问题如下:
McMahon performs a sector
attribution analysis based on Exhibit 1 to explain the large-cap portfolio’s underperformance
relative to the benchmark.
Using a sector attribution analysis based on Exhibit 1, which US
large-cap sector is the primary contributor to the portfolio’s underperformance
relative to the benchmark?
选项:
A.Utilities
Consumer staples
Information technology
解释:
Below is the attribution analysis for selected sectors of the US
large-cap portfolio.
Based on this analysis, the US large-cap portfolio’s information
technology sector is the primary contributor to the portfolio’s disappointing
equity returns because it provided the largest negative differential relative
to the benchmark, with a differential of –0.04%. Although the information technology
sector had a positive return, this sector was underweighted relative to the
benchmark, resulting in a negative contribution to the portfolio’s returns.
老师你好,我的思路是否正确:问哪个sector对underperformance的贡献最大,只需要计算这两类sectors:1)sector return为正,但权重买少了;2)sector return为负,但比benchmark买多了。因为最终结果都为负值。如果问outperformance的话,就用类似的逻辑,只找return为正的sectors。不需要每个sector都计算一遍。谢谢。
