In addition to the stated benchmark, we consider several other indices as potential benchmark candidates.
For each benchmark, we calculate annualized excess returns, annualized tracking error, and the correlation coefficient between the manager return and the benchmark. We indicate the lowest tracking error and the highest correlation coefficient.
We perform simple regressions using each benchmark to calculate regression alpha and beta.
In order to assess a manager's ability to time exposure to the benchmark, we perform the following regression:
