From the analysis, you can see how your portfolio has performed overall (Portfolio section) and compare it against how the selected benchmarks have performed (Benchmark section). Along with absolute return and volatility, you can also see how individual positions have contributed to the overall performance. Here you can see that Swedish stocks contributed most to the portfolio’s overall 7.86% return over the analysis period. Benchmark performed better overall with 14.08% return.

The Strategy section describes the underlying strategy weights. Here you can see that Swedish stocks had on average 45% share of the portfolio while the target was 40%.

The Attribution section then shows the results from the Brinson attribution analysis describing how allocation decisions (Timing), security selections (Selection) have contributed to the overall Attribution (different between the contribution of benchmark vs the position). Even though, the portfolio under-performed against its benchmark, the Swedish stocks were an exception (total attribution +2.54%). It was especially the selected stocks that had the positive effect on the attribution (+2.47%).

Analysis section contains some KPIs from comparing the position’s performance against the benchmark performance with optionally taking a risk-free rate into account.
