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.
看了之前的解答还是不明白为什么风险能被分享。“一旦收益被分享出去一部分,同时也是要承担投资风险的。现在收益被基金经理分走一部分,基金经理就要来一起承担投资风险,即risk sharing。风险小了,sigma波动就小”。
对于投资者和manager,sigma不是都一样的吗?
