An analyst is calculating the Public Market Equivalent (PME) using the Kaplan-Schoar (KS-PME) method. A contribution of $100 was made when the index was at $1,000. A distribution of $150 was received when the index was at $1,200.
What is the KS-PME, and what does it indicate?
- 0.80; the fund underperformed the public market index.
- 1.25; the fund outperformed the public market index.
- 1.00; the fund's returns were perfectly correlated with the index.
