DECENTRALIZED INVESTMENT
MANAGEMENT
“WILLIAM F. SHARPE “
1981
DBA, Finance
Prepared By :
Mohamed Ismail Megahed
Introduction
THE MARKOWITZ paradigm for mean-variance portfolio
analysis involves two main components:
(1) The preferences of the beneficiary “Client”of the
portfolio's performance
(2) The opportunity set based on someone's subjective
estimates of security expected returns, risks and
correlations.
Most discussions assume that two people are involved the
“beneficiary” and the “investment manager”
Introduction
 In practice the situation is often more complex. Some
investment funds (e.g. mutual funds) have many
beneficiaries. Others (e.g. some pension funds) are
managed by more than one investment firm. The
problem of optimal portfolio selection in such a context is
considerably more difficult than in the traditional setting.
 W. F. SHARPE in this article concentrated on the
problem in which there is more than one investment
manager which is employed in the process of selecting
an investment portfolio.
Current Practice
 If security markets are perfectly efficient and correspond
to the original capital asset pricing model, the
investment management problem is straightforward. But
if the markets are more complex, the task is more
difficult.
 In 1980 the American Telephone and Telegraph
Corporation employed 112 investment managers for its
pension funds.
Current Practice
 Each manager of a multiply managed portfolio is not
expected to select securities that "fit well" with the
remainder of the portfolio. Usually the manager does not
even know the composition of the rest of the portfolio.
 There was a survey of large pension funds found that
only 23% of the respondents disagreed with the
statement:
"With multiple managers, the individual managers should
not be held responsible for coordinating investments
with the portfolios of other managers."
Current Practice
 On the contrary, clients often give their managers
incentives to worry about relative performance as well
as absolute performance.
 W. F. SHARPE has taken the phenomenon of
decentralized investment management on its own
ground and assumed that clients believe that they can
find superior investment managers.
Reasons for Decentralized Management
 Investment managers perform many functions:
trading, record-keeping, risk and return estimation
and portfolio management. While special skills may
exist in trading, record keeping and management
per se, W. F. SHARPE focuses exclusively on the
prediction function.
 Rightly or wrongly, a client who employs several
managers believes that the best predictions can be
obtained by some appropriate blend of the
predictions of the chosen managers.
Reasons for Decentralized Management
 Why not replace decentralized management with
decentralized prediction-making and centralized
management ?
 To answer this question one needs to consider the
economics of the investment prediction industry.
While the average cost of a set of predictions may
be substantial, the direct marginal cost of providing
them to another user is very small.
 Moreover, a good set of predictions should be worth
more to a large investor than to a small one.
Reasons for Decentralized
Management
 More specifically the value should be related to the
amount of money that will be influenced by the
predictions. The predictor has a monopoly on a set of
predictions and, if desiring to maximize profit, will wish to
employ price discrimination.
 For effective price discrimination resale must be
precluded. The predictor will thus have an incentive to
make it difficult for other managers to obtain his or her
predictions. This is one reason why investment firms
may not wish to provide their predictions to the client,
since the latter might divulge them to competitors.
Reasons for Decentralized Management
 But there is another, perhaps more important,
reason. If several sets of predictions are used for
a centralized decision it is difficult to determine the
value of one set for the overall portfolio, reducing
the scope for value-based pricing strategies.
 Many managers refuse to "sell" their predictions.
Instead they require clients to give them money to
"manage." Their predictions are employed in the
management of such money, with management
fees based in whole or in part on the amount of
money under management.
Approaches to Decentralized Management
 in order to illustrate why more than one investment
manager, we will use the term , first, "diversification of
style” — hiring experts on different sets of securities to
cover a polar case in which each manager analyzes a
completely different subset of the universe of securities.
 Second, The term “diversification of judgment” — to
have more than one manager in case a manager makes
a large error. will be used to cover the other polar case
in which two or more managers analyze the same
subset of securities.
 these can be treated as combinations of the two extreme
cases.
Previous Research
Decentralized investment management has received little
direct attention, but much of the theory of investment is,
of course, relevant.
Markowitz‘ mean-variance approach constitutes the basic
structure to be used here. Much of the analysis relies on
separation results.
Previous Research
 Separation bas been employed in other contexts. In part
of the analysis we will utilize the idea of "consensus"
forecasts; these could be related to the key attributes of
an efficient market model. For generality we simply refer
to "consensus estimates,“ leaving the interpretation
open.
 The first direct approach to separation in a nearly-
efficient market context was the active/passive
dichotomy
 Much of this paper involves the restatement,
generalization, and extension of previous work. No claim
is made for complete originality.
Assumptions
While is the most natural form for the client's objective function, it is
convenient to transform it from expected return equivalent units to
variance
The first best assumptions
The first best assumptions
The first best assumptions
The first best assumptions
The vector Yp represents the optimal portfolio, and it can
be considered to be the sum of two vectors.
The first (GK) is a portfolio, while the second is a
constant (tp) times a set of divergences. For a client with
no tolerance for risk (GK) is the optimal portfolio—thus it
must be the minimum-variance portfolio, as indicated.
The second vector (GFp) indicates the optimal
divergence of each holding per unit of client risk
tolerance.
This separation result as "zero-beta" model, all clients
can be served by mixtures of two actual portfolios—one
based on tp = 0, the other on an arbitrarily large value of
tp.
Active-Passive Management
We turn now to the first case in which a client wishes to
choose a portfolio that is optimal for a specified "blend"
of predictions. In this case the ingredients are the
consensus forecasts of expected returns and those of a
single "active“ manager—i.e. one with beliefs that
diverge in at least some respects from those of the
consensus.
Active-Passive Management
 The client is assumed to have determined an
appropriate weight Wk such that the optimal
estimate of a security's expected return is
given by:
Active-Passive Management
Active-Passive Management
Active-Passive Management
Active-Passive Management
Active-Passive Management
Relative Performance Objectives
The active/passive approach is completely feasible if Wk
does not exceed 1. But what if a client wants a manager
to be more aggressive than normal—i.e. assigns a Wk
value greater than 1 to the manager's predictions? In
such a case Wc in (7b) becomes negative, implying a
short sale of the optimal passive portfolio in order to
generate extra money for active management.
As a practical matter, short sale of a passive portfolio is
likely to be costly or precluded entirely. However, the
desired result can be obtained in another way.
Relative Performance Objectives
In fact, the optimal portfolio can be achieved for any value
of Wk without hiring a passive manager if the active
manager is given an objective function that includes
relative performance.
The decisions required to maximize portfolio expected
return do not differ from those required to maximize the
expected difference between the return on the portfolio
and that of some standard portfolio.
Relative Performance Objectives
 To represent "relative performance“ as a separate
objective thus requires modification of the treatment of
risk. For our purposes the appropriate standard is the
optimal passive portfolio for the client. A client
"concerned about relative performance" is interested in
the likely divergence of the portfolio's return from that of
the standard portfolio. This can be reflected in an
expanded objective function:.
Relative Performance Objectives
Relative Performance Objectives
Diversification of Style
We turn now to cases involving more than one
active manager. To make the notation as simple
as possible we will usually focus on situations
involving only two managers. Extensions to cases
with more than two managers are, however,
straightforward. We begin with the polar case in
which each manager analyzes a completely
separate subset of the universe of securities, with
no concern for the remainder or for any
interrelationships between securities in the
domain analyzed and those in the remainder of
the universe.

While special skills may exist in trading, record keeping and management per se, W. F. SHARPE focuses exclusively on the prediction function.  Rightly or wrongly, a client who employs several managers believes that the best predictions can be obtained by some appropriate blend of the predictions of the chosen managers.
  • 8. Reasons for Decentralized Management  Why not replace decentralized management with decentralized prediction-making and centralized management ?  To answer this question one needs to consider the economics of the investment prediction industry. While the average cost of a set of predictions may be substantial, the direct marginal cost of providing them to another user is very small.  Moreover, a good set of predictions should be worth more to a large investor than to a small one.
  • 9. Reasons for Decentralized Management  More specifically the value should be related to the amount of money that will be influenced by the predictions. The predictor has a monopoly on a set of predictions and, if desiring to maximize profit, will wish to employ price discrimination.  For effective price discrimination resale must be precluded. The predictor will thus have an incentive to make it difficult for other managers to obtain his or her predictions. This is one reason why investment firms may not wish to provide their predictions to the client, since the latter might divulge them to competitors.
  • 10. Reasons for Decentralized Management  But there is another, perhaps more important, reason. If several sets of predictions are used for a centralized decision it is difficult to determine the value of one set for the overall portfolio, reducing the scope for value-based pricing strategies.  Many managers refuse to "sell" their predictions. Instead they require clients to give them money to "manage." Their predictions are employed in the management of such money, with management fees based in whole or in part on the amount of money under management.
  • 11. Approaches to Decentralized Management  in order to illustrate why more than one investment manager, we will use the term , first, "diversification of style” — hiring experts on different sets of securities to cover a polar case in which each manager analyzes a completely different subset of the universe of securities.  Second, The term “diversification of judgment” — to have more than one manager in case a manager makes a large error. will be used to cover the other polar case in which two or more managers analyze the same subset of securities.  these can be treated as combinations of the two extreme cases.
  • 12. Previous Research Decentralized investment management has received little direct attention, but much of the theory of investment is, of course, relevant. Markowitz‘ mean-variance approach constitutes the basic structure to be used here. Much of the analysis relies on separation results.
  • 13. Previous Research  Separation bas been employed in other contexts. In part of the analysis we will utilize the idea of "consensus" forecasts; these could be related to the key attributes of an efficient market model. For generality we simply refer to "consensus estimates,“ leaving the interpretation open.  The first direct approach to separation in a nearly- efficient market context was the active/passive dichotomy  Much of this paper involves the restatement, generalization, and extension of previous work. No claim is made for complete originality.
  • 14. Assumptions While is the most natural form for the client's objective function, it is convenient to transform it from expected return equivalent units to variance

  • 17. The first best assumptions
  • 18. The first best assumptions The vector Yp represents the optimal portfolio, and it can be considered to be the sum of two vectors. The first (GK) is a portfolio, while the second is a constant (tp) times a set of divergences. For a client with no tolerance for risk (GK) is the optimal portfolio—thus it must be the minimum-variance portfolio, as indicated. The second vector (GFp) indicates the optimal divergence of each holding per unit of client risk tolerance. This separation result as "zero-beta" model, all clients can be served by mixtures of two actual portfolios—one based on tp = 0, the other on an arbitrarily large value of tp.
  • 19. Active-Passive Management We turn now to the first case in which a client wishes to choose a portfolio that is optimal for a specified "blend" of predictions. In this case the ingredients are the consensus forecasts of expected returns and those of a single "active“ manager—i.e. one with beliefs that diverge in at least some respects from those of the consensus.
  • 20. Active-Passive Management  The client is assumed to have determined an appropriate weight Wk such that the optimal estimate of a security's expected return is given by:
  • 26. Relative Performance Objectives The active/passive approach is completely feasible if Wk does not exceed 1. But what if a client wants a manager to be more aggressive than normal—i.e. assigns a Wk value greater than 1 to the manager's predictions? In such a case Wc in (7b) becomes negative, implying a short sale of the optimal passive portfolio in order to generate extra money for active management. As a practical matter, short sale of a passive portfolio is likely to be costly or precluded entirely. However, the desired result can be obtained in another way.
  • 27. Relative Performance Objectives In fact, the optimal portfolio can be achieved for any value of Wk without hiring a passive manager if the active manager is given an objective function that includes relative performance. The decisions required to maximize portfolio expected return do not differ from those required to maximize the expected difference between the return on the portfolio and that of some standard portfolio.
  • 28. Relative Performance Objectives  To represent "relative performance“ as a separate objective thus requires modification of the treatment of risk. For our purposes the appropriate standard is the optimal passive portfolio for the client. A client "concerned about relative performance" is interested in the likely divergence of the portfolio's return from that of the standard portfolio. This can be reflected in an expanded objective function:.
  • 31. Diversification of Style We turn now to cases involving more than one active manager. To make the notation as simple as possible we will usually focus on situations involving only two managers. Extensions to cases with more than two managers are, however, straightforward. We begin with the polar case in which each manager analyzes a completely separate subset of the universe of securities, with no concern for the remainder or for any interrelationships between securities in the domain analyzed and those in the remainder of the universe.
