Investment Management Process
Investment PolicyDefinition: It is a formal description of an investment philosophy that may be utilized for any given fund, retirement plan or other investments the investor may want.
How to create an investment policy statement?Purpose: What is the money intended for? Retirement? New house fund? Children’s education? Investment time horizon: When will the money be needed? Asset allocation: Will the portfolio be all stocks or all certificates of deposits or some combination? Rebalancing: How often will you rebalance?
How to create an investment policy statement?Return expectation: This section is optional but if you have an idea of what kind of return you are expecting then write it down. Investments: This section should outline what type of investments are eligible for your portfolio – i.e. large cap stocks on the S&P 500, index funds, and so on.Benchmarks: Another optional section – If you are an active investor then you might choose to measure your portfolio against an appropriate set of stock and bond indexes.
It can be difficult to stick to your original strategy for several reasonsMemory - it’s not easy to remember a strategy that you came up with several months or years ago. Greed and Temptation – if you have a conservative strategy and the market is going straight up then it can be difficult to stay with the original strategy. Losses – tough markets make for tough investing. It’s easy to forget or dismiss your original plan when the going gets rough.
Type of Investor
Retail InvestorIndividual investors who buy and sell securities for their personal account, and not for another company or organization.
Institutional InvestorA non-bank person or organization that trades securities in large enough share quantities or dollar amounts that they qualify for preferential treatment and lower commissions. Institutional investors face fewer protective regulations because it is assumed that they are more knowledgeable and better able to protect themselves.

General Portfolio StrategyPassive Portfolio Strategy:A strategy that involves minimal expectation input, and instead relies on diversification to match the performance of some market index. A passive strategy assumes that the marketplace will reflect all available information in the price paid for securities.Active Portfolio Strategy:A strategy that uses available information and forecasting techniques to seek a better performance than a portfolio that is simply diversified broadly.
Passive Portfolio StrategyBuy and hold    Buy & Hold is forming a portfolio by appropriate allocate the funds, but once in a position, is not concerned with short-term price movements and technical indicators.Indexing     Most of fund manager unable exceed the market performance, therefore, they prefer to bond indexing. In this case, to determine a fund manager success or not is based on the performance both of portfolio and index.

PORTFOLIO EVALUATION
Portfolio EvaluationPortfolio evaluating refers to the evaluation of the performance of the portfolio. It is essentially the process of comparing the return earned on a portfolio with the return earned on one or more other portfolio or on a benchmark portfolio.
Portfolio EvaluationPortfolio evaluating refers to the evaluation of the performance of the portfolio. It is essentially the process of comparing the return earned on a portfolio with the return earned on one or more other portfolio or on a benchmark portfolio.
Portfolio EvaluationPortfolio evaluation essentially comprises of two functions, performance measurement and performance evaluation. Performance measurement is an accounting function which measures the return earned on a portfolio during the holding period or investment period. Performance evaluation , on the other hand, address such issues as whether the performance was superior or inferior, whether the performance was due to skill or luck etc.
Portfolio EvaluationThe ability of the investor depends upon the absorption of latest developments which occurred in the market. The ability of expectations if any, we must able to cope up with the wind immediately.
Portfolio EvaluationInvestment analysts continuously monitor and evaluate the result of the portfolio performance. The expert portfolio constructer shall show superior performance over the market and other factors. The performance also depends upon the timing of investments and superior investment analysts capabilities for selection.
Portfolio EvaluationThe evaluation of portfolio is always followed by revision and reconstruction. The investor will have to assess the extent to which the objectives are achieved. For evaluation of portfolio, the investor shall keep in mind the secured average returns, average or below average as compared to the market situation.
Portfolio EvaluationSelection of proper securities is the first requirement. The evaluation of a portfolio performance can be made based on the following methods:a)    Sharpe’s Measureb)    Treynor’s Measurec)    Jensen’s Measure
Portfolio EvaluationThe objective of modern portfolio theory is maximization of return or minimization of risk. In this context the research studies have tried to evolve a composite index to measure risk based return.
(a) Sharpe’ Measure:Sharpe measures total risk by calculating standard deviation. The method adopted by Sharpe is to rank all portfolios on the basis of evaluation measure.Reward is in the numerator as risk premium. Total risk is in the denominator as standard deviation of its return. We will get a measure of portfolio’s total risk and variability of return in relation to the risk premium.
The measure of a portfolio can be done by the following formula:SI =(Rt – Rf)/σfWhere,SI = Sharpe’s IndexRt = Average return on portfolioRf = Risk free returnσf = Standard deviation of the portfolio return.(a) Sharpe’ Measure:
(b) Treynor’s Measure:The Treynor’s measure related a portfolio’s excess return to non-diversifiable or systematic risk. The Treynor’s measure employs beta. The Treynor based his formula on the concept of characteristic line. It is the risk measure of standard deviation, namely the total risk of the portfolio is replaced by beta.
The equation can be presented as follow:Tn =(Rn – Rf)/βmWhere,  Tn = Treynor’s measure of performanceRn = Return on the portfolioRf  = Risk free rate of returnβm = Beta of the portfolio ( A measure of systematic risk)(b) Treynor’s Measure:
(c) Jensen’s Measure:Jensen attempts to construct a measure of absolute performance on a risk adjusted basis. This measure is based on CAPM model. It measures the portfolio manager’s predictive ability to achieve higher return than expected for the accepted riskiness. The ability to earn returns through successful prediction of security prices on a standard measurement.
The Jensen measure of the performance of portfolio can be calculated by applying the following formula:Rp = Rf + (RMI – Rf) x βWhere,Rp = Return on portfolioRMI = Return on market indexRf = Risk free rate of return(c) Jensen’s Measure:
Types of BenchmarksMarket indices are equity indexes	Ex: Dow Jones Industrial Average, Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite, NASDAQ Composite Index, New York Stock Exchange Composite Index, etcGeneric-Investment-Style Indices – developed by various consulting firms to measures various investment styles	Ex: Frank Russell, Wilshire Associate Prudential Securities, etc
