问题如下:
Winthrop and Tong agreethat only the existing equity investments need to be liquidated. Tong suggeststhat, as an alternative to direct equity investments, the new equity portfoliobe composed of the exchange-traded funds (ETFs) shown in Exhibit 1.
Basedon Exhibit 1 and assuming a full-replication indexing approach, the trackingerror is expected to be highest for:
选项:
A.
XIU
B.
SPY
C.
EFA
解释:
An index that contains a large number of constituents will tend tocreate higher tracking error than one with fewer constituents. Based on thenumber of constituents in the three indexes (S&P/TSX 60 has 60, S&P 500has 506, and MSCI EAFE has 933), EFA (the MSCI EAFE ETF) is expected to havethe highest tracking error. Higher expense ratios (XIU: 0.18%; SPY: 0.10%; and EFA:0.33%) also contribute to lower excess returns and higher tracking error, whichimplies that EFA has the highest expected tracking error.
这里的数量是benchmark index里的个数吧?个数越多,越难模拟,TE越高。那这个和U shape是不是没关系?U shape应该是portfolio里的个数吧,越多的话考虑trading costTE越大?另外,有的题目在三种方法里选,选full replication条件是asset size sufficient还有liquid,是说要有钱且好交易对吧,那对于成分数量是不是适中比较好呢?
