老师能翻译一下C选项吗?

NO.PZ2018011501000010

问题如下:

Another client, Lars Velky, represents Velky Partners (VP), a large institutional investor with $500 million in investable assets. Velky is interested in adding less liquid asset classes, such as direct real estate, infrastructure, and private equity, to VP’s portfolio.

In their discussion of the asset classes that Velky is interested in adding to the VP portfolio, Monteo should tell Velky that:

选项:

A.

these asset classes can be readily diversified to eliminate idiosyncratic risk.

B.

indexes are available for these asset classes that do an outstanding job of representing the performance characteristics of the asset classes.

C.

the risk and return characteristics associated with actual investment vehicles for these asset classes are typically significantly different from the characteristics of the asset classes themselves.

解释:

C is correct.

Less liquid asset classes—such as direct real estate, infrastructure, and private equity—represent unique challenges when applying many of the common asset allocation techniques. Common illiquid asset classes cannot be readily diversified to eliminate idiosyncratic risk, so representing overall asset class performance is problematic. Furthermore, there are far fewer indexes that attempt to represent aggregate performance for these less liquid asset classes than indexes of traditional highly liquid asset classes. Finally, the risk and return characteristics associated with actual investment vehicles—such as direct real estate funds, infrastructure funds, and private equity funds—are typically significantly different from the characteristics of the asset classes themselves.

考点:Less liquid asset class

解析:考查的是Less liquid asset class下的结论。

A选项说反了,流动性差的资产类型不能用来消除idiosyncratic risk(即非系统性风险),因为投资PE、房地产、infrastructure获得的超额收益来自于承担了额外的非系统性风险。所以非系统性风险不能通过投资 illiquid asset来消除。

B选项错误,这些流动性差的资产往往没有index,即使构建了index也不能很好的代表这个资产类型的业绩。

C选项正确, 由于illiquid asset流动性差,直接投资的可行性小,所以往往通过fund间接投资,于是投资这些fund和直接投资illiquid asset所获得的收益和风险差异较大。

没看懂哪一句说到fund投资了

嗨,努力学习的PZer你好:


没看懂哪一句说到fund投资了

--------

同学你好

题干说想投资诸如PE、direct real estate等流动性差的资产,这类资产最大的特点是几乎没有直接的二级市场报价,只能根据估值计算收益率,一般按月进行估值并计算收益率,用估值代替市场价格计算收益率与风险的最大的问题是平滑了收益率的波动,低估了风险。

比如,月初价格是1元,月末是1.2元,那么这个月持有收率是20%,人们一般倾向于认为收益率是一个线性的。但是,这个月价格可能从1元变动到0.7元,又变动到1.5元,最后回到1.2元,这种价格的真实波动所带来的风险,估值是反映不出来的。

明白了这个特点,我们来看C这个选项。

C说actual investment vehicles(真实投资)的risk 与return特征,与这类资产本身的risk与return特征是不一样的。

回到上面的例子,真实投资所表现出来的收益是我们观察到的从1元涨到1.2元,风险很小。而实际上,这个资产在这一个月产生了大幅的波动,这些波动并没有被估值抓住。这就是C选项表达的含义。


C选项也可以从另一个角度理解,就是答案说的less liquidity通过fund投资与直接投资所表现出的差异。

以投资房地产为例,投资房地产可采用直接买卖房产以及投资REITS两种方式,通过REITS投资并不能完全体现出房地产本身的收益和风险特征。原因是

1、直接买卖房地产计算收益用smooth data,房地产本身具有heterogeneity,variation in leverage,计算的return都是unleverage return。

2、计算的reits return是leverage return,因此,reits与房地产的return并不具有可比性。


综上,投资流动性差的资产表现出的收益风险特征,与这类资产本身的收益风险特征有很大区别。
