问题如下:
The monthly return on a hedge fund portfolio with USD 1 billion in assets is N(.02, .0003). What is the distribution of the gain in a month?
a. The fund has access to a USD 10 million line of credit that does not count as part of its portfolio. What is the chance that the firm’s loss in a month exceeds this line of credit?
b. What would the line of credit need to be to ensure that the firm’s loss was less than the line of credit in 99.9% of months (or equivalently, larger than the LOC in 0.1% of months)?
解释:
a. The monthly return is 2%, and the monthly standard deviation is 1.73%. In USD, the monthly change in portfolio value has a mean of 2% * USD 1 billion = USD 20 million and a standard deviation of 1.73% * USD 1 billion = USD 17.3 million. The probability that the portfolio loses more than USD 10 million is than (working in millions)
Using the normal table, Pr(Z<-1.73)=4.18%
b. Here we work in the other direction. First, we find the quantile where Pr(Z < z) = 99.9%, which gives z = -3.09. This is then scaled to the distribution of the change in the value of the portfolio by multiply-ing by the standard deviation and adding the mean, 17.3 * -3.09 + 20 = -33.46. The fund would need a line of credit of USD 33.46 million to have a 99.9% change of having a change above this level.
老师好,1、P(Z小于-1.73)的概率,通过网上查到的正态分布表,左列都是从0老师,没有负值,怎么查呢?
2、P(Z小于z)的概率是0.01,查表z等于-3.08,这种不是累计概率反函数?具体怎么查表呢?
