Basics of Risk Risk Tolerance The degree of uncertainty that an investor can handle in regard to a negative change in the value of his or her portfolio. Risk Capacity Financial risk capacity can be measured in many different ways, including time horizon, liquidity, wealth and income. People who have a high liquidity requirement (they could need access to their money at any time) are constrained to how much risk they can take.

Money weighted return MWR Calculating returns Money weighted return MWR A measure of the overall return on capital invested over a specific period may include allowance for income introduced or withdrawn Private Wealth Management Deutsche Bank Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference
V0= value at the start of the portfolio Money Weighted return R= D+V1-V0 V0 R= rate of return V0= value at the start of the portfolio V1=value of the portfolio at the end of the period D= income during the period Private Wealth Management Deutsche Bank Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference
Income (generated) paid out £1,000 £1,000 + £28,000 - £25,000 £25,000 Money Weighted Return V0= £25,000 V1= £28,000 Income (generated) paid out £1,000 £1,000 + £28,000 - £25,000 £25,000 =0.16 MWR=16% Private Wealth Management Deutsche Bank Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference
Money Weighted Return (income withdrawn/added) MWR= D+V1-V0- C V0+(C x n/12) Where N is the number of months C = Cashflow Private Wealth Management Deutsche Bank Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference
Money Weighted Return (income added and withdrawn) V0= £20,000 V1= £24,000 £3,000 invested in 3rd month £2,000 withdrawn in 9th month £3,000 - £2,000=£1,000 = 24,000 - 20,000 -1,000 20,000+ (3,000x9/12)+(-2,000x3/12) =0.1379 13.79% Private Wealth Management Deutsche Bank Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference
Time weighted return The time-weighted rate of return is the preferred industry standard as it is not sensitive to contributions or withdrawals. It is defined as the compounded growth rate of £1 over the period being measured. The time-weighted formula is essentially a geometric mean of a number of holding-period returns that are linked together or compounded over time (thus, time-weighted). The holding-period return, or HPR, (rate of return for one period) is computed using this formula: Private Wealth Management Deutsche Bank Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference
Time weighted return Eliminates distortions caused by timing of new money Breaking down the return for a particular period Reflects sub periods of withdrawn/added cash Compounding sub periods to get overall return Private Wealth Management Deutsche Bank Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference
1+R = (1 +r1)(1+r2)(1+r3).......(1+rn) Simple Approach to TWR 1+R = (1 +r1)(1+r2)(1+r3).......(1+rn) R=TWR r1=holding period n= sub periods Private Wealth Management Deutsche Bank Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference
Alpha and Beta Private Wealth Management Deutsche Bank Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference
BETA A measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the market as a whole. Beta is used in the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), a model that calculates the expected return of an asset based on its beta and expected market returns. Private Wealth Management Deutsche Bank Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference
BETA 0.5 Beta lower volatile than market 1.0 market performance 1.5 market outperformance/underperformance Historical data Private Wealth Management Deutsche Bank Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference
Alpha Sharpe Ratio Information Ratio Risk adjusted returns Private Wealth Management Deutsche Bank Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference
Alpha A measure of performance on a risk-adjusted basis. Alpha takes the volatility (price risk) of a security(stock) and compares its risk-adjusted performance to a benchmark index. Difference between what you would expect from a security b and the actual return Cannot be explained by general market movements Private Wealth Management Deutsche Bank Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference

Demonstration of Alpha Fund A 12% 4% 10% 1.2 12- [4+1.2(10-4)] =0.8% Fund B 10% 4% 0.8 10- [4+0.8(10-4)] =1.2% Private Wealth Management Deutsche Bank Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference
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. A variation of the Sharpe ratio is the Sortino ratio, which removes the effects of upward price movements on standard deviation to measure only return against downward price volatility. Private Wealth Management Deutsche Bank Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference
Interpreting Sharpe Ratio The greater a portfolio's Sharpe ratio, the better its risk-adjusted performance has been. A negative Sharpe ratio indicates that a risk-less asset would perform better than the security being analyzed Portfolio return 10% Risk free return 4% SD 8% Sharpe= 10 – 4 8 0.75% return over the risk free rate for each unit of risk taken Private Wealth Management Deutsche Bank Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference
Assess risk adjusted performance Information Ratio Assess risk adjusted performance Used to demonstrate consistency of beating benchmark index IR= Ra –Rb Tracking error Ra = portfolio return Rb = benchmark return Private Wealth Management Deutsche Bank Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference
Manager B has returns of 8% and tracking error of 4.5% Information Ratio IR A high IR can be achieved by having a high return in the portfolio, a low return of the index and a low tracking error. For example: Manager A might have returns of 13% and a tracking error of 8% Manager B has returns of 8% and tracking error of 4.5% The index has returns of -1.5% Private Wealth Management Deutsche Bank Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference
Manager B had lower returns but a better information ratio Manager A's IR = [13-(-1.5)]/8 = 1.81 Manager B's IR = [8-(-1.5)]/4.5 = 2.11 Manager B had lower returns but a better IR. A high ratio means a manager can achieve higher returns more efficiently than one with a low ratio by taking on additional risk.

Long term view Asset Allocation Is the Key The belief has its origins in a study by Brinson, Hood and Beebower entitled "Determinants of Portfolio Performance" (Financial Analysts Journal, July/August Issue, 1986). The study concluded that 93.6% of the variation of returns in a diversified portfolio is explained by the asset allocation policy. The key term here is "diversified", but we will address that in a moment. Private Wealth Management Deutsche Bank Simon Brennan PFS London Regional Conference
'Strategic Asset Allocation’ A portfolio strategy that involves periodically rebalancing the portfolio in order to maintain a long-term goal for asset allocation. 'Tactical Asset Allocation - TAA’ An active management portfolio strategy that rebalances the percentage of assets held in various categories in order to take advantage of market pricing anomalies or strong market sectors. Dynamic Asset Allocation‘ ‘Dynamic Asset Allocation’ A portfolio management strategy that involves rebalancing a portfolio so as to bring the asset mix back to its long-term target. Such rebalancing would generally involve reducing positions in the best-performing asset class, while adding to positions in underperforming assets. The general premise of dynamic asset allocation is to reduce the fluctuation risks and achieve returns that exceed the target benchmark.
