标题: Active Return [打印本页]

So if you see a question asking you to calculate "active return" and you see the following items, what would be your answer?

Return of portfolio = 10%
Benchmark = 12%
Investor's Normal Benchmark (same style) = 9%
作者: Zestt    时间: 2011-7-13 13:43

if "return of portfolio" is the manager's return and "investor's normal benchmark" is the managers normal benchmark, then 1%.

I knew throwing out this question would raise some confusion.

From my understanding, "Active return" is the return from the broad benchmark, the TRUE active return is the one from the investor's normal benchmark.

Is that the correct answer? Confirmation please.

true active is more precise
but total active is what mostly use
depends on the question
作者: wake2000    时间: 2011-7-13 13:44

not investor's normal
but manager's normal portfolio
作者: Valores    时间: 2011-7-13 13:44

total active return = 1
assuming benchmark is the managers benchmark
true active return = 10-12 =-2

misfit = 12-9=3

My answer...

Although I don't know why you put (same style) that confuses me.

Return of portfolio = 10%
Broad market Benchmark = 12%
Manager's Normal Portfolio return = 9%

I was talking about Soccer. I would have put your answer from his first post. His part where it said same style through me off.

omg I think I might be the one person who writes questions poorer than the BSAS.....

True active return = manager's total return - manager's normal portfolio return
Misfit active return = manager's normal portfolio return - investor's benchmark

I wanted to know what the "active return" was.... aka manager's total return - investor's benchmark

Wrong on the definition of misfit:

Misfit active return = manager's normal BENCHMARK return - investor's benchmark.

Managers style underperformed 3% to the broad index.
Manager outperformed style by 1%.
-3 + 1 = -2.

That is just how I remember it from doing it every day.

Managers "true" active return = Manager's return - Manger's normal benchmark. 10 - 9 = 1
Manager's misfit active return = Manager's normal benchmark - Investors benchmark. = 9 - 12 = -3.

Total active return = 1 - 3 or -2.

I don't get it, isn't that what I had?
