CASE STUDY SUMMARY

This case study applies CVaR regression to the drawdown-based style classification of a mutual fund. The procedure regresses fund cumulative drawdowns by four indices’ cumulative drawdowns as explanatory variables. The estimated coefficients represent the fund’s style with respect to each of the indices. This problem is inspired by Bassett and Chen (2001) where they conducted style analyses of quantiles of the return distribution. Their approach is based on the quantile regression approach suggested by Koenker and Bassett (1978). The corresponding case study can be found here. Here we adopt the 0.9 quantile regression problem (Problem 2) to compare against our results. Another comparison we make is with the 0.9 CVaR regression on the same returns data (Problem 3) for fund style classification. The corresponding full case study can be found here.

In our case study we perform a CVaR regressesion of the drawdowns of the Fidelity Magellan Fund on drawdowns of the Russell Value Index (RUJ), RUSSELL 1000 VALUE INDEX (RLV), Russell 2000 Growth Index (RUO) and Russell 1000 Growth Index (RLG). This multiple regression problem (Problem 1) is developed studied in Ding and Uryasev (202), where the approach is called multiple Co-Conditional Drawdown-at-Risk and is also applied to systemic risk contribution measurement tasks. Here, we want to calculate coefficients for the explanatory variables of the tail of the distribution of residuals (these coefficients may differ from the regression coefficients for the mean and the median of the distribution). The confidence level in our regression problems are 0.9 (tail average of large drawdowns) and 0.0 (average drawdowns). These coefficients are compared with those obtained from previous case studies.
