Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Within the framework of asset management, the analysis of the investment performance of a portfolio is a central, challenging and responsible task as (risk-adjusted) performance is one of the key determinants of an asset manager's product quality.

Once investment performance has been measured using a suitable performance measure, contribution analysis helps to break performance down to individual portfolio positions, arbitrary groups of positions (ratings, countries, etc.) or down to the strategy-level.

If portfolios are managed against a benchmark, performance attribution analysis explains the reasons for particular out- or underperformance, i.e. the excess return.

The aim of this course is to familiarize students with the aforementioned central topics of performance analysis as well as with other related topics such as benchmarking, the design or calculation of performance-related fee structures, external performance analysis, risk-adjusted performance measurement or Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS).

The topics are first explained by the lecturer from a theoretical point of view and then discussed with the students on the basis of practical examples and case studies. Students are expected to participate actively in virtual classroom discussion.

The course will be held in English. Please note that due to the COVID-19 pandemic no physical presence will be required. Lectures will be held in moodle within BBB-meeting rooms.
