Pension funds can achieve better results by rebalancing their investment portfolios less often and at less predictable times, studies by asset managers Kempen Capital Management and PGGM have suggested.Ivo Kuiper, head of asset allocation at Kempen, who is to obtain a doctorate from Tilburg University next month, found that switching rebalancing from once a month to once a quarter would lead to an improvement to investment returns of up to 3% over 20 years.He explained that in his calculations he hadn’t applied returns as benchmark, but as the theoretical notion of “loss of use”, which also included risk impact.“Frequently rebalancing is plainly disadvantageous, as relatively low costs accrue significantly in the long term,” he concluded. “If a pension fund rebalances on a monthly basis, its entire portfolio would have been sold eight times with the ensuing transaction costs during a 20-year period.” In another study, Melinda Rook, portfolio manager at PGGM, assessed the adverse impact of the predictability of when pension funds rebalanced their portfolios, which is usually at month-end.This enables other market players to anticipate portfolio changes. Securities to be purchased were slightly more expensive at the end of the month, Rook found, while divested assets were priced lower.Rook said this could be avoided by simply refraining from rebalancing on the last trading day of the month.She found that a pension fund with a portfolio comprising equity and fixed income in a 50/50 ratio would have achieved a 3% better return over the past 20 years if it had rebalanced four days before month-end. Kuiper noted that rebalancing was carried out at many different levels and that the frequency could differ per level.“The ratio between return-seeking and matching portfolios, for example, differs from rebalancing hedging positions on interest and currency risk,” he said. “Moreover, the frequency also depends on the used bandwidth for the scale of allocations.”Kempen’s head of asset allocation said he had observed that several pension funds had already switched to quarterly rebalancing. However, he argued that rebalancing only once a year would be more beneficial in may cases.In his opinion, the temporary imbalance within the portfolio would be more than cancelled out by lower transaction costs.
The five, along with the six others,are currently in the custody of the Miag-ao police station and undergoinginquest proceeding. ILOILO – Five “child warriors” of theNew People’s Army (CPP-NPA) were among the 11 captured individuals in anencounter between government troops and rebels in Miag-ao town on April 18, thePhilippine Army said. The Army commander also said the fiveminors were all male and residents of Antique province. He said the NPA using minors to wagearmed struggle was “very alarming” and a serious offense. “It is a clear violation of Rule 136 of theInternational Humanitarian Law which prohibits the recruitment of minors by anyarmed groups involved in hostilities,” he said. As recruitment of minors is confirmedin the southern area of Panay, Sison is calling on the parents and guardians toalways guide the teenagers. “I commend the troops of the 61stInfantry (Hunter) Battalion for acting swiftly in eliminating the threat posedby the NPA terrorists in Barangay Cabalaunan. Despite being exhausted in ourdeployments in different quarantine control points, they were still able toperform their task of protecting our people from terrorism,” said Major GeneralEric Vinoya, commander of the Army’s 3rd Infantry Division. (PNA/PN) The blocking force of the Armycaptured 11 rebels while one was killed in a 35-minute gun battle. “For the captured, we have five minors.One of them was 14 years old. Two were 15 years old. One was 16 years old, andthe other one was 17 years old,” said Colonel Marion Sison, commander of the301st IBde. Sison slammed the claims of the NPAthat those captured were not their members. Charges will be filed against those oflegal age while the minors will be turned over to the Department of SocialWelfare and Development for proper custody. The casualty on the armed encounter,meanwhile, was of legal age, a regular member of the NPA, and was alreadyturned over to his family, said Sison. The five could be considered “childwarriors” as some of them were “newly recruited and some rmed already,” headded. “That is not new to us. They always dothat. But we have rebel returnees who confirmed that those captured were indeedtheir former comrades,” he said. According to the 61st InfantryBattalion (61IB) under the 301st Infantry Brigade (301st IBde), government troopsresponded to persistent reports that the NPA was training minor recruits inSitio Anoy, Barangay Cabalaunan, Miag-ao.

The new Ireland manager appointed the 42-year-old as his assistant last week with Keane having been out of the game since losing his job at Ipswich in January 2011. O’Neill was delighted to have landed a number two he believes will bring genuine quality to the international stage he once graced as a player, but revealed his astonishment at his availability. Martin O’Neill has admitted he is surprised no club has taken the chance to hand Roy Keane a return to management. “He was very focussed, he was looking forward to it and he was talking a great deal about it last night, and true to his word, he was there.” O’Neill revealed he spoke briefly to the players on Monday evening and then again on Tuesday morning before training, and he and Keane will spend the next two days getting to know the squad ahead of Friday’s friendly against Latvia. The manager already knows the likes of John O’Shea and Keiren Westwood from his time at Sunderland, and there was another familiar face in midfielder Aiden McGeady. O’Neill said: “They are very enthusiastic and ready for it, I think. There’s a bit of disappointment with the way in which the (World Cup) qualifiers ended. “Just speaking to them last night, I think they felt that probably the killer-blow was really the late equaliser by Austria and that certainly knocked confidence a bit, and from then onwards, it was really uphill. But overall, they are looking forward to it. “McGeady hasn’t changed a bit since I knew him at Celtic. He’s exactly the same, just as crabbit as they come. Not one bit, honestly.” When asked the inevitable question about Stephen Ireland’s chances of being recalled to the squad after his self-imposed six-year exile, O’Neill insisted he had an open mind. Ireland has indicated he would like to speak to the new management team, although the 61-year-old Ulsterman is not sure how he will approach the issue. He said: “Some players are actually taller than me and some are stronger than me, and when I have a decision to leave them out, I might have to phone them rather than speak to them face-to-face. That will tell you how brave I am at the end of it all. “When you have to face John Hartson in the wrath of a semi-final having been taken off the field – and we had won the game. “I thought John would have been celebrating, but he was waiting for me in the tunnel, so having faced John, I think I can face most people. “And to be perfectly honest, Stephen Ireland is much smaller than John Hartson.” Andy Reid has returned to the international fold in the wake of Giovanni Trapattoni’s departure having fallen foul of the Italian following a sing-song in the team hotel in the wake of a World Cup qualifier victory over Georgia. Asked if he could cope with Reid and his guitar, O’Neill replied: “If he plays it well, I haven’t a problem with it. “At some stage, Andy will have to go to bed, won’t he? If he is still continuing to play at 5.30am, even I, even if we won, might get fed up with that.” He said: “I am. I know that he feels things didn’t go very well at Ipswich for him. “I think sometimes it’s forgotten as well that in his first season, he actually got Sunderland promoted and did very well. Some of those things get lost in time and people want to forget that. “But I think I was surprised that he hadn’t had another opportunity, that somebody wouldn’t have taken a chance with him. “But who knows what might happen here? He’s here, he is focussed on it. He wants to do it and I think you will find tomorrow that he is especially ready for it.” Keane will meet the media on Wednesday afternoon for the first time since his appointment and given that much of the talk since his return to the Irish set-up was first mooted has centred around his Saipan bust-up with then manager Mick McCarthy ahead of the 2002 World Cup finals, there is sure to be a packed house. The former Manchester United midfielder was at the training ground by 9.30am on Tuesday morning, 90 minutes before the players were due to begin work under the new regime for the first time, and the initial feedback after a session in which he played a leading role was positive. O’Neill said: “Roy? Well, I sent him there early,” before adding: “I did not, he wanted to go. “He was with the goalkeeping coach and Seamus (McDonagh) is always early. Seamus would have started at 5.30am this morning if he could, so Roy wanted to go with him just to get a few things organised. Press Association

(AP) — The U.S. Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights has found a Connecticut policy that allows transgender athletes to compete in girls sports is illegal.

The letter, dated May 15, says the policy has “denied female student-athletes athletic benefits and opportunities, including advancing to the finals in events, higher level competitions, awards, medals, recognition, and the possibility of greater visibility to colleges and other benefits.”The Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference, which oversees scholastic sports in the state, has said its policy is designed to comply with the state’s law barring schools from discriminating against transgender students.NASCAR-CHARLOTTERained-out Cup rescheduled CONCORD, N.C.
