In this unit, Portfolio Management (EFIM30021) - we will discuss the construction, implementation and evaluation of investment portfolios. An important feature of this topic is that the insights and results we will derive are applicable on any scale. That is, they are equally valid from the perspective of a private investor or that of a multi-billion pound pension or hedge fund manager. In the light of theoretical and empirical results in asset pricing, we will discuss the construction of portfolios of stocks and bonds; derive the techniques used to assess fund manager performance after adjusting for the risk involved in their strategy; and, examine the empirical evidence available on the performance of professional fund managers and understand its limitations.

On completion of this unit, you should be able to:

understand the implications of theoretical and empirical research in asset pricing for real-world investment strategies;
comprehend the issues involved in measuring the performance of professionally managed portfolios - investment funds;
understand how some degree of mispricing can be exploited whilst retaining the key insights of market efficiency;
and, understand models of performance decomposition - that is, how to identify the specific sources of performance of a large and diversified investment portfolio.
