Flexibility to take short positions increases research impact

Source: UBS Global Asset Management. For illustrative purposes only. There are certain unique risks associated with the use of short sale strategies. For example, there is a risk that a client portfolio will incur a loss by subsequently buying a security at a higher price than the price at which the security was sold short.

Example: Research suggests meaningful underweight for stocks A and B

Stock A: 100 bps market weight

Stock B: 10 bps market weight

A look at upside performance/downside performance

Upside Market Capture Ratio – A measure of the manager’s performance in up markets relative to the market itself. A value of 110 suggests the manager performs ten percent better thanthe market when the market is up during the selected time period. The return for the market for each period is considered an up market if it is greater than or equal to zero. The Upside Capture Ratio is calculated by dividing the return of the manager during the up market periods by the return of the market during the same periods.Downside Market Capture Ratio – A measure of the manager’s performance in down markets relative to the market itself. A value of 90 suggests the manager’s loss is only nine tenths of the market’s loss during the selected time period. A market is considered down if the return for the benchmark is less than zero. The Downside Capture Ratio is calculated by dividing the return of the manager during the down market periods by the return of the market during the same periods.Source: UBS Global Asset ManagementAs of March 31, 2013.UBS Global AM European Opportunity Unconstrained Composite inception date of 31 May 2007.The returns shown above are based on currently available information and are subject to revision.
