A DEEPER LOOK AT EVALUATING INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE • Top performing money managers typically beat not only their comparative style index but also exhibit above median performance in their peer group for longer periods (i.e. 5 years+). • Active managers should not be expected to outperform in every month, quarter, or year. However, persistent underperformance (i.e. 5 years+) should warrant concern and a re-investigation of the manager’s process, philosophy and people. • As of 6/30/08, SLPSRS engaged 6 traditional managers with below-median peer returns for the trailing 5 years. These managers oversee a combined $197 million under management.* Three of the six underperformed more than 70% of their peers in that timeframe. *Source: PSRS Investment “Flash” Report, dated 6/30/08 and PSN. Past performance is not indicative of future performance.
WORST CASE SCENARIOS • Six of the equity managers (totaling $197 million in assets) have below median performance for the 5 years ending 6/30/08. • Using only those manager’s returns and calculating the difference between their returns and the return of the median of each manager’s peer group, the dollar return differential was $9 million over 5 years. *Source: PSRS Investment “Flash” Report, dated 6/30/08 and PSN. Past performance is not indicative of future performance.
