问题如下:
Ahern, an analyst from an investment company, recently gathered the following information for an equal-weighted index comprised of assets A, B, and C:
What is the total return of this index?
选项:
A.2.7%.
B.3.79%.
C.9.69%.
解释:
C is correct.
The total return of the index is calculated based on the price change of the underlying securities plus the total amount of received income or total amount of the weighted total returns of each security. The total return of A is 31.25 percent; the total return of B is -8.18 percent; and the total return of C is 6 percent:
A:
B:
C:
An equal-weighted index applies the same weight (is ) to each security’s return; therefore, the total return =.
考点:Methods of index construction
这道题让我们计算的是等权重构建方法下的指数的total return,所以我们首先要区分price return和total return,计算total return需要包括期间的收益即股息。第二,这里是等权重的构建方法,等权重相当于每只股票买了相同的金额,那么我们就先计算每种股票的收益率再除以股票种类。
既然每个成分股权重相等,假设每成分股持有一股,计算分式不应该是((10-8+0.5)+(19-22+1.2)+(25-25+0.5))/(10+19+25)?
