问题如下:
Which of the following fee structures most likely decreases the volatility of a portfolio’s net returns?
选项:
A.Incentive fees only
Management fees only
Neither incentive fees nor management fees
解释:
A is correct.
Because incentive fees are fees charged as a percentage of returns (reducing net gains in positive months and reducing net losses in negative months), its use lowers the standard deviation of realized returns. Charging a management fee (a fixed percentage based on assets) lowers the level of realized return without affecting the standard deviation of the return series.
Management fees only的波动率不是应该最低吗?因为之收到fixed percentage of AUM,为什么答案选择Incentive。谢谢!
