The Portfolio Management Process
1. Policy statement
– specifies investment goals and acceptable risk levels– should be reviewed periodically– guides all investment decisions
2. Study current financial and economic conditions and forecast future trends– determine strategies to meet goals– requires monitoring and updates
3. Construct the portfolio– allocate available funds to meet goals and minimize investor’s risks– Include constraints in the optimization process (e.g., Liquidity needs and
Time horizon)
4. Monitor and update– revise policy statement as needed and modify investment strategy
accordingly– evaluate portfolio performance
Which is about…• Four decisions
– What asset classes to consider for investment– What optimal weights to assign to each eligible
class– The allowable allocation ranges based on policy
weights– What specific securities to purchase for the portfolio
Most (85% to 95%) of the overall investment return is due to the first two decisions, not the
selection of individual investments• FACT: Over long time periods sizable allocation to
equity will improve results
“Adjusting portfolio for up and down movements in the market”
Shift between risky assets and risk-free instruments (CML) Evidence of the importance of Market Timing: Returns from 1987 - 1996 Switch to T-Bills in 87, 90 and 94No negative returns or losses; Average Ret. = 17.44%; S.D. Ret. = 12.38% higher returns, lower risk (downside is partially eliminated)

• Ability to catch an EXISTING trend=higher proportions of correct calls:– Bull markets and bear market calls allocation: De-
Emphasize individual security selection and focus on undervalued (promising) asset classes (Efficient Frontier, CML) top-bottom approach
– Undervalued and overvalued securitiesselection: Emphasize on individual security selection and focus on undervalued securities (SML, asset pricing models) bottom-up approach
In Practice:Imperfect Ability to Forecast
3 approaches to portfolio management
• 3 strategies or approaches based on how you will change the weights of your portfolio and select securities:– Passiveselection focus—FIXED PROPORTIONS:
Indexation SML, asset valuation models, fundamental analysis
– Semi-passive some timing, allocation and selection focus—PROPORTIONS CHANGED PERIODICALLY typically, your portfolio is broken down into a passive portion and an active speculative portion.
– Active continuous allocation and selection—PROPORTIONS CHANGED CONTINUOUSLY: recalculate efficient frontier often and/or position the portfolio Beta (look at the CML) for movements in the market :
» Bearishlower ßeta by buying T-bills » Bullishincrease ßeta by selling T-bills
What is Required of a Portfolio Manager?
• Above-average returns within a given risk class.
• Portfolio diversification to eliminate all unsystematic risk.• “above-average” or significant abnormal return?
– Abnormal=Excess performance compared to a benchmark portfolio with the same initial Reward to risk
– Above-average return is a Point estimate– Significant Abnormal (or excess) return refers to statistical inferences
about this point estimate.
• Factors that lead to abnormal performance– Market/asset/sector/industry Allocation
– Security Selection
– Protection
Composite Portfolio Performance Measures
• Treynor Measure SML
• Sharpe Measure CML
• Jensen Measure SML
J=(Rp –Rf) – Bj (Rm – Rf)
Example 2: Differentiate between the three measures
Treynor versus Sharpe Measures• Beta vs. Standard Deviation
– Treynor –> uses SML, thus focus on Beta assumes that portfolio is well diversified.
– Sharpe-> uses the CML, thus focus on standard deviationassumes that portfolio is not well diversified.
• Ranking differences from different diversification levels. (SML vs. CML)R2 will tell you!
• Benchmark choice may affect the R2
Example 3: The Jensen Measure
• Requires use of different RFR, Rm, and Rj, for each period.
• Assumes portfolio is well diversified and only considers systematic risk.
• Provides inferences about abnormal gain/loss
• Regression of (Rj- RFR) and (Rm - RFR).
–R2 can be useful as a measure of diversification.

• Decomposing overall performance into components
• Components are related to specific elements of performance:– Asset Allocation– Industry/Sector Allocation– Security Choice Selection
• Thus,
Contribution for asset and sector/industry allocation
+ Contribution for security selection
= Total Contribution from asset class

Example 7: Another example of PAA
Benchmark Manager A Manager B
Weight Return Weight Return Weight Return
Stock 0.6 -5% 0.5 -4% 0.3 -5%
Bonds 0.3 -3.5 0.2 -2.5 0.4 -3.5
Cash 0.1 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3
• Calculate the overall return of each portfolio and comment on whether these managers have under- or over-performed the benchmark fund.• Using attribution analysis, calculate (1) the asset allocation and (2) the sector allocation/stock selection (combined) effects. Combine your findings with those of (a.) and discuss each manager’s skills.
Example 7: Another example of PAA
1. Excess return
R(Benchmark)= weighted average return
=60% x (–5%) +30% x (–3.5%) + 10% x 0.3%
= - 4.02%
R(a)= -2.41%
R(b)= -2.81%
So
Excess return (a)= -2.41%-(-4.02%)= 1.61%
Excess return (b)= -2.81%-(-4.02%)= 1.21%
Example 7: Another example of PAA• Allocation effect:

Stock 50 60 -5% 0.5%

Bond 40 30 -3.5% -0.35%

Example 7: Another example of PAA
• Selection Effect: Excess return –Allocation effect
• A: 1.61%-0.91%=0.7%
• B: 1.21%-1.21% =0%
• A is good at allocating and selecting
• B is specialized in allocating among asset classes
