What Separation Theorems Say and Do not Say<br />
• This approach is sometimes known as core-satellite investing,<br />
and in essence strictly similar to LDI when the benchmark is a<br />
liability-driven benchmark.<br />
• Now, this approach works even better when the TE of the<br />
satellite portfolio is “well-behaved”; a concern over VaTER in<br />
particular would lead to a severe opportunity cost.<br />
• Therefore, when designing the alternatively weighted satellite<br />
part, it is still useful to maximise the Sharpe ratio subject to<br />
suitably defined (relatively loose, e.g., 5%) TE constraints.<br />
• Adding beta constraints (with respect to a number of betas<br />
that may vary as a function of market conditions) is<br />
particularly effective in controlling for VaTER.<br />
