Ingabire is a portfolio manager for the Nyamata Fund, a core large-cap equity fund. The market proxy and benchmark for performance measurement purposes is the S&P 500. Although the Nyamata portfolio generally mirrors the asset class and sector weightings of the S&P, Ingabire is allowed a significant amount of leeway in managing the fund.

Question

Ingabire is a portfolio manager for the Nyamata Fund, a core large-cap equity fund. The market proxy and benchmark for performance measurement purposes is the S&P 500. Although the Nyamata portfolio generally mirrors the asset class and sector weightings of the S&P, Ingabire is allowed a significant amount of leeway in managing the fund. His portfolio holds only stocks found in the S&P 500 and cash.

Ingabire was able to produce exceptional returns last year (as outlined in the table below) through his market-timing and security selection skills. At the outset of the year, he became extremely concerned that the combination of a weak economy and geopolitical uncertainties would negatively impact the market.

The S&P’s allocation between stocks and cash during the period was a constant 97% and 3%, respectively. The risk-free rate of return was 2%.
