问题如下:
(2) Recommend a new investment approach based for the Whatsit’s pension plan that is most likely to outperform the market. Justify your response and identify one advantage and one disadvantage of this approach.
选项:
解释:
Whatsit should use the endowment model.
Justification (either two of these is acceptable):
Long time horizon
High risk tolerance
Relatively small liquidity needs
Stuart’s experience with external managers to help with investment
Advantage:
Ability to capture alpha and outperform the market over a long-time horizon, that is, high value-added potential.
Disadvantages (either one of these is acceptable):
The endowment model is costly because of high alternative exposure, active management and outsourcing compared to a passive approach.
Difficult to implement if fund has large asset size.
请问一下老师,为什么不能这么理解呢:
因为case中提到,这个单位on the verge of becoming underfunded,我理解应该避免管理费用高的approach,同时case开头提到Stuart has significant experience with pension plans and an extensive knowledge of external managers,说明internal的方式是可行的,所以相比于endowment model,Canadian model更合适
