Tailoring Manager Allocation to Market Conditions Using Alpha Optimization: Part 1
$25
The assessment of a manager’s performance against his/her benchmark and peers is a mainstay of manager search and selection. Such assessments assume that a manager’s performance history is informative as to the probability of future out performance. However, a wealth of analysis has shown that the auto-correlation of manager returns is generally very low across styles and time periods. In this paper, we extend alpha optimization into a manager selection framework.
