Xuzen, when using Modigliani, which figure do you use for the standard deviation of the benchmark portfolio. Or a more accurate question would be, what should our benchmark portfolio be? Do we track the KLSE? And normally how long is the time frame for period that you select to calculate the ratio?
Sta-Dev of benchmark usually not easy to find, however, Pub-Mut, despite my criticism, has a very good internal data that, unfortunately less than 1% of UTC knows or will ever use it.
I get the Benchmark Sta-Dev from their internal data which they update quarterly to calculate Modigliani. It is only given to UTC and I bet if you ask any regular Pub-Mut UTC, they will give you a blank look. Even finding someone who knows what is a Sharpe is difficult. The data supplied by Pub-Mut is 3 years annualised. That is what you get when Pub-Mut decided to do UT biz like MLM style.
At first I wanted to write how I do the pay-out for my client, but I decided not too... called it trade secret, something for me to keep on cari-makan.
Actually it goes along the line of Pink Spider's line of thinking with some minor tweeks here and there.
J.passing.by, it is not so complicated.
