I have done some samples in the past, but I wanted to iterate through a couple more, especially to evaluate other options for what has been started in the PApages package. Of course, this text could be easily replaced with some commentary from a manager about opportunities, thoughts, or current allocation. A dashboard set of charts also might be very helpful here.} \hrulefill \end{wide} <<eval=TRUE,echo=FALSE,results='hide',warning=FALSE,message=FALSE,error=FALSE>>= #do requires and set up environment for reporting require(xtable) require(ggplot2) require(directlabels) require(reshape2) require(latticeExtra) require(quantmod) require(PerformanceAnalytics) data(managers) #get xts in df form so that we can melt with the reshape package #will use just manager 1, sp500, and 10y treasury managers <- managers[,c(1,8,9)] #add 0 at beginning so cumulative returns start at 1 #also cumulative will match up datewise with returns managers <- as.xts(rbind(rep(0,NCOL(managers)),coredata(managers)), order.by=c(as.Date(format(index(managers)[1],"%Y-%m-01"))-1,index(managers))) managers.df <- as.data.frame(cbind(index(managers),coredata(managers)),stringsAsFactors=FALSE) #melt data which puts in a form that lattice and ggplot enjoy managers.melt <- melt(managers.df,id.vars=1) colnames(managers.melt) <- c("date","account","return") managers.melt[,1] <- as.Date(managers.melt[,1]) #get cumulative returns starting at 1 managers.cumul <- as.xts( apply(managers+1,MARGIN=2,FUN=cumprod), #add end of first month to accommodate the 1 that we add order.by=index(managers)) managers.cumul.df <- as.data.frame(cbind(index(managers.cumul), coredata(managers.cumul)), stringsAsFactors=FALSE) managers.cumul.melt <- melt(managers.cumul.df,id.vars=1) colnames(managers.cumul.melt) <- c("date","account","return") managers.cumul.melt[,1] <- as.Date(managers.cumul.melt[,1]) #get rolling returns for 1y, 3y, 5y, since inception trailing <- table.TrailingPeriods(managers, periods=c(12,36,60,NROW(managers)),FUNCS=c("mean"),funcs.names=c("return")) trailing.df <- as.data.frame(cbind(c("1y","3y","5y","SinceIncep"), c(rep("return",4)), coredata(trailing)), stringsAsFactors=FALSE) trailing.melt <- melt(trailing.df,id.vars=1:2) colnames(trailing.melt) <- c("period","measure","account","return") #function to get numbers in percent format #will use \\ to play well with tikz percent <- function(x, digits = 2, format = "f", ...) { paste(formatC(100 * x, format = format, digits = digits, ...), "%", sep = "") } @ \begin{textblock*}{105mm}(15mm,70mm) \begin{figure} \vspace{0pt} <<echo=FALSE,eval=TRUE,fig.width=8,fig.height=12>>= charts.PerformanceSummary(managers, colorset=c(brewer.pal(9,"Blues")[6],brewer.pal(8,"Greys")[c(5,4)]), xlab=NULL) @ \end{figure} \end{textblock*} \begin{textblock*}{75mm}(120mm,100mm) \small Cumulative returns offer one of the best methods to evaluate the ability of a manager to achieve long term returns.
