Active portfolio management has gathered significant attention from both academics and practioners. Our goal is to investigate the class between two competing ideas. On one hand increasing the Breadth of the portfolio we should have bigger diversification effect. On the other hand increasing the number of assets (Breadth) should lead to smaller forecasting ability and therefore lower . Presented results show that our first hypothesis is confirmed – increasing the number of assets in the portfolio magnifies the effect of the active management. Additionally we show that when managers increase their Breadth, they increase not only IR, but also manage to decrease which shows better stability of our forecasting skill through time.

The aim of this study is to improve the level of information support of a cluster by developing a model of an ERP system that consolidates information at the cluster level. The research tasks are: - a survey of the clusters, members of the Association of Business Clusters (ABC) in Bulgaria, analysis of the results of the survey and drawing of conclusions for the identified information support problems, analysis of the alternative solutions of the information problems, development of a conceptual model of an ERP system, development of a universal software model and software module for generating consolidated information. The model is approbated using the MS Dynamics Navision ERP system. The proposed solutions allow consolidation of cluster-level information, either horizontal or vertical, for the needs of cluster management.
