80/20 Portfolio AnalysisJune 2014 FOR ADVISOR USE ONLY
Correlation Matrix • Correlation greater than 0.80 indicates a strong relationship between returns of the assets July 1, 2013 – June 30, 2014
Annual Performance Since Inception, the portfolio has outpaced the benchmark by 18%
Calendar Performance The portfolio has historically outperformed the benchmark on a rolling 1 year return basis, however, the benchmark has closed the gap, surging since the beginning of 2014.
Risk-Adjusted Return Analysis The benchmark’s strong performance YTD has resulted in its Sharpe ratio pulling slightly ahead of the portfolio.
Glossary Asset Allocation The description of the way in which the assets in question are distributed (allocated) across the types of assets (investments) included in a portfolio. Benchmark A standard index used for measuring the performance of an investment. Beta A measure of volatility. If a fund has a beta of 1, then it has the same volatility as its benchmark index. If a fund has a Beta higher than 1, it is moving up and down more than the rest of the market. A fund with a beta of 2 will move up 20% when the market rises 10% Correlation A statistical measure of how two securities move in relation to each other. Perfect positive correlation (a correlation co-efficient of +1) implies that as one security moves, either up or down, the other security will move in lockstep, in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if one security moves in either direction the security that is perfectly negatively correlated will move in the opposite direction. Downside Deviation A measure of downside risk that focuses on returns that fall below a minimum threshold or minimum acceptable return (MAR). Investors are generally more concerned with negative divergences than positive ones, i.e. downside risk is a bigger concern. Downside deviation resolves this issue by focusing only on downside risk. Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) ETFs or Exchange Traded Funds are low-cost Index Funds that trade like stocks. ETFs can be bought or sold when the stock market is open for trading. ETFs can be sold short, leveraged with margin, hedged with call or put options or bought and held
Glossary Fundamental Indexing A methodology aimed at linking the composition of an index to underlying fundamental factors (as opposed to “defaulting” to market capitalization weighting). In a fundamental index, the weights assigned to the securities comprising the index are a function of how each security scores on the fundamental criteria in question. Research Affiliates Fundamental Indexing makes use of cash dividends (5 Yr average), free cash flow, total sales (5 Yr average), and book equity value (current period book value). Management Expense Ratio The expense ratio of a mutual fund or ETF covers the cost of investment management, legal and administrative expenses. The expense ratio does not include the cost of acquiring a fund, such as commissions or sales loads, and it’s expressed as a percentage of the fund’s average daily net assets. Management Fee The compensation perceived by a money manager for his/her services in managing/administering investments Sharpe Ratio The Sharpe ratio tells us whether a portfolio's returns are due to smart investment decisions or a result of excess risk. This measurement is very useful because although one portfolio or fund can reap higher returns than its peers, it is only a good investment if those higher returns do not come with too much additional risk. The greater a portfolio's Sharpe ratio, the better its risk-adjusted performance has been. Standard deviation Standard deviation is a statistical measurement that sheds light on historical volatility. For example, a volatile stock will have a high standard deviation while the deviation of a stable blue chip stock will be lower. A large dispersion tells us how much the return on the fund is deviating from the expected normal returns Volatility Volatility is determined by the price movement (rise or fall) of a security. Securities that experience sharp increases or declines within a short time frame are considered more volatile than those that don’t.
