问题如下:
The SH University Endowment is a very large tax-exempt fund financed from students’ tuition fee, with the current strategic asset allocations presented below.
The manager of Endowment forecast the expected excess return of each asset class. In order to capture the short-term return opportunities, the Endowment can:
选项:
A.increase the allocation of private equity to 15% and decrease the allocation of real estate to 5%.
B.increase the allocation of small-cap equities to 32% and decrease the allocation of large-cap equities to 38%
C.decrease the allocation of large-cap equities to 40% and increase the allocation of short-term bonds to 12%.
解释:
A is correct.
考点:tactical asset allocation
解析:应当增加excess return高的资产比重,降低excess return低的资产比重。但是权重变化不能超过target weight的上下限。
这是一家非常大的endowment 暗示资产规模可能很大,投资也很大, 现在他们要做TAA, TAA是short term deviation from SAA, 而A选项虽然买到了上下限,但是PE and real estate都是不容易在短期变现的资产,很可能想做TAA却因为illiquid 问题根本无法实现。
应该选C, 虽然没有买到上下限, 但是都是流动性较高的资产, 容易以更低的成本实现TAA目标。
