9780935015645: Benchmarks and Attribution Analysis

Synopsis

Investment performance, whether of portfolios or individual managers, cannot be evaluated without a performance yardstick (i.e., a benchmark); however, selecting the wrong benchmark can be as damaging as poor portfolio management. The authors in this proceedings discuss what constitutes an appropriate benchmark, how to select appropriate benchmarks, and how to conduct attribution analysis, looking at both risk and return.
