Interretation: this measure evaluates the comensation earned by the ortfolio manager, as gauged by the exected excess return er unit of ortfolio total risk 7 / 6

P r R r

10 The (1) Some Main Limits of Relative Performance Rankings are consistent only if ortfolio returns are ellitically distributed and/or the reresentative agent has a quadratic * utility function Use of derivative instruments (fat-tailed and skewed return distributions) or/and strategies with (time-varying) leverage effects yield to misleading conclusions (see Kao, 00; Amin and Kat, 003a and 003b; Gregoriou and Gueyie, 003) 10 / 6 *excet for Zakamouline and Koekebakker (009).

15 The () The Main Limits of Absolute Performance Performance comuted with these measures are strongly influenced by the reference ortfolio (market ortfolio or roxy) Almost all of them assumes stability of the systematic risk * sensitivities of the investor s ortfolio over time Disregards skewness and kurtosis of the studied ortfolio returns which may alter rankings when using investment ** strategies based on derivative instruments 15 / 6 * excet for Ferson and Schadt (1996). ** excet for Hwang and Satchell (1998).

16 The (3) General Form of Density-based Performance (exressed in scalar terms no unit) PM P r P r 1, r where are the (rescaled) returns, P is a function that deends uon the observed erformance and P is a measure focusing on a secific (left) art of the suort of the density of returns. Objective: comaring the observed (rescaled) erformance of the managed ortfolio to an exression deending on its losses 16 / 6

17 The (3) PM Most of the Density-based Performance can be exressed such as: H,,,, o, o, k, k k o1 o 1 ES 1, * o 1 ES * o 3, xr, 1 4, x r, 1 1 k / 6 x * r, i r i where corresonds to the ortfolio order statistics in excess of a threshold for comuting gains (for i = 1) and losses or risk (for i =), 3 is a threshold secifying the right art of the suort of the return density (i.e. gains) and 4 is another threshold associated with the left art (i.e. losses), o1 ando are intensification constants, k1 andk are normalizing constants.

18 The (3) The Omega measure (Keating and Shadwick, 00) 1, O E r r E r r where E is the conditional exectation oerator, corresonds to the return on a ortfolio and threshold... is a Interretation: it comares the otential gains of the managed ortfolio over its otential losses, both defined according to a threshold 18 / 6

20 The (3) The Main Limits of Density-based Performance Performance measures are highly related to the threshold (risk free rate, Minimum Accetable Return or Value-at-Risk) The link with the utility function of the studied agent is not straightforward Density are subject to model risk 0 / 6

21 The (4) 1 3 General Form of Utility-based Performance (exressed in return er unit of util) where are the (rescaled) returns, is the exectation oerator, V is a value (or utility) function and is a 4 5 r secific function that deends uon the erformance of the investor s ortfolio. PM G E V r, G Objective: evaluating the ortfolio erformance from exlicit reresentative value (or utility) functions. 1 / 6

22 The (4) 1 The Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return (Morningstar, 00) 1 A 1 A MRAR E r, 5 where is the exectation oerator, are the returns of a ortfolio, (with ) is the risk aversion coefficient of the studied investor. Interretation: incororating the behavior of the agent, through a Power Utility Function, for assessing the ortfolio erformance, given a risk aversion coefficient / 6

24 The (4) The Main Limits of Utility-based Performance Strongly deendent on the utility function (exonential, ower or logarithmic) characterizing the behavior of the studied investor Highly sensitive to the investor s attitude towards risk through the risk aversion coefficient (which can be time-varying) Rankings obtained with these measures are directly related to the benchmark (risk free rate or roxy) 4 / 6

25 Preliminary Conclusions 1 We roose a Survey of erformance measures in a uniform and comrehensive framework through four main families clearly identified, namely relative, absolute, density-based and utilityrelated erformance measures 3 We define these main families according to two essential criteria: 4 the unit in which it is exressed, and the way the measure is built 5 We formulate a general exression for each of the four categories of erformance measures, in which most of the erformance 6 measures fits 5 / 6

26 Extensions 1 On our on-going research agenda, we have lanned to add new erformance measures (30 extra or so), in order to comlete our actual Survey 3 Next ste will be to erform some emirical alications in order to comare the roerties of collected measures (rank correlation 4 tests, ersistence, lucky versus star funds studies, etc.) 5 We would like also to comlement our intuitions about a new erformance measure (called Generalized Performance Measure ), 6which can be seen as a generalization of the four main categories resented in this aer. 6 / 6
