Contents: Risk Decomposition. The standard method of decomposing portfolio risk into contributions from individual assets is used for 'risk budgeting' by pension funds. Unfortunately, while this analysis gives a unique answer for absolute risk, it gives three very different answers for tracking error, or risk relative to some benchmark (such as the pension fund's liabilities). This talk describes what is happening, and shows that the analysis used by most practitioners does not give the most useful answer.
