Following up Question 9 above, you also have benchmark weight, which is 35% in Asset 1, 40% in Asset 2, 25% in Asset 3. Calculate marginal contribution to tracking error (MCTE) and absolute contribution to tracking error (ACTE). Specify which method do you use and the pros and cons of that method in the context of this question.

9. You have performance data for two portfolio managers and a common benchmark portfolio: Stock Bonds Cash Benchmark Weight Return 0.6 -5.0% 0.3 -3.5% 0.1 0.3% Manager A Weight Return 0.5 -4.0% 0.2 -2.5% 0.3 0.3% Manager B Weight Return 0.3 -5.0% 0.4 -3.5% 0.3 0.3% i) Calculate the overall returns of benchmark, Manager A and Manager B. Did these managers under- or outperform the benchmark? ii) Calculate asset allocation effect and security selection effect for both Manager A and B. Comment on what this performance attribution analysis tells you about managers' performance? 9.
