The Spaulding Group, Inc. (TSG) announced today that its next survey of the money management industry will address performance attribution. The survey will address all aspects of attribution, including approaches, preferences, and systems. We have taken on six cosponsors (DST Global Solutions, First Rate,  StatPro, Morningstar, BI-SAM and VPD) for this research project. They will not receive details about the participants - this information will remain confidential.

“Performance attribution remains a very exciting topic in performance measurement, especially fixed income attribution,” said TSG's president, David Spaulding. “This is the fourth time we have devoted our resources to research this important topic.”

Survey participants will receive a complimentary copy of the results. It is TSG’s policy to ensure confidentiality of the participants; participant details will not be shared. Results are expected to be available by December. TSG will host a luncheon presentation and a web cast of the results. Details about these events will be forthcoming.

TSG has surveyed the industry on a regular basis since 1993. Last year, TSG focused for the first time on risk; the results are available on the company’s website as well as within the Supplemental issue to The Journal of Performance Measurement.
