Abstract: | Using a Markovitz portfolio theory framework, risk-adjusted returns are estimated during the period 1950-1983 to a notional Name investing only in securities and able to spread his participation at Lloyd's over all syndicates. Such a Name would have earned abnormal risk-adjusted returns (compared with investment in the stock market) that were proportionally the largest for those paying the top marginal rates of tax. A large part of the benefit to high-tax paying Names was attributable to the difference in tax treatment accorded to capital gains compared with business income in the United Kingdom. |
