问题如下:
A hedge fund with net capital of GBP500 million has borrowed an additional GBP200 million at 4.5% per annum. The current-year return of the fund is 15%. What would have been the return if the fund had not added any leverage?选项:
A.10.70% B.12.00% C.19.20%解释:
rL= Leveraged portfolio return/Cash position = [r × (Vb +Vc) – (Vb × rb)]/Vc. Or, after re-arranging the formula, r= [(Vc × rL ) + (Vb × rb)]/(Vc + Vb) . Substituting rL= 0.15, Vb= 200, Vc= 500, rb= 0.045, r = (500 × 0.15) + (200 × 0.045)/(200 + 500) = 12%. Since leverage magnifies return when the borrowing cost is lower than asset returns, the unleveraged asset return must be lower than 15%.
(500+200)*rA=200*4.5%+500*15%,反解出rA=12%
麻烦老师讲解一下题目思路和用的公式,谢谢
