All equity portfolio managers and allocators of capital are familiar with traditional performance attribution analysis. But decision attribution — the analysis of a manager’s demonstrated decision-making skill — is the emerging frontier of portfolio manager evaluation and assessment. And you should be aware of it.
In this brand new research we ask:
How are managers using decision analytics within their investment process to measure and improve their decision-making?
How to productively engage allocators who are increasingly asking tough questions about evidence of investment skill
Why resisting decision attribution analysis puts managers at a competitive disadvantage in the market

How should you respond to client’s/investor’s different preferences?
Investors want practical strategies for long-term stewardship of their particular niche. How do the best asset owners, wealth managers and asset managers do this? From integrating into the overall portfolio or focussing on very particular outcomes, e.g. SDG contribution or carbon reduction or any other defined metrics such as an impact portfolio.
It’s not just about the “E” but also on the “S” to support evolving society.
