Expert Solution

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%
