Controlling Misfit Risk in Multiple-Manager I

by Jeffery V. Bailey

Controlling Misfit Risk in Multiple-Manager Investment Programs is a practical, instructive guide which offers a solution to a challenge more and more institutions are facing-misfit risk. When a sponsor uses several managers for one asset class, style biases can cause the sponsor's managers in aggregate to underperform the target despite each individual manager performing well against the manager's benchmark. In this volume, the authors provide a straightforward analytical framework for evaluating and treating this potentially costly misfit problem.

The cutting edge of style management

Serious reading for investment professionals working with multiple manager funds. Unlike other publications e.g. The Handbook of Equity Style Management or Style Investing, this work provides a cohesive and mathematically rigid approach to the quantitative management of multiple manager programs. Inside you will find an introduction to the concept of investment style, a review of investment manager style classification methods as well as an excellent development of dynamic completeness fund methodologies for managing risk in multiple manager funds. Although the focus of the book is the management of misfit risk, I would have liked to see more on the considerations and factors to take into account when structuring a multiple manager program e.g. quantitative models of diversification benefits and mean-variance efficiency which would govern the style allocation decision as well as the optimal number of managers to be used within each style etc. Essential and extremely valuable reading!
