Which of Radell’s statements regarding asset allocation Option 1 is most appropriate?
选项:
A.Statement 1 B.Statement 2 C.Statement 3解释:
C is correct. Statement 3 is most appropriate. The 20% allocation to emerging market equity is too high given the company’s goals and objectives and the sensitivity of revenues to the African economy. A weak emerging market economic environment is likely to stress the pension fund’s investment in emerging market equity and its revenue from its emerging market business simultaneously. Thus, the high volatility of emerging market equity, its limited diversification potential relative to global equity, and the sensitivity of the firm’s revenues to emerging market economies make a large, over-weighted allocation to the asset class inconsistent with the firm’s objective of minimizing fluctuations in year-to-year required contributions.
A
is incorrect. The Sharpe ratios for the current allocation, Option 1, and
Option 2 are 0.17, 0.19, and 0.175, respectively, with Option 1 having the
highest Sharpe ratio. The Sharpe ratio, while providing a means to rank choices
on the basis of return per unit of volatility, does not capture other
characteristics that are important to Sabonete, such as funded ratio, time
horizon, and predictability of contributions.
B
is incorrect. Sabonete’s land holdings outside of the pension fund are not
considered a part of the extended balance sheet for the SPP and should not
affect its asset allocation decisions.
Sabonete’s recent
acquisition of land in Africa are outside of the pension fund and, therefore,
should not be considered a part of the extended balance sheet for the SPP and
should not affect its asset allocation decisions.
前面有同学问
为什么land holding不影响asset allocation呢?
因为是Sabonetes公司而不是Pension plan(SPP),对非洲房地产进行了大量投资,所以这里的land holding不影响asset allocation。加上Option 1中Pension plan(SPP)对Real estate的投资比例为10%,权重不是很高,所以Statement 2的因果关系不成立。
C选项正确,在global market portfolio中emerging market equity只有10%的比例,而如果Pension plan(SPP)中占20%,权重过高。
那为什么Pension plan(SPP)占20%就高了呢? 按照前一个答案的逻辑不应该两者不相干嘛?
