . › • • and so on until it converges You would have the first eigenvector. . then repeat for the unexplained residuals n time › and you would have a PCA model 16

Introducing POW! 1. 22 Robust Component Analysis § Strength is its flexibility • Can control betas (eg no beta <0 or >1) • Can divide time-series into logical groups › • eg regions within the MSCI World, but still allow some markets (eg US) to be shared by all groups) Can be used to fill and model gappy data › › some markets closed for public holiday data needed monthly but some only available quarterly short time series (eg recently launched funds) markets slow to release data (eg Japanese property) 17

Introducing POW! 1. 22 RCA : Filling the gaps § Test: • § Data: • • § All components of the MSCI World Monthly Prices from 31/07/2000 to 31/10/2008 Missing data: • • § Introduce gaps in some of the MSCI World Index components Belgium: 31/05/01 to 31/05/02 Netherlands: 30/09/02 to 28/11/03 Result: • Clearly, the filled data follow the same pattern (variation in returns) as the original data 18

Introducing POW! 1. 22 POW! RCA & PCA : 2 sets of functions § Accessible via the POW! Toolbox module § Implemented within POW! as a set of functions using the control cell technology § Possible to have multiple analyses within one worksheet/workbook § Output results: • • Asset Prices Asset and factor (filled) Returns Asset and factor Risks Residuals, R-squareds. . . 19

Introducing POW! 1. 22 What do I do when my Forecasts are partly based on history? Correcting the hidden assumptions of Black-Litterman 20

What do I do when my Forecasts are partly based on history? Correcting the hidden assumptions of Black-Litterman § The problem to solve § The Bayesian forecasting procedure § The non-orthogonal Bayesian formalism § The Bayesian Black-Litterman (BL) model § Numerical exploration of non-orthogonal BL 21

The problem to solve Where is the risk gone ? § Black-Litterman (BL) (1990) - forecast of one-step ahead returns ( ) - no need to have views on everything - views can be relative § The BL Satchell Scowcroft (2000) - also use ( ) § OCCAM’s client => /2? 22

The Bayesian forecasting procedure The blending of two signals Historic Forecast (Prior) Bayes Posterior 2 2 23

The Bayesian forecasting procedure A first difficulty : risk underestimation (client) s-2 = s-2 + s-2 24

The Bayesian forecasting procedure A second difficulty : informative Prior results in flawed density (Press 89) F//=f(FT(market=H)) H H F (I) F// F F (I) (I; I) 25

The non-orthogonal Bayesian formalism (OCCAM) filters out ‘redundant‘ information (Bayes) = f (non- Bayes) = f H 0 0 F H F 26

The Bayesian Black-Litterman model applies Bayesian inference technique to asset allocation - normality assumed - Forecast signal (on individual positions or portfolio) = (m, 1) : forecasted Returns (m, m) : covariance matrix (often = ) - Historic signal = (n, 1) : implied (Mean-Variance) Returns (n, n) : historical covariance matrix - all 3 cases m<n; m=n; m>m are allowed (P matrix) - used as input for mean-variance asset allocation 27

Numerical exploration of non-orthogonal BL A brief and incomplete look at the settings of a POW! Fro, Bak, Bay, Aut workbook 28

Numerical exploration of non-orthogonal BL coupling decreases the FE 29

Numerical exploration of non-orthogonal BL coupling corrects the risk underestimation 30

Numerical exploration of non-orthogonal BL coupling compensates for wrong model choice 31

Numerical exploration of non-orthogonal BL coupling secures some outperformance 32

Conclusions Just the beginning non- Bayesian formalism => acts like a ‘redundant information filter’ => applicable to all type of empirical Bayesian techniques (including BL) non- BL formalism, => reduces FE of expected returns => produces better covariance matrices improved means and covariances are easily converted into outperformance by MV optimiser 33

Introducing POW! 1. 22 Compound Linear Constraints Protection against the unexpected 34

Introducing POW! 1. 22 Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) § § History • Harry Markowitz introduced MPT in a 1952 article. Basic assumptions • Risk is defined in terms of variance • Rational investors are risk averse • Investor's preferences are represented by a function of the expected return and the variance of a portfolio Framework • Mean-Variance analysis Combine risky assets so as to minimize the variance of return at any desired expected return Output • Efficient Frontier Set of all portfolios that will give the highest expected return for each given level of risk 35

Introducing POW! 1. 22 What if history had been different? The balanced, block and calendar bootstrap 47

What if history had been different? The balanced, block and calendar bootstrap § The mean-variance optimisation problem to fix § The POW! Robust module § Is balanced bootstrap always appropriate ? § The block bootstrap and the calendar blocking § more on POW! TS facilities 48

The mean-variance optimisation problem to fix The mean-variance Markowitz asset allocation… 49

The mean-variance optimisation problem to fix …takes history too seriously 50

The POW! Robust module … …averages Markowitz calculations R 4 R 3 R 1 R 3 R 4 R 5 original TS R 5 random sampling R 2 R 4 R 2 R 3 + = R 1 R 4 R 2 51

The POW! Robust module … …let you see how the bootstrapped EF was constructed 52

Is balanced bootstrap always appropriate ? What is a balanced bootstrap? R 1 R 2 R 3 take 2 copies R 4 R 5 R 1 R 2 R 4 R 2 R 5 R 2 R 3 R 3 R 1 R 4 R 3 R 4 R 5 R 1 R 5 shuffle randomly original TS 2 resampled TS : : R 2 R 4 R 5 R 2 R 3 R 1 R 3 R 4 R 1 R 5 TS 1 TS 2 53

Is balanced bootstrap always appropriate ? No, when serial (time) dependency induces autocorrelation 54

Is balanced bootstrap always appropriate ? Real estate data (IPD) exhibit strong auto-correlation 55

Is balanced bootstrap always appropriate ? Hedge-fund indices (Morning. Star) exhibit strong autocorrelation as well 56

The block bootstrap… …maintains the serial structure of the original TS R 4 R 5 B 4 TS 1 R 4 R 1 B 1 = {R 1, R 2} B 4 R 2 R 5 B 2 ={R 2, R 3} B 2 R 3 R 4 R 5 original TS ‘block’ ‘unblock’ B 3 = {R 3, R 4} B 2 B 4 = {R 4, R 5} std random resampling TS 2 R 2 B 1 R 3 B 3 R 1 R 2 R 3 57

The calendar blocking. . …to check for a seasonality effect Acker (1999) looks at of US stocks & finds : -. 4 < < 3. 2 depending on the reference date! R 1 R 2 R 1’ R 3 R 1” R 4 B 1 = {R 1, R 1’…} R 5 B 2 ={R 2, R 2’…} R 1’ B 3 ={R 3, R 3’…} R 2’ … R 3’ R 2” R 4’ … R 5’ … original TS 58

The POW! ‘across the board’ TS facilities… …to address specific needs (possibly independently of the asset allocation problem) R 1 R 2 R 3 R 4 R 5 measures: - statistics - population parameter estimation (bootstrap, shrinkage) TS (ie scenario) generation: -static transformations (augment , ) -bootstrapping TS -TS simulation (multi. N, VAR(1)…) Excel, VB(6, A, . NET), C++ , , , … AR 1 AR 2 Ar 3 AR 4 AR 5 59

Conclusions a few last observations § The problem of over-concentration of mean-variance portfolio is fixed by bootstrap resampling § The choice of the bootstrap method depends on the characteristics of the TS : balanced or block or calendar, or …? § TS facilities for those who need increase flexibility 60

Appendix I : benefits of robust asset allocation Markowitz portfolio tends to be concentrated… 61

Appendix I : benefits of robust asset allocation compared to their robust analogues… …that are diversified and change smoothly 62

Appendix II : Motivation for Calendar ‘blocking’ Risk is risky 63

Appendix II : motivation for calendar ‘blocking’ …so is correlation 64

Introducing POW! 1. 22 Property is Different What can it teach us ? Direct or indirect: How can an investor decide ? 65

Property is different: what can it teach us ? Some questions: 1. What is the impact on portfolio risk of a) b) c) d) Number of stocks held ? Portfolio size ? Value-skewness (unequal lot sizes) ? How much alpha do I need to offset these impacts ? 2. What is the impact on the choice between direct and indirect of Portfolio size ? 66

The Tools for the Job § The Data • • • § The IPD monthly, quarterly and annual databases Individual IPD/IPF property risk data from Callender, Devaney and Sheahan 2007 (1995 -2004) The IPD AREF fund database The Model • The IPD / OCCAM UK Property model, developed by OCCAM in cooperation with IPD • Building on the work of • Ø Ø Bill Sharpe Guy Morrell Rice, R. Realistic Portfolio Analysis and Construction ERES 2007 67

The POW! Property Model § The challenge: to create an asset allocation and risk analysis tool allowing for property's special features: • can't estimate betas at stock level • • can't estimate residual risk stock-by-stock • • § but sector gearing is equivalent but can at sector level large, variable lot sizes The solution • a Multi-Diagonal Model (MDM) using • EWEs and • Linear Risk to capture size and its impact on residual risk 68

1. An MDM is simply a set of single-index models, one for each sector, capturing: § For each sector • Expected return • Market risk • Correlation with other sectors § For direct investments • Lot size by sector • Transaction costs § For each indirect fund • • Expected alpha Expected manager risk Gearing Sector exposure Value skewness Costs Their EWE § For a given investor • Their EWE 69

2. EWEs: What are they ? We tend to think of stock as equally weighted: 45 kg 70

… but usually they suffer from value-skewness 45 kg and are more like this: 100 kg 24 kg 11 kg 71

So the diversification is less. We can think of this as an Equal-Weighted Equivalent 45 kg EWE = 3. 0 EWE = 1. 7 45 kg 72

EWEs can easily be derived from CVSs: 73

Typical fund EWEs 74

IPD/OCCAM UK Model Risk analysis showing Concentration Risk 75

3. Linear Risk PROBLEM: EWEs are OK for analysis, but for allocation… §. . to work out §. . we need to know • how much to put in a sector è the sector's risk for us • the sector's risk for us è how many stocks we'll buy • how many stocks we'll buy è how much to put in the sector SOLUTION: Solve for both at once using Linear Risk: 76

So now let’s look at allocation and get the Optimiser to answer our questions 77

Q 1 a. How does number of holdings impact portfolio risk? assuming zero risk from other sources 78

Q 1 b. How does portfolio size impact portfolio risk ? 79

Q 1 c. How does value-skewness impact portfolio risk? EWE= N EWE =. 5 N 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 80

Q 1 d. How much alpha do I need to offset these ? bps EWE= N EWE=0. 5 N 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 81

Q 1. Conclusion and Lesson § Size brings increased diversification potential § Small funds require enormous alpha to make Direct worthwhile • especially if they are skewed § Much better to hold an indirect stake in a fund • even if it has negative alpha • provided management fees are reasonable ! § What can Property teach us ? • The same applies to not-so-high-net-worth investors in equities etc 82

Q 2 Impact of Portfolio Size on Direct vs Indirect ? Case 1: £ 50 m portfolio Rel. returns 0. 1% 1. 7% 2. 4% 2. 7% 2. 9% Direct hatched Indirect plain Smaller portfolios should go almost entirely for indirect funds 83

Q 2 Impact of Portfolio Size on Direct vs Indirect ? Case 2: £ 1000 m portfolio Rel. returns -0. 2% 1. 7% 2. 4% 2. 7% 2. 9% Larger portfolios can make much more use of direct – but why the use of indirect as portfolios become more aggressive? 84

What effect does linear risk have on the Frontier ? Without. . .

What effect does linear risk have on the Frontier ? . . . and with. . .

What effect does linear risk have on the Frontier ? No, its not impossible. . .

Where next ? § The MDM approach can be applied: • on a custom or DIY basis to • different UK segmentations, eg age of build, floor area • in the IPD/OCCAM Global Property Model to • global portfolios (with/without currency hedging • forthcoming • to individual countries outside the UK • You name it ! § Bells and whistles can be added, such as • currencies • value creep • correlated residuals and managers • apply Ledoit shrinkage to condition the matrix • etc
