SEPARATING MARKET DRIVERS OF PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE FROM MANAGER SKILL
An Arbitrage Pricing Theory based model can help separate the influence of market drivers from manager skill
Results show that the fund exhibits statistically insignificant sensitivity to majority of risk factors. Only exceptions are the US
dollar and EM Local debt.
Combining alpha estimate with total performance shows that out of cumulative performance of 9.57% since July 2010, around
9.26% was generated by factors unrelated to market drivers.

SEPARATING MARKET DRIVERS OF PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE FROM MANAGER SKILL
In 1976, Ross proposed a model based on the principle of valuing assets through arbitrage theory (called APT)
In portfolio performance assessment setting, the APT model can be deployed to understand the portfolio’s sensitivity to relevant
risk factors, in order to separate out the split between systematic and skill-based components.
Overall, the APT model postulates that a linear relationship exists between realised returns of the assets and the k factors
common to those assets or
𝑅𝑖𝑡 = 𝐸 𝑅𝑖 + 𝑏𝑖𝑘𝐹𝑘𝑡
𝐾
𝑘=1
+ ℰ𝑖𝑡
Where :
𝑅𝑖𝑡 = rate of return for asset i;
𝐸 𝑅𝑖 = expected return for asset i;
𝑏𝑖𝑘 = sensitivity of asset i to factor k;
𝐹𝑘𝑡 = return of factor k;
ℰ𝑖𝑡 = residual return of asset i, which is not explained by factors, with E(ℰ𝑖𝑡) = 0.
Results shown are based on estimating the above shown equation

LOIM disclaimer & Legal Notice
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Where the fund is denominated in a currency other than an
investor's base currency, changes in the rate of exchange may have an adverse effect on price and income. All
performance figures reflect the reinvestment of interest and dividends and do not take account the commissions and costs
incurred on the issue and redemption of shares/units; performance figures are estimated and unaudited. Net performance
shows the performance net of fees and expenses for the relevant fund/share class over the reference period. Source of
the figures: Unless otherwise stated, figures are prepared by LOIM. Any benchmarks/indices cited herein are provided for
information purposes only. No benchmark/index is directly comparable to the investment objectives, strategy or universe
of a fund. The performance of a benchmark shall not be indicative of past or future performance of any fund. It should not
be assumed that the relevant fund will invest in any specific securities that comprise any index, nor should it be
understood to mean that there is a correlation between such fund’s returns and any index returns. The portfolio
information provided in this document is for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to be recommendation of an
investment in, or a comprehensive statement of all of the factors or considerations which may be relevant to an investment
in, the referenced securities. They illustrate the investment process undertaken by the manager in respect of a certain
type of investment, but may not be representative of the Fund's past or future portfolio of investments as a whole and it
should be understood that they will not of themselves be sufficient to give a clear and balanced view of the investment
process undertaken by the manager or of the composition of the investment portfolio of the Fund. As the case my be,
further information regarding the calculation methodology and the contribution of each holding in the representative
account to the overall account’s performance can be obtained by the Fund or the Management Company.
