“…However, Markov, Mottl and Muchnik (2004) highlight a major problem in attempting to capture the dynamics of allocation across asset classes through movable windows: the technique does not do well with structural breaks, since it over-smoothes transitions, taking a long time to fully capture them. e methodology most frequently used in the literature to deal with this problem consists in modeling it as a state space, using some method to estimate the unknown parameters, and a recursive algorithm to estimate the states.…”

From 2005 to 2015, the total assets managed by open private pension funds increased more than six times in Brazil, where the Free Bene t Generating Plan (PGBL) and the Free Bene t Generating Life (VGBL) represent 90% of these assets. However, private pension institutions are characterized by the collection of high management fees, thus keeping for themselves much of the bene ts o ered by the government as incentive for investment in this modality. High management fees are justi ed only when there is active management of these funds, theoretically generating higher performance: this study indicates that this is not the case in this market segment. Similar problems have been faced in other countries, such as the United Kingdom, Denmark, and Sweden, which led investigation concerning funds that charge high management fees for active management, while they actually provide management that may be regarded as passive. is demonstrates the scale and relevance of this issue, which has been surveyed and addressed by this study. To do this, dynamic style analysis was performed, through rolling regressions, followed by Kalman lter analysis in funds from the top-ve private pension institutions in Brazil. Analyzing the exposure evolution of these funds to various asset classes and the R 2 generated, passivity traces were found, mainly in composite variable income funds. Such funds are precisely those that should be more actively managed, as they charge the highest management fees. is article also demonstrates it is possible to build a passive portfolio, having a very similar style and returns without statistically signi cant di erences, but at a lower management fee (and aligned with passive funds).
