Think of attribution analysis as the grading scale that a portfolio manager is graded on. An asset management company might want to know how well their individual portfolio managers are doing their job.
The asset management company will examine attributes like what the portfolio manager’s overall investment strategy is, which individual securities she purchased and how they performed, and how the portfolio performed against the overall market trends. The idea is to determine if these attributes compare favorably (or not) against benchmarks determined by the market’s performance.

Finance: What is suspended trading?0 Views
Finance allah shmoop what is suspended Trading All right Next
up this snazzy pair of lavender suspended We'll start the
bidding at fifteen dollars Fifteen in the back Can i
get twenty Twenty twenty for the woman in the pink
jacket twenty five Do i hear twenty five Alright we're
switching to decaf No Okay So what really is suspended
trading trading in a security that is stopped suspended as
if in mid air like those chinese acrobats Well the
big question here why was trading suspended Could be one
of many reasons the company didn't provide proper financial documentation
in their quarterly report so the auditors didn't sign off
Ouch Yeah Not normally Bullish for a stock or company
is found guilty of fraud Or the ceo was caught
on tape holding squirrel fighting matches in his basement All
right Well the nineteen thirty four act gave the sec
the right to suspend trading for ten days now pretty
much any time they reasonably thought it necessary to protect
irving q investor And when this happens it's oh so
not good for the company in question The suspension itself
stops trading in the stock usually causing at least gentle
Panic among the myriad nervous nellie penguins out there just
dying to sell their stock But they can't because trading
is suspended and they get incrementally more nervous is the
minutes go by such that it well it makes them
do this So how does the pain end Euthanasia No
generally a standard form suspension last for ten days And
then it's done the thought being that if a company
takes longer than ten days to get its compliance act
in order well then seriously worse things were involved in
other agencies will probably then come to play Think fbi
the default tend a lapse may happen and then the
security is unsuspected presumably with company going on and on
and on endlessly about what happened and why and how
and how it will never happen again knowing that a
bunch of ambulance chasing lawyers from new york city will
sue them for not having filed properly the form from
the division in somalia and now the company according to
the lawyer zoe's shareholders eighteen billion dollars hopefully for the
company there payable in somalia in dollars or shareholders are
going to work out some kind of suspender trade Yeah 00:02:18.39 --> [endTime] About that
