ABSTRACT

The preceding chapters have been devoted to the examination of all aspects of the performance measurement of portfolios and the range of aspects have included the purpose, rationale and the details of the various measures used in performance appraisal. Amongst the various problems encountered, the collection and preparation of data required for various components of the analysis have presented the greatest problem. Apart from the data problem, we have also seen the complexity of the technical problems of evaluating the data and producing the conclusions in an appropriate form.
