Adding Absolute Return to an Investment Diet


Ben Inker

hile investors could not help but enjoy what the markets served up in the 1990s, the 2000s have been a very different story. Not only have equity markets gone nowhere for over a decade, but the volatility has left investors feeling nauseous. The old recipe take x% stocks, add y% bonds, simmer for two or three decades, rebalance occasionally doesnt seem as tasty as it used to, leaving investors hungry for something new. Money managers are nothing if not imaginative cooks, however, and have come up with a recipe for a new dish, called absolute return. The aroma is appealing, but before digging in, diligent investors would be well-advised to learn a bit more about the ingredients, the recipes for putting them together, and how to make absolute return part of their well-balanced diet.

Ingredients: What Absolute Return Mutual Funds Are


At its heart, absolute return is a very simple concept. An absolute return mutual fund generally attempts to make money without regard for the performance of any particular asset class. Principally, an absolute return mutual fund considers risk in terms of losing actual money rather than underperforming a particular benchmark. It is not that the ingredients of an absolute return fund are necessarily different. The difference comes in the mindset of the manager. The mutual fund business is generally built around style boxes, specialization, and relative performance. For example, a fund describes itself as a large cap value fund, invests in a fairly restrictive set of stocks, and is judged by some combination of its performance versus its stated benchmark, its style benchmark as determined by Morningstar or Lipper, and its competition. Investment managers know this, and manage their funds accordingly, making sure not to stray far from their style box style drift is an almost unforgivable sin in the eyes of many investment consulting manager who feels that small cap growth stocks are actually the most attractive place to invest at a given point in time may well move his own money into small cap growth, but is extremely unlikely to change the composition of his large value fund. Absolute return managers may act differently. For them, a security only makes sense in the portfolio if it is offering a good expected return relative to its risk of loss. The securitys weight or inclusion in a particular benchmark is irrelevant. The managers may use any of a variety of different methods for determining this attractiveness e.g., value, momentum, macro-economic forecasting, long-term historical risk/return characteristics but the goal is always to earn good absolute returns and to worry about absolute, not relative, risk. In a sense, investors are asking the managers to manage their money the way they would manage their own, which should hopefully mean investors are getting their best thinking.

GLOBAL IS NOT A PERCENTAGE.

ITS A PERSPECTIVE.
Investments in foreign securities entail special risks (such as currency fluctuations and political uncertainties) and may have higher expenses and volatility. Emerging and developing market investments may be especially volatile. Investments in securities of small-cap and growth companies may be especially volatile. Diversification does not guarantee profit or protect against loss. Not all Oppenheimer funds received 4- or 5-star ratings. 1. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates ratings based on a proprietary risk-adjusted return score that accounts for variation in a funds monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistency. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% 4 stars, the next 35% 3 stars, the next 22.5% 2 stars and the bottom 10% 1 star with some adjustments for multiple share class portfolios. The Overall Morningstar Rating is derived from a weighted average of the 3-, 5- and 10-year ratings (where applicable). For the 3- and 5-year periods, respectively, Oppenheimer International Diversified Fund was rated 5 and 4 stars among 737 and 563 funds in the Foreign Large Blend category for the time periods ended 12/31/11. For the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods, respectively, Oppenheimer International Growth Fund was rated 3, 3 and 3 stars among 213, 164 and 96 funds in the Foreign Large Growth category. Rating is for Class A shares and rating may include more than one share class of funds in the category, including other share classes of these funds. Different share classes may have different expenses and performance characteristics. Ratings are relative peer group ratings and do not necessarily mean that the funds had high total returns. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Investors need to view every company, U.S. or foreign, from a global perspective. Companies across the world are competing for the same global opportunities. Portfolios should be built from the worlds best companies, no matter where theyre located. With 40 years of success in global investing, we know where to look.
