strategy and discuss its effectiveness in managing an Index Portfolio. After defining strategic criteria, we construct an optimal portfolio based on the Mean-Variance theory. We then manage it for the defined one-year period and apply classical (e.g. Sharpe Ratio, Treynor Ratio) as well as CPPI-specific (e.g. Omega Ratio, T2, M2) performance measures to create a consolidated portfolio view. Finally, using data form the Wharton Database we employ a multifactor analysis and discuss the performance of the

Though the films paint the similar process of brutal campaigning and numbing elections, these films have clearly different

“The case requires the Court to address one of the most difficult and controversial of contemporary issues, that of determining whether, and to what extent, Parliament may legitimately criminalize obscenity.” The R v Butler case is similar to the Sharpe case as it deals with what could be classified as obscenity and at that time obscenity also included child pornography.
