*AME = Average Market Exposure

 

If shouldn't be posing in your thread, let me know...

How do you calculate AME? I don't understand really what it is or how you are calculating it. Thanks.

 

I'll use ENPIX in this example.
ProFunds states that the objective for this fund is:
"Seeks daily investment results before fees and expenses, that correspond to 150%, of the daily performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Oil & Gas Index. "

Market Exposure (ME) for any given day:
ME = LF*PS/AS
where
LF = Leverage Factor of fund (determined by ProFunds)
PS = Position Size
AS = Account Size

For example, if we take a $20000 ENPIX position in a $45000 account:
ME = 1.5*20000/45000 = .667

AME is calculated by taking an average of all daily MEs.

By definition, the benchmark (^DJUSEN in this example), has a constant ME (and therefore AME) of 1.0.

For this journal:
ProFunds Leverage Factors:
Account A:
UOPIX(long) 2.0
OTPIX(long) 1.0
SOPIX(short) 1.0
USPIX(short) 2.0
Account B:
ENPIX(long) 1.5
SNPIX(short) 1.0
Account C:
PMPIX(long) 1.5
SPPIX(short) 1.0

 

Thanks that was very educational for me. I appreciate the time you put into that post. Good luck.

 

Thanks for stopping by!
