1. Growth stocks have outperformed value stocks for some time. This has changed recently. The value components of the Russell 2000 and Russell 1000 are beating the growth counterparts by over 10% year-to-date (Braham, 2021). The spreads are the largest ever (Braham). The author uses other measures to conclude growth is insanely expensive and value is cheap, relative to the market (Braham, para. 4). The Russell 300 growth index had a price to book of 11.1 and the Russell 3000 value index was at only 2.5 (Braham). The differences between styles can be significant. What is the relative difference in performance year-to-date?
2. The different considerations that an investor has when looking at mutual funds are pretty varied. Are there situations in which a mutual fund would knowingly set itself up for higher risk (say by including a less diverse set of companies) in order to attract a specific type of investor? Or, would this practice be less accepted within the mutual fund industry?
3. According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (2022), a mutual funds past performance does not predict future returns, however, it can be a very good indicator of stability and volatility of the mutual fund overall. For example, if a mutual fund has been highly volatile in the past, the investment risk would be high. Besides observing past volatility trends, what other information can an investor use to determine the volatility/stability of a mutual fund? I look forward to your response.
4. designing a combination approach of task performance and contextual performance in the performance evaluation framework. I think that Madison poses some really good questions that all organizations should be asking…..how is the system perceived by the people that have to “live” with it?
