"the authors summarize the observations of a 2012 paper by Nardin Baker and Robert Haugen, noting that “a portfolio manager is typically paid a base salary, plus a bonus if performance is sufficiently high. They argue that this compensation arrangement resembles a call option on the portfolio return, the value of which can be increased by creating a more volatile portfolio. In other words,
there is a conflict of interest between professional investors, who have an incentive to engage in risk-seeking behavior, and their clients, who are more likely to be risk-averse, as assumed by the CAPM.” Blitz, Falkenstein, and van Vliet explain that
the optionality argument can be taken one step further “by arguing that the rewards of being recognized as a top manager are much larger than the rewards for second quintile managers, for instance. For example, top managers receive a disproportionate share of attention from outside investors, such as making it to the front cover of Bloomberg Markets magazine. In order to become a top investment manager, one must generate an extreme, outsized return. This has the additional benefit of signaling to potential future investors and employers that one is truly skilled, as it is virtually impossible to distinguish between skill and luck in a modest outperformance. Delegated portfolio managers focused on realizing an extreme return in the short run may be willing to accept a lower long-term expected return on the high-risk stocks which enable such returns.”"
