问题如下：
DA Fund focuses on event-driven strategies. Especially focusing on situations where a company offers cash-for-stock or stock-for-stock quotes for the target company. Its strategy assumes that the merger will fail or succeed. If the transaction is successful, the return on using moderate leverage ranges from 5% to 10%. Equities are the main securities used in merger arbitrage strategies, but DA funds also uses convertible bonds, options, and senior and junior debt. A common transaction is to hold a long position in the target company and a short position in the acquiring party. Although the return target is not high, the appeal to investors lies in the high Sharpe ratio associated with the strategy.
What are the reasons why investors are most likely to include DA funds in their investment portfolios?
选项：
A.Uncorrelated source of alpha
Capital structure arbitrage of valuation divergence
Earn the illiquidity premium associated with the strategy
解释：
A is correct. Merger arbitrage is a good unrelated source of alpha. Diversification in various mergers, transactions, and industries can further help hedge against the risk of any transaction failure. Merger arbitrage does not utilize capital structure divergence of individual companies and is a relatively liquidity strategy.
知识点考察：event-driven strategies。
首先B选项Capital structure arbitrage of valuation divergence从归类上不是Merger Arbitrage Strategy而是Distressed Securities的策略。而材料中提的都是merger相关事宜，所以B不选。
C选项由于merger如果流动性不好的话会影响买卖，所以要求流动性较好。
A选项是正确答案，而merger由于策略本身主要就是事件本身，很少受到宏观经济因素的影响，因此具有很好的分散化效果。所以A选项是对的。
助教你好：
我可以判断出题干描述的是merger strategy；根据基础班讲义，我也知道merger strategy can be a good uncorrelated source of alpha；我也明白解析说merger由于策略本身主要就是事件本身，很少受到宏观经济因素的影响，因此具有很好的分散化效果”。
我的疑问在于题干哪一句话可以得出A选项是正确的呢？
是这句“DA funds also uses convertible bonds, options, and senior and junior debt” 吗？可是这句跟基础班讲义上的句子似乎又没关联。讲义上关于分散化的那句是说在多个mergers, deals, industries之间做分散化。
谢谢🙏
