Performance Measurement Attribution Series
HKSFA is proud to present our “Performance Measurement Attribution” workshops held in conjunction with The Spaulding Group. This series of programmes will consist of the following two-day workshops:
(A) Fundamentals of Performance Measurement (B) Performance Measurement Attribution
Highlights of the Workshops:
(A) FUNDAMENTALS OF PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
22nd, 23rd July 2014 (Tue & Wed) 9:00am – 5:00pm
This course provides attendees with a core grounding in the tools and techniques used to calculate investment performance. Participants are taken through practical examples and given ample opportunity for firm-specific questions. The workshop is conducted over two full days. Participants walk away with a working knowledge of the concepts that define performance measurement. There are no prerequisites for this class and there is no advanced preparation required.
(*Rating: General)
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
- Performance Measurement Concepts – Develop a solid grounding on what performance measurement is all about.
- Rate of Return Calculations – Learn the various formulas to derive performance, understand the impact of cash flows and learn about time- and money- weighting. Participants also learn about geometric linking, annualization, and much more.
- Benchmarks – Gain insights into the primary performance measurement benchmarks (indexes, peer groups, absolute, and custom) and the importance of each.
- Risk Measurement – Learn the importance of risk measurement and the various formulas available.
- Performance Attribution – Develop an appreciation and understanding of attribution. - The Performance Presentation Standards (GIPS) – Establish fundamental knowledge about the
Global Investment Performance Standards, its history, and its many concepts and requirements. - Manager Selection & Performance Appraisal – Gain insights into manager screening and
selection, as well as alternative approaches to manager types and investment approaches.
In addition to receiving a participant guide that contains the details of the workshop presentation, each participant receives supporting reference material to take back with them, including:
- A complimentary copy of The Handbook of Investment Performance: A user’s Guide, Second Edition by David Spaulding, CIPM (TSG Publishing, 2011).
- The Spaulding Group’s Performance, Attribution and Risk Reference Guide, a handy pocket reference.
- A copy of the GIPS Standards, and because this is a hands on class, participants receive a calculator, too!
* Ratings
1. General - Material presented will be basic and of interest to a general audience having no background in the area. 2. Intermediate - Material presented will have technical elements requiring a working knowledge of the subject to
make full use of the presentation. 3. Advanced - Highly focused technical presentations of interest to participants with a high level of technical
knowledge in the subject area. 4. Unrated - HKSFA has yet to receive sufficient information to grade the content of this event.
(B) PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT ATTRIBUTION
24th , 25th July 2014 (Thurs & Fri) 9:00am – 5:00pm
This workshop is two full days devoted to this increasingly important topic. Participants walk away with practical knowledge, are able to calculate performance attribution and interpret the results. There are no prerequisites for this workshop (although we recommend completing the Fundamentals of Performance Measurement workshop), and there is no advanced preparation required.
(*Rating – Intermediate / Advanced)
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
- Performance Attribution Concepts – Understand the fundamentals concepts of attribution, and how they’re applied to investing. Learn the criteria for attribution systems.
- Equity Attribution – Develop an appreciation for the differences between the two “Brinson” models. Understand the various effects and how they’re derived, including interaction.
- Fixed Income Attribution – Fixed income concepts and why equity models don’t work for bonds. A review of various fixed income models.
- Multi-currency Attribution – Understand the key differences between naïve currency attribution, and the more extensive Karnosky-Singer model. Appreciate the basic requirements of the Karnosky-Singer model.
- Multi-period Attribution – Learn why arithmetic attribution is “linking challenged,” and requires the use of a linking model to extend the results across time. Gain insights into several of the more common models.
- Arithmetic vs. Geometric Attribution – Gain an appreciation for the differences between these two approaches, and the benefits and shortcomings of each.
- Holdings vs. Transaction-based Attribution – Learn the key differences between these two approaches. Become familiar with the often overlooked disadvantages of the holdings-based model.
- Applicability – Understand the fundamental role of attribution, and how its implementation can vary, depending on the type of management (e.g., a long-only vs. hedge fund manager) or perspective (e.g., models for plan sponsors).
In addition to receiving a participant guide that contains the details of the class presentation, each participant receives supporting reference material to take back with them including:
- A Performance, Attribution and Risk Measurement Reference Guide, a handy pocket reference.
- Copies of selected articles from The Journal of Performance Measurement®.
- A calculator for participants to work through hands on exercises.
* Ratings 1. General - Material presented will be basic and of interest to a general audience having no background in the area. 2. Intermediate - Material presented will have technical elements requiring a working knowledge of the subject to make full use of
the presentation. 3. Advanced - Highly focused technical presentations of interest to participants with a high level of technical knowledge in the
subject area. 4. Unrated - HKSFA has yet to receive sufficient information to grade the content of this event.
The workshops are highly interactive and “real world”. Participants are afforded the opportunity to present and discuss issues that they may be wrestling with or have uncovered. Exercises are provided throughout each workshop to give participants the chance to try out the various formulas and techniques to which they’ve been introduced. In addition, the instructor uses case studies and real life examples to enhance the material and make the concepts more relevant.
