PRE-CONFERENCE MASTER CLASS- TUESDAY 10th NOVEMBER Registration: 8:40am Workshop timings: 9:00 am - 4:00 pm (Morning Coffee, Lunch & afternoon tea will be provided) Returns & Risk: A Deep Dive Generational Analysis This class will provide a detailed survey of the major rate of return, risk, and risk-adjusted measures, but from a generational perspective. This will allow the students to understand the development of measures in all three areas, as well as to be able to compare the meaningfulness, accuracy, and appropriateness of the results. It will also serve as a vehicle for their own evaluation of their firm s measures. Rate of return measures to be reviewed include Modified Dietz, Modified BAI, and Exact; while the risk measures to be covered will include standard deviation, downside deviation, tracking error, and beta. Risk-adjusted measures covered will include Sharpe ratio, Information ratio, Jensen s alpha, and M-squared. The rate-of-return section will also include comparisons with money-weighted returns, and a review of multi-period calculations (i.e., deriving cumulative and annualized returns). We ll also spend time contrasting the various cash flow treatment methods, touching on the strengths and shortcomings of each. We will use the same examples throughout the class, so that students can see how the data can be transformed into meaningful and comparable statistics. The workshop will include exercises so students will have the opportunity to learn firsthand how the measures work. As with the data to be used for the demonstrations, exercises will use the same data, too, so students will build upon what they learn. We will explore the various return and risk measures that have been employed, from a generational perspective, in order to see how we ve progressed in their development. The good and the bad of each will be highlighted. Participants will have a greater understanding of these techniques, how they rank and compare, and be able to better assess how their own organization stands vis-à-vis such a review Workshop Leader: David D.

While the asset management industry is expected to see significant growth, the asset management value chain is undergoing significant disruption. Asset structuring, investment management, investment management service and consulting, and distribution entities will see increased competition from established technology companies and new start-ups. New competition across each component of the value chain, big data implementations and innovations in multi asset class analytics will enable greater transparency, causing clients to be less reliant, and as a result pay lower fees to traditional asset management product and service providers. To embrace this inevitable change, the asset management industry must become more technologically advanced as well as adopt a culture that attracts and retains talent that is focused on innovation.
