Q. A hedge fund with net capital of GBP500 million has borrowed an additional GBP200 million at 4.5% per annum. The current-year return of the fund is 15%. What would have been the return if the fund had not added any leverage?选项:
A.10.70% B.12.00% C.19.20%解释:
B is correct.
Using Equation 2,
rL = Leveraged portfolio return/Cash position = [r × (Vb+Vc) – (Vb × rb)]/Vc.Or, after re-arranging the formula,r= ( Vc×rL )+(Vb×rb)(Vc+Vb).Substituting rL = 0.15, Vb = 200, Vc = 500, rb = 0.045,r = (500 × 0.15) + (200 × 0.045)/(200 + 500) = 12%.Since leverage magnifies return when the borrowing cost is lower than asset returns, the unleveraged asset return must be lower than 15%.
“”current-year return of the fund is 15%.“为什么理解为re?
这道题我以为是总共A——500,D——200,rd=4.5%,E——500-200=300
