Measuring the performance of P: Appraisal ratio
Measures performance of A that is contribution of securities appraisal to total performance (value-added/ direct measure of analytic skills)

Data used to generate BTM comes from specialised units
1) Macro forecasting (market data) 2) Quantitative teams (asset data) 3) Combining these to make return predictions + correlations for assets 4) Use this to make alpha predictions

BTM: takeaway questions
1) How much does it cost to construct (A) (fees) given its appraisal ratio (value-added) 2) How much do we trust our inputs? (accuracy of forecasts for alpha/ res risk)
