问题如下:

The Epsilon Institute Case Scenario

The Epsilon Institute of Theoretical Physics is a non-profit corporation initially funded from government and private sources. Mitch Lazare is the chairman of the Investment Committee, which oversees the institute’s endowment fund, of which about $750 million is currently under active management. He is currently tasked with finding two additional investment managers to manage a portion of the actively managed funds and, along with his assistant, Brian Warrack, is reviewing the presentations made by several applicants.

John Fraser’s performance is the first that Lazare and Warrack review. Fraser’s fund is constructed with a discretionary approach using the four Fama–French factors; he uses the Russell 1000 Value Index as his benchmark. The most recent 10 years of performance data for both the fund and the benchmark are shown in Exhibit 1.

Exhibit 1

Fraser Fund and Benchmark Average Monthly Performance over the Past 10 years


As part of his evaluation of the applicants, Warrack compiles a record of the Active Share and active risk of the funds that they manage. He observes that the Mattley Fund has relatively high Active Share but relatively low active risk.

Lazare and Warrack make the following comments about Active Share and active risk in the context of a single-factor model:

  • The level of active risk will rise with an increase in idiosyncratic volatility.

  • The active risk attributed to Active Share will be smaller in more diversified portfolios.

  • If the factor exposure is fully neutralized, the Active Share will be entirely attributed to the active risk.

The manager of the Western Fund focuses on smaller companies in the Russell 1000 Value Index and uses the following constraints:

  • Size: The capitalization of the average company is $1.8 billion. On average, companies of this size trade 0.90% of their capitalization every day.

  • Liquidity: Positions can be no larger than 7% of average daily trading volume.

  • Allocation: Positions can be no larger than 1.75% of total assets under management.

  • Diversification: The portfolio must contain at least 60 securities.

If the manager of the Western Fund is hired by Epsilon, she will have $100 million of Epsilon’s funds to manage.

Lazare and Warrack turn their attention to the manager of the Herrick Fund, which is the only fund that involves substantial international exposure. Lazare believes that current political events in Country A may result in greater risk exposure than might be appropriate and wishes to investigate further.

The Herrick Fund manager provides them with the information in Exhibit 2, which they use to carry out a risk attribution analysis.

Question


The investment process indicated for the Fraser Fund is most likely designed around which of the following?

选项:

A.

A balanced exposure to known rewarded factors

B.

Research-based rules across a broad universe of securities

C.

The inclusion of non-financial variables, such as pricing power

解释:

C is correct. The discretionary investment process searches for active returns from firm-specific factors, such as pricing power and the competitive landscape. This process results in more concentrated portfolios reflecting the depth of the manager’s insights on firm characteristics and the competitive landscape. A systematic investment approach is likely to be designed around extracting premiums from a balanced exposure to known, rewarded factors and typically incorporates research-based rules across a broad universe of securities.

A is incorrect. A systematic investment approach is likely to be designed around extracting premiums from a balanced exposure to known, rewarded factors, whereas a discretionary approach usually searches for active return from firm-specific factors.

B is incorrect. A systematic investment approach is likely to be designed around research-based rules across a broad universe of securities, whereas a discretionary approach will involve managerial judgments on a smaller subset of securities.

中文解析:

这道题考查的是Systematic Discretionary策略的辨析。F基金使用的是Discretionary investment process 基于主观判断的选股策略,而AB描述的都是Systematic策略的特征,因此答案选C

Systematic策略是一个系统性策略,它的选股范围更阔,当策略定好,是电脑在很大的范围选股,这样选股策略会使得组合的风险敞口更加的均衡。而Discretionary策略,基于主观判断即用人脑来进行判断分析,劣势是可以分析的股票数量较少,但优势是对于每一只股票都可以进行深入的分析,除了常见的因子分析,Discretionary策略还可以对公司的竞争环境、定价权、商业模型、公司治理等因素建立更深入的理解。


从上面这个表格,C选项也没看出来The inclusion of non-financial variables, such as pricing power啊,只包含了4个Rewarded factors啊

1 个答案

嗨,努力学习的PZer你好:


Hello,亲爱的同学!

是从discretionary approach 推理出such as pricing power。


定位点是在原文这段,dscretionary approach,意思是主观基本面的方法。

A和B都是量化方法,也称为 systematic investment approach。

所以选C,主观基本面方法。


根据知识点,主观基本面方法会看non-financial variables, such as pricing power(公司的品牌定价能力)。因此选C。
