A Rebalancing Act: Rebalancing Quarterly Benchmarks

Posted by David Spaulding - July 23, 2018 - benchmarks, blended benchmarks, Global Investment Performance Standards, Investment Performance Guy, performance measurement, rebalancing quarterly benchmarks

The following question was recently sent to me: suppose a firm uses a blended benchmark that rebalances quarterly… how should they calculate external dispersion? I guess I hadn’t given much thought to the possible challenges with rebalancing quarterly benchmarks, but a solution came to me rather quickly, that I want to share with you. Of course, […]

A Dozen PMAR Secrets Revealed

Posted by David Spaulding - May 6, 2018 - GIPS, GIPS 20/20, Global Investment Performance Standards, Investment Performance Guy, Journal of Performance Measurement, pension funds, performance attribution, performance calculations, performance measurement, Performance measurement conference, PMAR, risk

A thought occurred to me while I was driving to Bethesda, Maryland today (I will be doing a GIPS® verification here tomorrow). Chances are, most performance measurement professionals, even those who’ve attended one or more PMAR (Performance Measurement Attribution & Risk) conferences, may not know certain key things about our conferences. Well, why not let […]

PMAR is the best performance measurement conference, says who? Well, just read some of the comments from attendees and speakers!

Posted by David Spaulding - May 3, 2018 - Investment Performance Guy, performance measurement, PMAR

In a recent blog post  I encouraged readers to compare ours with those others offer. We are confident […]

Some thoughts on GIPS Policies & Procedures

Posted by David Spaulding - April 19, 2018 - GIPS Policies & Procedures, Investment Performance Guy, performance measurement

I never had any ambition to write. In fact, I had little interest in studying English, grammar, or any of its related topics. I was always a “math guy,” and had somehow concluded (falsely, as it turns out) that you can either be good at math or English, but not both. However, upon graduating from […]

Bacon vs. Spaulding: perhaps it was not meant to be …

Posted by David Spaulding - April 3, 2018 - Carl Bacon, Investment Performance Guy, performance measurement

Bacon vs. Spaulding: will it happen? Despite what some may believe, Carl Bacon and I are good friends. We’ve known each other for more than 20 years, have served on committees together, have “broken bread” together on multiple occasions, and have disagreed about a few things. Well, actually, MORE than a few things. And so, […]

What performance measurement tattoo will YOU get?

Posted by David Spaulding - March 3, 2018 - CIPM, Investment Performance Guy, IRR, performance measurement, PMAR

In this weekend’s WSJ there’s an article on companies that are encouraging their employees to get tattoos: Nice Tattoo! I Didn’t Know You Worked at Walmart. I would love to see Patrick, Chris, and Douglas, or John, Ashley and Linda adorn their bodies with The Spaulding Group’s logo [I might even give them a bonus to have it done!]. My […]

Don’t be a “hidden figure” in performance measurement

Posted by David Spaulding - October 23, 2017 - Investment Performance Guy, performance measurement, Performance Measurement Forum, performance professional, PMAR

If you are linked to me on LinkedIn or follow me on Twitter, you’re familiar with this picture: it’s my rendition of Dos Equis’ “Most Interesting Man” promotion. It has been primarily a vehicle to convey a message in a humorous fashion. Well, today, it seemed fitting to use it to present to you 10 […]
