Discuss two reasons why the proposed asset allocation is inappropriate for Titan.
选项:
解释:
The proposed asset allocation for Titan is not appropriate because:
1 Given the shift in enrollment trends and declining donations resulting from the sanctions, Titan will likely need greater liquidity in the future because of the increased probability of higher outflows to support university operations. The proposed asset allocation shifts Titan’s allocation into risky assets (increases the relative equity holdings and decreases the relative bond holdings), which would introduce greater uncertainty as to their future value.
2 Titan is relatively small for the proposed addition of private equity. Access to such an asset class as private equity may be constrained for smaller asset owners, such as Titan, who may lack the related internal investment expertise. Additionally, the Sun-Fin Private Equity Fund minimum investment level is $1 million. This level of investment in private equity would be 10% of Titan’s total portfolio value. Given Titan’s declining financial position due to declining enrollments and its resulting potential need for liquidity, private equity at this minimum level of investment is not appropriate for Titan.
- Titan's market value is 10 million, view as small asset class. as small aseet class sonot have well goverance capacity, and no access to top manager, it cannot investing 10% in alternatives fund (Sun-Fin Private Equity), especially SUn-Fin private equity has fund minimum investment, it cannot build a well diversify portfolio.
- as a recent declining trend in enrollment is expected to continue, university overall budget will rely more on Ford-hart,
also, regulatory sanction and penalties are likely to result in lower donations, Ford-hart externatal inflow will decrease. both of these condition suggest Ford-hart need a higher liquidity, lower risk tolerance. so it cannot allocate that much in alternatives, which has highly illiquidy profile
