Investment decisions are continuously reviewed to quantify how much value they add. These decisions may range from strategic asset allocations to sector bets in the global equity portfolio. Our Performance Measurement and Attribution solutions for Pension Funds, Insurance Companies, and Sovereign Wealth Funds capture all asset classes and strategies by a wide range of attribution models. This helps our clients to explain the sources of excess return as well as the impact of their investments on funding ratio or solvency levels. For these solutions we use PEARL, our acclaimed attribution model.
Enhance your performance by mastering the complexity of investment decision making
The dynamic TAA overlay program run by the asset allocation team, ESG-based exclusions, Best-in-class ESG implementation by the global equity manager, hedging exposures by the currency overlay manager or the high yield pushed for by the fixed income manager – all these decisions have the intention to add value and need to be evaluated accordingly. Our attribution model PEARL, combined with our team of highly qualified specialists, gives our clients an efficient tool to get valuable insights into all these investment decisions, while facing the growing complexity of their investment strategies.
Valuable Insights
The ultimate goal of performance attribution should be to obtain a consistent view of the added value and risk of each investment decision in relation to your objective. This objective may be future pension liabilities, a sound solvency level or a target return. Only then will performance reports provide valuable information; not only to be in control and to explain every single step in the investment decision process to stakeholders, but also as the best possible starting point to improve investment decisions.
