解释：
Under the fee structure identified by Porter, Smith’s stated expectation would be reflected in a misestimation of portfolio risk because performance-based fee structures may lead to such misestimates. Performance-based fee structures convert symmetrical gross active return distributions into asymmetrical net active return distributions, reducing variability on the upside but not the downside. As a result, a single standard deviation calculated on a return series that incorporates active returns, above and below the base fee, can lead to the underestimation of downside risk. In contrast, fully symmetric fees (fully exposing the manager to both upside and downside results) tend to yield closer alignment in risk and effort than bonus-style fees.
the managers apply bonus structure that is performance-based fee structures ,where the manager is not fully exposed to the downside but is fully exposed to the upside.
the managers risks more to pursuit incentive fee. whereas for downside risk, the manager has base fee as protection.
