3 Efficient frontier (EF) modeling is an intuitive, convenient way to capture the incremental trade-offs between object combinations in the two dimensional space of risk and return. TODAY S DISCUSSION Traditional Mean-Variance EFs and Concepts Other Topical Uses of EFs EF Modeling Input EF Modeling Challenges Practical Limitations and Taming the Optimizer SOA Use of EF in SAA.ppt 2
4 EFs are classically used to in a mean-variance context to create optimal portfolios of assets as defined by the highest level of portfolio return at a given level of standard deviation of portfolio return. TRADITIONAL MEAN-VARIANCE EFs We can combine assets together in optimal portfolios using our assumptions for risk, return, and correlation. The Efficient Frontier represents all combinations of assets that maximize return for a given the level of risk (optimal). Portfolio combinations below or to the right of the efficient frontier are dominated by more efficient portfolios along the frontier SOA Use of EF in SAA.ppt Source: Investopedia.com, Cardinal Investment Advisors Analysis 3
5 Annualized Rate of Return Annualized Rate of Return EFs can be very sensitive to the componentry of which they are comprised. EXPANDING/CONTRACTING THE FRONTIER Diversification with new assets can expand the efficient frontier and add value in one of two fashions: 1. Generating incremental return in the portfolio at the same level of risk. 2. Reducing portfolio risk without sacrificing return. Illustrative Return Gain from New Asset Classes Illustrative Risk Reduction from New Asset Classes Return Gain Frontier with existing assets With new asset classes Current allocation With new asset classes Risk Reduction Frontier with existing assets With new asset classes Current allocation With new asset classes Risk % (Standard Deviation of Annual Returns) Risk % (Standard Deviation of Annual Returns) SOA Use of EF in SAA.ppt Source: Cardinal Investment Advisors Analysis 4

HARNESSING DIVERSIFICATION VIA EFs 14% 12% 10% Risk/Return of Efficient Portfolio Combinations Unconstrained Frontier The inverse correlation of the assets creates higher returns at lower risk than a simple linear combination of the assets. 8% Current Target 6% 4% 2% 0% 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% Risk (Annual Standard Deviation - %) Adding new, potential asset classes to the mix will only improve those efficiencies as long as the correlations are less than SOA Use of EF in SAA.ppt Source: Cardinal Investment Advisors, ProVal 5

9 Excess Return (Over PBO Liability Return - %) EFs are frequently used to capture other concepts of risk vs. return, or cost vs. benefit tradeoffs. Excess return vs. a liability is one.

TIPS enter immediately due low correlations. The 10% max binds initially with allocations declining as correlation is offset by low returns. Real estate is prominent along the frontier as a high income diversifier Domestic and non-us equity s low correlation to core bonds pulls the asset into the frontier almost immediately. Commodities high expected returns drive it to the max limit as it quickly dominates hedge funds, REITs etc. The incremental yield pickup of Long Gov/Credit drive a max allocation early in the frontier SOA Use of EF in SAA.ppt 21
