A contingent claim approach to performance evaluation Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Lawrence R. Glosten
Ravi Jagannathan
Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
We show that valuing performance is equivalent to valuing a particular contingent claim on an index portfolio. In general the form of the contingent claim is not known and must be estimated. We suggest approximating the contingent claim by a series of options. We illustrate the use of our method by evaluating the performance of 130 mutual funds during the period 1968–82. We find that the relative performance rank of a fund is rather insensitive to the choice of the index, even though the actual value of the services of the portfolio manager depends on the choice of the index.
