Explanation:

Calculation to determine the contribution to total performance from currency, country, and stock selection for the manager in the

A. Calculation for CURRENCY SELECTION

Using this formula

EAFE / Manager weight * Currency appreciation ( E1 / E0 - 1 )

Let plug in the formula

EAFE =[ 0.6 * ( 1 - 1 ) ] + [ 0.3 * ( 1.4 - 1 ) ] + [ 0.1 * ( 1.2- 1 ) ]

EAFE= 0+0.12+0.02

EAFE=14%

Manager =[ 0.6 * ( 1- 1 ) ] + [ 0.1 * ( 1.4 - 1 ) ] + [ 0.3 * ( 1.2- 1 ) ]

Manager=0+0.04+0.06

Manager=10%

Loss relative to EAFE=(10%-14%)

Loss relative to EAFE=4%

4% loss relative to EAFE

B. Calculation for COUNTRY SELECTION

Using this formula

EAFE/ Manager weight × Return on Equity Index

Let plug in the formula

EAFE = [ 0.6 * 15% + 0.3 * 16% + 0.1* 20% ]

EAFE = 0.09+0.048+0.02

EAFE = 15.8%

Manager = [ 0.6 * 12% + 0.1 * 17% + 0.3 * 17% ] Manager =0.072+0.017+0.051

Manager =14%

Loss relative to EAFE=15.8%-14%

Loss relative to EAFE=1.80%

1.80% loss relative to EAFE

C. Calculation for STOCK SELECTION

Using this formula

Stock Selection=( Manager’s return - Return on Equity Index ) × Manager weight

Let plug in the formula

Stock Selection=[ ( 12% - 15% ) * 0.6 ] + [ ( 17% - 16% ) * 0.1 ] + [ ( 17% - 20% ) * 0.3 ]

Stock Selection=-0.018+0.001+-0.009

Stock Selection=-2.6%

-2.6% loss relative to EAFE

i believe that it is a 45% chance.
