Performance Evaluation and Attribution Volume Two

This Second Edition of Performance Evaluation and Attribution Volume Two: Analysis and Reporting explains the practical aspects of building or interpreting a top-to-bottom performance attribution system applicable to many asset classes, providing a toolkit of attribution techniques for analyzing the performance of portfolio managers.

Requiring a familiarity with the principal concepts of portfolio analysis, it features standard methodologies and alternative approaches to the attribution of diverse assets, including derivatives, fixed income, and hedge funds.

Based on the authors’ Performance Evaluation and Attribution of Security Portfolios (2012), this volume‘s concentration on the ethical standards embodied by GIPS includes a summary of provisions for the presentation of risk in a firm’s investments.
