The manager will be evaluated by comparing her returns to the return on the MSCI World Market Portfolio, but she is free to hold stocks from various countries in whatever proportions she finds desirable. Results for a given month are contained in the following table: 13 points Country U.K. Japan U.S. Germany Weight In MSCI Index 0.22 0.35 0.38 0.05 Manager's Weight 0.44 0.23 0.29 0.04 Manager's Return in Country 21% 14 10 6 Return of Stock Index for That Country 13% 14 12 13 Skipped a. Calculate the total value added of all the manager's decisions this period. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.) eBook Added value % Print References b. Calculate the value added (or subtracted) by her country allocation decisions. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.) Contribution of country allocation % c. Calculate the value added from her stock selection ability within countries. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.) Contribution of stock selection %
| a.Total value added of all the manager's decisions, this period |
| sum (Manager's wt.*Mgr.'s Return in that country)-Sum (MSCI index wt*Index return for the country) |
| ie. |
| Sum (Manager's wt*Mgr.'s Return in that country) |
| (0.44*21%)+(0.23*14%)+(0.29*10%)+(0.04*6%)= |
| 15.60% |
| Sum (MSCI index wt*Index return for the country) |
| (0.22*13%)+(0.35*14%)+(0.38*12%)+(0.05*13%)= |
| 12.97% |
| Total Value added of all the manager's decisions=15.60%-12.97%= |
| 2.63% |
| b.Value added/(subtracted) by her Country allocation decision |
| Sum(Diff.in wts.allocation for that country*Stock Index return for that country) |
| ie.((0.44-0.22)*13%)+((0.23-0.35)*14%)+((0.29-0.38)*12%)+((0.04-0.05)*13%)= |
| -0.03% |
| d.Value added/(subtracted) by her stock selection within countries |
| Sum(Diff.in that country's stock returns*Mgr.'s wt. for that stock) |
| ie((21%-13%)*0.44)+((14%-14%)*0.23)+((10%-12%)*0.29)+((6%-13%)*0.04)= |
| 2.66% |
| Value (subtracted) by her Country allocation decision+Value added by stock selection=Total Value added of all the manager's decisions |
| ie. -0.03%+2.66%= |
| 2.63% |
