问题如下:
Assume that a hedge fund provides a large positive alpha. The fund can take leveraged long and short positions in stocks. The market went up over the period. Based on this information,
选项:
A.If the fund has net positive beta, all of the alpha must come from the market.
B.If the fund has net negative beta, part of the alpha comes from the market.
C.If the fund has net positive beta, part of the alpha comes from the market.
D.If the fund has net negative beta, all of the alpha must come from the market.
解释:
C is correct. Because the market went up, a portfolio with positive beta will have part of its positive performance due to the market effect. A portfolio with negative beta will have in part a negative performance due to the market. Answer a. is incorrect because the fund manager could still have generated some of its alpha through judicious stock picking. Answers b. and d. are incorrect because a negative beta combined with a market going up should lead to a negative, not positive, return.
