General Systems Risk Management and A-REIT entity performance
Simon Huston, Clive Warren, Peter Elliott
Purpose
To investigate General Systems Theory (GST) risk management framework.
Academic traditions
Efficient Market Hypothesis Technical analysisFundamental
Quantitative (financial statements)Qualitative Practice Barra Risk Factor Analysis of
industry risk, investment themes and entity-specific risk (earnings growth, share turnover and debt rating)
Australian context
Dual economy mining boom - since 2004 80 % export growth 10 % foreign students Xrate destruction of manufacturing Population surge 1.6m (8%) in 5 year (new
dwellings = 155,000 pa) Concentrated in capital cities (80%) Affordability
3% homes affordable for poor households Ratio of house prices/ income = 4.6

Methodology
Develop GST RM modelBenchmark RM of A-REITs using public
Web-site info Calculate volatility-adjusted returns
(Treynor ratios). Asses link between RM score and
performance.
Stages
1. Develop GST-RM framework 2. Identify the major risks facing A-REIT 3. Benchmark stated risk mitigation practice in
key players Stockland Lend Lease Group Peet Ltd Mirvac Group AVJennings Ltd
4. Link with risk-adjusted performance
GST-RM model
Performance drivers
Strategic positioning Building portfolio
Product Location mix
Tenant covenant Management
Competitiveness Operational effectiveness
Supply chain optimization Strategic alliances
Responsiveness to turbulence Critical capabilities
Leadership and iintegrity Governance (agency problem) Core competencies
Project management Planning insight Environmental management Market surveillance

Treynor ratio
mesure de la rentabilité par rapport au risque engagé
T = (ki – rf/ β
Excess returns wrt market ("alpha“) or risk free asset
β = Beta or relative volatility of asset
= Cov (i, m)/Var m
Caution: high TR can mean an asset with negative returns and a negative (counter-cyclical) beta

Findings
The GST framework directs attention to risks involving surveillance flexibility capacity controls.
No link (correlation) between publically assessed RM and volatility-moderated returns.
Implications
Displayed RM not sufficient condition for corporate success.
Display of inadequate RM could signal internal deficiencies?
Limitations
Web-sourced corporate information inadequate to properly score RM.
EMH predicts no publically-derived information advantage
Stock prices capitalise quality to maintain a consistent marginal price of risk.
