Based on Exhibit 2, the excess return of MultiFAK arising from active factor weighting is closest to:
选项:
A.0.04%.
B.0.25%.
C.0.28%.
解释:
Solution
A is correct. The excess return arising from active factor weights is 0.04%. Compare the weights between the portfolio and the index: The only two that differ are the weights for Low Volatility and Momentum. From the following table, the total contribution to the return caused by active sector weighting is the sum of
0.28% Overweighting Low Volatility + (–0.24%) Underweighting Momentum = 0.04% rounded.
Note that MultiFAK used fewer holdings for the Quality segment and, therefore, incurred active security selection risk—but not active factor risk since the Quality segment weight is the same as that of the index. Here is the full calculation:
0.036% rounds to 0.04%.
B is incorrect. Results of all active management are shown at the bottom of the Total Active Difference column of the table. This is the full attribution of the active segment overweights plus the result of the active security selection on the Quality segment.
C is incorrect. This is the value of the active overweight to the Low Volatility segment, but it excludes the active underweight to Momentum. See the Low Volatility row in the Factor Weight column of the table.
如果factor portfolio和benchmark 的return不一样,是不是就不能按答案这样算了?factor weighting就用benchmark?
