Performance attribution analysis evaluates the performance of a portfolio by breaking it into components attributed to specific investment decisions. These include:
Asset Allocation: The decision on the proportion of the portfolio allocated to different asset classes (e.g., stocks, bonds).
Sector Choice: Selecting specific sectors (e.g., technology, healthcare) within asset classes.
Security Selection: Choosing individual securities within the selected sectors.
Risk analysis, while critical for investment management, is not typically part of standard performance attribution frameworks.
