Portfolioevaluation

The document discusses several performance indexes used to evaluate portfolio performance: - Sharpe's index measures risk-adjusted return by comparing the portfolio's excess return over the risk-free rate to the portfolio's volatility. A higher Sharpe ratio indicates better performance. - Treynor's index also measures risk-adjusted return but focuses on systematic risk (beta) rather than total risk. A higher Treynor ratio means the portfolio earned more excess return per unit of market risk. - Jensen's alpha measures the excess return of a portfolio above what would be expected given its beta and market conditions. A positive alpha means the manager was able to select securities that outperformed market expectations.

Portfolio

Evaluation
The
Concept
❖Portfolio manager evaluates his
portfolio
performance and identifies the sources
of strength and
weakness.
❖ The evaluation of the portfolio provides a
feed
back about the performance to evolve
better management strategy.

❖ Evaluation of portfolio performance is


considered to be the last stage of
Sharpe’s Performance
Index
❖ Sharpe index measures the risk
premium of the portfolio relative to the
total amount of risk in the portfolio.

❖ Risk premium is the difference


between the portfolio’s average rate
of return and the risk less rate of
return.
Formula for
Sharpe’s Performance
Index

R p – Rf
St =
σp
■ Rp – Portfolio’s average rate of
■ return Rf – Riskless rate of
■ return
■ σp - Standard deviation of the
portfolio return The larger the St,
better the fund has performed
Treynor’s Performance
Index
❖ The relationship between a given
market
return and the fund’s return is given by the
characteristic line.
❖ The fund’s performance is measured in
relation to the market performance.
❖ The ideal fund’s return rises at a faster rate
than the general market performance when
the market is moving upwards.
❖ Its rate of return declines slowly than the
market return, in the decline.
Treynor’s Index
Formula
R p =  + Rm + ep

❖ Rp = Portfolio return

❖ Rm = The market return or index


return

❖ ep = The error term or the


residual
Beta co-efficient is treated as a
measure of undiversifiable or
systematic risk.
Portfolio average return – Riskless rate of interest
Tn = Beta co-efficient of portfolio
R p – Rf
Tn =
βp
■ The larger the Tn, better the fund has performed
■ Larger Tn is more desirable because it earned more
risk premium per unit of systematic risk .
Jensen’s Performance Index
❖ The absolute risk adjusted return measure
was developed by Michael Jensen.
❖ It is mentioned as a measure of absolute
performance because a definite standard is
set and against that the performance is
measured.
❖ The standard is based on the manager’s
predictive ability.
Jensen Model
■ The basic model of Jensen is:
■
Rp =  +  (Rm – Rf)
■ Rp = average return of portfolio
■ Rf = riskless rate of interest

■ = the intercept
■ = a measure of systematic risk
■ Rm = average market return
❖ represents the forecasting ability of
p
the manager. Then the
equation becomes

Rp – Rf = p + (Rm – Rf)
or
Rp = p + Rf + (Rm – Rf)
