Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given scenario describes a comparison of portfolio managers to their peer group, which is evaluated through a boxplot of returns over a specific period of time. Therefore, the best choice is D - peer group comparison. A is incorrect as return adjusted comparison doesn't specifically describe this method of evaluation. B is incorrect as the efficient frontier comparison is a broader concept that applies to portfolio optimization, not evaluation. C is incorrect as time plot comparison doesn't necessarily involve a boxplot of returns for a universe of investors. E is incorrect as none of the given options accurately describe the scenario.
