Equity Pension Fund Managers: An Empirical Investigation There are differences in the portfolio characteristics and investment styles among the Earnings Growth, market-oriented, price-driven, and Small Capitalization managers. It is therefore useful to examine performance measures for each investment style separately. Table 11 presents mean values of the performance measures for each style of manager. It also provides the aggregated rank of each group. These ranks do not vary between the models for a given benchmark. However, they do vary somewhat across benchmarks for a given model. The period 1983-1990 was a period in which the overall stock market was up substantially. For the eight years, the Russell 3000 grew at an annualized rate of and the s&p 500 grew at a 15 60% rate. For the majority of this period (up until the end of 1988) the value investment style was favored by the market relative to other investment styles. Our analog of this style is the price-driven index which grew at an annualized rate of This compares to the growth investment style (represented by the Earnings Growth index) which grew at a rate, and the Small Capitalization style (represented by the Russell 2000 index) which grew at a rate. In Table II we see that, using the broad stock market indices as benchmarks, a negative mean selectivity value is consistently observed for the growth and small capitalization managers. This is consistent with the preference of the stock market for the period. However, if we look at the Style Index as a benchmark, we see that these managers (as well all other styles) have positive selectivity values. Thus, while we observe a positive mean selectivity value across All Managers for each benchmark, it does appear to make a difference which benchmark portfolio is used (and, perhaps, which time period) when we move to the level of investment style.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines whether pension plans achieved satisfactory investment results when compared to conventional market indexes. It also covers the impact of factors such as risk, turnover and investment allocation policy on performance. . . . Pension plan managers and accountants who audit or advise them will be most interested in obtaining this book, as will academics doing research on pension plan performance. Journal of Accountancy The authors argue that the principle causes of the poor performance record of pension plan investments are frequent portfolio reallocations and high turnover. They show that these twin strategies act more to incur unnecessary costs than to enhance profits. They proceed to develop a new concept for pension fund diversification, one that will achieve the goals the present strategies have failed to achieve. Must reading for pension fund executives, corporate money managers, and bank trust officers, this book is also a significant addition to the finance and investing curriculum.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper combines the use of portfolio holdings data and conditioning information to create a new performance measure. Our conditional weight-based measure has several advantages. Using conditioning information avoids biases in weight-based measures as discussed by Grinblatt and Titman (1993). When conditioning information is used, returns-based measures face a bias if managers can trade between observation dates. The new measures avoid this interim trading bias. We use the new measures to provide fresh insights about performance in a sample of U.S. equity pension fund managers

Download or read book Evaluating the Financial Performance of Pension Funds written by Richard Hinz and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2010-01-14 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countries around the world are increasingly relying on individual pension savings accounts to provide income in old age for their citizens. Although these funds have now been in place for several decades, their performance is usually measured using methods that are not meaningful in relation to this long-term objective. The recent global financial crisis has highlighted the need to develop better performance evaluation methods that are consistent with the retirement income objective of pension funds. Compiling research derived from a partnership among the World Bank, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and three private partners, 'Evaluating the Financial Performance of Pension Funds' discusses the theoretical basis and key implementation issues related to the design of performance benchmarks based on life-cycle savings and investment principles. The book begins with an evaluation of the financial performance of funded pension systems using the standard mean variance framework. It then provides a discussion of the limitations inherent to applying these methods to pension funds and outlines the many other issues that should be addressed in developing more useful and meaningful performance measures through the formulation of pension-specific benchmark portfolios. Practical implementation issues are addressed through empirical examples of how such benchmarks could be developed. The book concludes with commentary and observations from several noted pension experts about the need for a new approach to performance measurement and the impact of the recent global financial crisis on pension funds.
