Gap/Knowledge Filling 66-68 • Investment Principles & Risks • Methods of Evaluating Portfolio Performance • Performance Measurement • Performance Attribution Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Investment Principles/Objectives • Growth • Derive an income • Capital security • Liquidity Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Investment Markets • Classification of assets • Financial behaviour of assets • Correlation of assets • Fiscal impact of assets Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Basics of Risk • Risk Tolerance The degree of uncertainty that aninvestorcan handle in regard to a negative change in the value of his or her portfolio. • Risk Capacity Financial risk capacity can be measured in many different ways, including time horizon, liquidity, wealth and income. People who have a high liquidity requirement (they could need access to their money at any time) are constrained to how much risk they can take. Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Past Performance • Understand investment markets • Assess the investment and composition • Look at Manager competence • Reward for management • Predicting the outcomes Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Performance • Measurement- returns made over a period • Evaluation Whether manager added value How the manager added value Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Calculating returns Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference • Money weighted return MWR A measure of the overall return on capital invested over a specific period may include allowance for income introduced or withdrawn Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Money Weighted return • R= D+V1-V0 V0 • R= rate of return • V0= value at the start of the portfolio • V1=value of the portfolio at the end of the period • D= income during the period Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Money Weighted Return • V0= £25,000 • V1= £28,000 • Income (generated) paid out £1,000 £1,000 + £28,000 - £25,000 £25,000 =0.16 MWR=16% Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Money Weighted Return (income withdrawn/added) MWR= D+V1-V0- C V0+(C x n/12) Where N is the number of months C = Cashflow Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Money Weighted Return (income added and withdrawn) • V0= £20,000 • V1= £24,000 • £3,000 invested in 3rd month • £2,000 withdrawn in 9th month • £3,000 - £2,000=£1,000 = 24,000 - 20,000 -1,000 20,000+ (3,000x9/12)+(-2,000x3/12) =0.1379 13.79% Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Time weighted return • The time-weighted rate of return is the preferred industry standard as it is not sensitive to contributions or withdrawals. • It is defined as the compounded growth rate of £1 over the period being measured. • The time-weighted formula is essentially a geometric mean of a number of holding-period returns that are linked together or compounded over time (thus, time-weighted). • The holding-period return, or HPR, (rate of return for one period) is computed using this formula: Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Time weighted return Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Eliminates distortions caused by timing of new money Breaking down the return for a particular period Reflects sub periods of withdrawn/added cash Compounding sub periods to get overall return Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
1+R = (1 +r1)(1+r2)(1+r3).......(1+rn) R=TWR r1=holding period n= sub periods Simple Approach to TWR Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Alpha and Beta Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
BETA • A measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the market as a whole. • Beta is used in the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), a model that calculates the expected return of an asset based on its beta and expected market returns. Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
BETA • 0.5 Beta lower volatile than market • 1.0 market performance • 1.5 market outperformance/underperformance • Historical data Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Risk adjusted returns • Alpha • Sharpe Ratio • Information Ratio Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Alpha • A measure of performance on a risk-adjusted basis. Alpha takes the volatility (price risk) of a security(stock) and compares its risk-adjusted performance to a benchmark index. • Difference between what you would expect from a security b and the actual return • Cannot be explained by general market movements Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Alpha Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Positive and Negative ALPHA POSITIVE.......value added NEGATIVE...........value detracted Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Demonstration of Alpha Fund A 12% 4% 10% 1.2 12- [4+1.2(10-4)] =0.8% Fund B 10% 4% 10% 0.8 10- [4+0.8(10-4)] =1.2% Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Sharpe Ratio The Sharpe ratio tells us whether a portfolio's returns are due to smart investment decisions or a result of excess risk. This measurement is very useful because although one portfolio or fund can reap higher returns than its peers, it is only a good investment if those higher returns do not come with too much additional risk. A variation of the Sharpe ratio is the Sortino ratio, which removes the effects of upward price movements on standard deviation to measure only return against downward price volatility. Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Interpreting Sharpe Ratio • The greater a portfolio's Sharpe ratio, the better its risk-adjusted performance has been. • A negative Sharpe ratio indicates that a risk-less asset would perform better than the security being analyzed Portfolio return 10% Risk free return 4% SD 8% Sharpe= 10 – 4 8 0.75% return over the risk free rate for each unit of risk taken Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Information Ratio • Assess risk adjusted performance • Used to demonstrate consistency of beating benchmark index • IR= Ra –Rb Tracking error Ra = portfolio return Rb = benchmark return Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Information Ratio IR A high IR can be achieved by having a high return in the portfolio, a low return of the index and a low tracking error. For example: Manager A might have returns of 13% and a tracking error of 8% Manager B has returns of 8% and tracking error of 4.5% The index has returns of -1.5% Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
Manager B had lower returns but a better information ratio Manager A's IR = [13-(-1.5)]/8 = 1.81 Manager B's IR = [8-(-1.5)]/4.5 = 2.11Manager B had lower returns but a better IR. A high ratio means a manager can achieve higher returns more efficiently than one with a low ratio by taking on additional risk.

Long term view Asset Allocation Is the KeyThe belief has its origins in a study by Brinson, Hood and Beebower entitled "Determinants of Portfolio Performance" (Financial Analysts Journal, July/August Issue, 1986). • The study concluded that 93.6% of the variation of returns in a diversified portfolio is explained by the asset allocation policy. • The key term here is "diversified", but we will address that in a moment. Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management
'Strategic Asset Allocation’ • A portfolio strategy that involves periodically rebalancing the portfolio in order to maintain a long-term goal for asset allocation. 'Tactical Asset Allocation - TAA’ • An active management portfolio strategy that rebalances the percentage of assets held in various categories in order to take advantage of market pricing anomalies or strong market sectors. Dynamic Asset Allocation‘ ‘Dynamic Asset Allocation’ • A portfolio management strategy that involves rebalancing a portfolio so as to bring the asset mix back to its long-term target. Such rebalancing would generally involve reducing positions in the best-performing asset class, while adding to positions in underperforming assets. The general premise of dynamic asset allocation is to reduce the fluctuation risks and achieve returns that exceed the target benchmark.
