Portfolio Risk Attribution
$25
This article discusses the importance of matching the risk attribution model to the investment process. Methodologies are presented for decomposing risk in one of several ways: at the security level and at the sector level in terms of allocation effect and selection effect, or in terms of a set of factors. It is also shown that these methods are equally valid for either forecast risk or realized risk.
