Exam Question April 2006 Q5 - Performance Attribution

Hi there

I am trying to work out how the examiners have performed the attribution analysi sis the solutions.

I have managed to replicate all nnumbers in aa columns in the solution except the last 2:

Alt Return - not sure what this is supposed to represent
Stock - I don't see how there should be 2 columns for stock (I have replicated the first stock column)

Can anyone help?

Also I have not used the inceom in period data given in the question or the cash component. I assume it is included in the question for a reason.

Thanks in advance

John

Hi
This is a tough question for us tutors to answer because the question is very long and detailed. Obviously we have put our thoughts down in the ASET which I think explains it, but it would take me a while to go through the method in this forum I am afraid.
Sorry - hope you get there. It is a V dificult attribution question.
 
I don't have the asset for this exam. It only goes back as far as 2008. Can you not just tell me what the terms stand for?

Hi, I have had a look at the Acted ASET and we have not replicated these columns. Nor are they present in any other attribution question. So I have no idea I am afraid. There is a "stock" column earlier, which is the stock selection profit, but I dont know what the later one is.
