What is attributie?

Attribution concerns the analysis of a portfolio's performance by comparing it to a benchmark. The goal is to understand how different components of the portfolio – such as sectors, regions, or individual stocks – contribute to the total performance.

Attribution analysis examines how much each part of the portfolio, through overweighting or underweighting of investment categories, sectors, regions, or individual securities, contributes to the total performance.

This helps to determine which choices and strategies had the greatest effect on the portfolio's return.

English: attribution.
