Morningstar ratings do not reliably predict future fund performance. Funds with 5-star ratings from 2006 tended to underperform relative to lower-rated funds in subsequent years. Similarly, high Sharpe ratios from 2002-2006 did not correlate with strong performance in later periods. Past performance also generally failed to persist - top-performing funds from 1997-2006 often underperformed in 2007-2011 compared to benchmarks like the S&P 500 index. Across large and small value funds, most previous top performers went on to trail their respective Russell index in the following 5-10 years. Star ratings, risk-adjusted returns, and prior raw returns all showed little predictive power regarding future mutual fund success.
The document discusses strategies for transitioning from the retirement accumulation stage to the retirement income stage. It introduces the 3-7-5 strategy which involves identifying three levels of retirement expenses, seven sources of retirement income, and five options for improving income. The strategy is illustrated through a hypothetical example of a retired couple, Ken and Patty, and how their retirement income sources could be reallocated to better match their expenses. The key steps are analyzing anticipated retirement expenses versus income and developing recommendations to enhance income through options like working longer or adjusting investments.
This document discusses evidence that active management and stock selection can still provide opportunities to generate excess returns compared to index funds. It presents analysis showing that the top performing active managers in large cap core funds significantly outperformed the Russell 1000 index over the past 10 years, including during downturns. Manager selection is also important, as the top quartile of managers provided average annual alpha of over 10% compared to bottom quartile managers over the past 6 years. Additionally, selecting the top performing stocks compared to bottom performing stocks within sectors provided potential excess returns of up to 15% per year over the past 20 years. Therefore, the author argues investors should not abandon active management and instead focus on hiring managers with strong stock selection capabilities.
The document provides an overview of Sallie Mae's business fundamentals and financial outlook. It discusses that Sallie Mae has:
1) Strong fundamentals in student lending, competitive scale, and assured FFELP profits through 2010.
2) Adequate liquidity to meet debt obligations and unlimited funding for new FFELP loans through 2009/2010.
3) Expanding deposit funding and $20 billion in expected FFELP originations for 2008/2009.
4) Private loan originations increased despite economic challenges, with improving credit quality in recent vintages.
During this presentation, Davis Advisors' investment professionals provide insights from famous investors like Benjamin Graham and Shelby Davis. They discuss how avoiding emotional reactions, understanding market crises are inevitable, not trying to time the market, and being patient have helped long-term investors succeed despite periods of uncertainty and volatility. Historical data is presented showing the benefits of these principles over time.

× Fat tailsin returns not modeled
× Covariation of returns assumed linear, cannot handle optionality
× Single period investment horizon (arithmetic mean)
× Risk measured by volatility
× These limitations largely due to the flaw of averages
× Standard deviation is an average of squared deviations
× Correlation in an average of comovements

30. Why the Kelly Criterion Works
Cumulative Probability Distribution after Reinvesting 12 Times
31. Measuring Risk with VaR & CVaR
× Value at Risk (VaR) describes the tail in terms of how much capital
can be lost over a given period of time
× A 5% VaR answers a question of the form
× Having invested 10,000 euros, there is a 5% chance of losing
X euros in T months. What is X?
× Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) is the expected loss of capital should
VaR be breached
× CVaR>VaR
× VaR & CVaR depend on the investment horizon
32. Value-at-Risk (VaR)
VaR identifies the return at a specific point (e.g. 1st or 5th percentile)
Worst 1st Percentile Worst 5th Percentile
99% of all returns are better 95% of all returns are better
1% of all returns are worse 5% of all returns are worse
33. Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR)
CVaR identifies the probability weighted return of the entire tail
Worst 5th Percentile
95% of all returns are better
5% of all returns are worse
34. CVaR vs. VaR
Notice that different return distributions can have the same VaRs,
but different CVaRs
Worst 5th Percentile
95% of all returns are better
5% of all returns are worse
36. The Spirit of the Markowitz 2.0 Framework
× Go beyond traditional definition of good (expected return) and bad
(variance)
× Use any definition of good
× Use any definition of bad
× Use any distributional assumptions (parametric or non-parametric)
37. Building A Better Optimizer
