The following examples show how you can use benchmark data in Performance reports.
Perform a Contribution Analysis
The following figure provides an example of a contribution analysis prepared using Eagle Performance. It compares a fixed income portfolio to its index by type of instrument.
In the previous figure, the portfolio and index weights and durations by segment show the market value and duration positioning of the portfolio. The weighted durations show the contribution to portfolio and index duration made by each instrument type.
To complete this analysis, you can either load or calculate the instrument-level durations for the period. For the index, this data is available from the sponsor of the index. Using the Performance Analysis report, you can compare entities to indexes by other factors, such as the following:
Sector, industry, duration, quality
Market capitalization, p/e, sector
Asset class, country
