A few months later, Carson
receives a phone call from Hamidah. She’s now on the board of trustees of Artic
Foundation for Medical Research (AFMR). AFMR was established to support various
medical research initiatives. She is very excited and asks Carson to help
identify the return objective of AFMR’s portfolio. Osaka notes the following:
• AFMR’s overall
investment objective is to maintain its portfolio’s real purchasing power after
distributions.
• The risk-free
rate is 4.0%.
• An expected
inflation rate is 3.5%.
• The portfolio’s
standard deviation is 15.0%.
• The cost of
earnings investment returns is 50 bp.
• AFMR targets a
5.5% annual distribution of assets.
AFMR’s return objective is closest to: (2020 mock PM)
选项:
A.
9.50%
B.
9.74%
C.
10.27%
解释:
The calculation is (1.055) (1.035) (1.005) – 1 = 9.74%.
AFMR’s assets should be invested with the objective of earning a nominal average annual return of 9.74%. This level reflects a spending rate of 5.5%, an expected inflation rate of 3.5% and a 50 bp cost of earning investment returns.
为什么不是3.5+0.5+5.5=9.5?一般做题时都直接用加法,很少用乘法,是否每次都要先试试乘法算的答案有没有再看加法?那么若遇到简答题,是否应该用乘法?
