The purpose of the event is to provide students with the opportunity to evaluate the relative effectiveness of the portfolio. In the event, the students are asked to select one portfolio of eight options. Here, the selected portfolio will be included in the big European portfolio. This is a good use of Sharpe, Treynor and Jensen indices in the international environment. It can be used to make a clear distinction as to when each of the different performance indicators should be used. In addition to assessing the effectiveness of the students should also ask how each candidate portfolios fit within the overall goal more than the portfolio. This case can be used in the class portfolio management to introduce various measures of performance.
