Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper considers the recent underperformance of the equal weighted portfolio of South African Top 40 stocks relative to the market capitalisation weighted portfolio. It highlights the impact of the increased concentration of market capitalisation weights in the Top 40, which is currently at extreme levels. Furthermore, lower levels in the benefits of diversification, through higher average correlations, has reduced the positive impact of rebalancing. Finally, the turnover in index constituents has been higher than average in recent years and this has caused a further drag on performance. The combination of these effects has had a negative impact on the equal weighted portfolio’s relative performance. A rudimentary linear model, with these factors as inputs, that highlights the importance of monitoring these drivers to improve the equal weighted portfolio’s relative performance is presented.

如果等额加权投资组合这么好，为什么它在南非不起作用?

摘要本文考虑了南非前40名股票的等权重投资组合最近相对于市值加权投资组合的表现不佳。它强调了市值权重在前40名中日益集中的影响，目前该权重处于极端水平。此外，通过更高的平均相关性，多样化的收益水平较低，降低了再平衡的积极影响。最后，近年来指数成分股的成交量高于平均水平，这进一步拖累了业绩。这些影响的结合对等权重投资组合的相对表现产生了负面影响。提出了一个以这些因素为输入的基本线性模型，该模型强调了监测这些驱动因素以提高等权重投资组合的相对性能的重要性。
