Influencing factors: market structure, liquidity of component securities, liquidity of ETFs

Annualized standard deviation of daily tracking difference
Influencing factors
Rates, index changes
tax issue
tax fairness
tax effectiveness
trading risk
counterparty risk
fund closures
investor-related risk
multifactor model
arbitrary pricing theory
cross-sectional data
equilibrium model
More flexible than CAPM, with fewer assumptions and compensation for multiple risk factors
multifactor model
time series data
regression model
No assumptions, but no economic explanation
portfolio construction
return attribution
active return = Rp-Rb
security selection return = active return - factor return
risk attribution
active factor risk
active specific risk
passive management
Matching the risk exposure of the index using a multi-factor model
Active management

VaR

In a given period, under a given probability, the minimum loss

Other methods
sensitivity
scenario risk measure
historical scenario
Disadvantages: History does not necessarily repeat itself
hypothetical scenarios
Disadvantages: Too subjective
Market risk management
risk budgeting
Risk allocation after determining acceptable total risk
position limits
Limit the weight or position of a single asset in a portfolio
scenario limits
Loss limits for a given scenario
stop-loss limits
Reduce risk exposure if losses exceed a certain level during a specific period
Discount rate composition
framework
true risk-free rate of return
Intertemporal substitution rate, m
m=Ut/U0
As wealth increases, marginal utility decreases
When the economic situation improves, m is lower
Multi-period default-free bond prices
P = risk neutral PV covariance term
Usually covariance term<0, asset return>Rf
In extremely bad economic situations, the covariance term may be >0
relationship with GDP
GDP growth rate↑, real risk-free rate of return↑
GDP volatility↑, real risk-free rate of return↑
nominal risk-free rate θ: inflation π: Compensation for inflation fluctuations
BEI=θ π, short-term π=0
yield curve
The inverted yield curve illustrates the possibility of economic recession
The yield curve reappears upward or becomes steeper, indicating that the economy is in a recession
national debt
Short-term Treasuries perform better in recessions
During an economic recession, national debt has the characteristics of consumption hedging.
credit spread credit spread
During a recession, spread increases and bonds with higher ratings perform better.
Coming out of recession, spread decreases and corporate bonds outperform Treasuries
When the economy is bad, credit bonds perform badly
Stock-Related Risk Compensation
bad hedge for bad consumption outcomes
When the economy expands, P/E increases
When the economy expands, investment style should shift to growth/small-cap/cyclical
When coming out of recession, investment style should shift to value/small-cap/cyclical
Liquidity risk compensation

information ratio
To measure the investment ability of a fund manager, the bigger the better
IR = Ra/σRa = (Rp-Rb)/σ(Rp-Rb)
break down
The higher the IR, the greater the active return brought by unit active risk, and the better the fund manager’s investment ability.
Active weight does not affect IR, adding cash or leverage affects IR
Improve IR pathways
Improve forecast accuracy
Increase the number of independent predictions
Trade on the unlimited market
Compare sharpe ratio
Cash/leverage does not affect SR
Build the optimal combination
Optimal SR
SRp^2=SRb^IR^2

IC
information coefficient,predictive ability
TC
transfer coefficient, the ability to convert predictions into active weights
BR
Number of independent forecasts per year
full fundamental law
Model limitations
bias in measurement of ex-ante IC
Not a completely independent prediction
