问一道题:NO.PZ2019122802000010

问题如下:

Jane Shaindy is the chief investment officer of a large pension fund. The pension fund is based in the United States and currently has minimal exposure to hedge funds. The pension fund’s board has recently approved an additional investment in a long/short equity strategy.

During a monthly board meeting, Shaindy discusses her updated market forecast for equity markets. Due to a recent large increase in interest rates and geopolitical tensions, her forecast has changed from one of modestly rising equities to several periods of non-trending markets. Given this new market view, Shaindy concludes that a long/short strategy will not be optimal at this time and seeks another equity-related strategy. The Fund has the capacity to use a substantial amount of leverage.

Determine the most appropriate equity-related hedge fund strategy that Shaindy should employ. Justify your response.

选项:

解释:

Shaindy should employ an equity market-neutral (EMN) equity strategy. Overall, EMN managers are more useful for portfolio allocation during periods of non-trending or declining markets. EMN hedge fund strategies take opposite (long and short) positions in similar or related equities having divergent valuations while attempting to maintain a near net zero portfolio exposure to the market. EMN managers neutralize market risk by constructing their portfolios such that the expected portfolio beta is approximately equal to zero. Moreover, EMN managers often choose to set the betas for sectors or industries as well as for common risk factors (e.g., market size, price-to-earnings ratio, and book-to-market ratio) equal to zero. Since these portfolios do not take beta risk and attempt to neutralize many other factor risks, they typically must apply leverage to the long and short positions to achieve a meaningful return profile from their individual stock selections.
EMN strategies typically deliver return profiles that are steadier and less volatile than those of many other hedge strategy areas. Over time, their conservative and constrained approach typically results in a less dynamic overall return profile than those of managers who accept beta exposure. Despite the use of substantial leverage and because of their more standard and overall steady risk/return profiles, equity market-neutral managers are often a preferred replacement for fixed-income managers during periods when fixed-income returns are unattractively low.

老师好!本题答案太长了,考试的可能没有那么多时间。可否请老师精简一下答案呢?

嗨,爱思考的PZer你好:


因为alternative当中都是各种策略,我们学的就是各种策略是如何进行构建的,所以一定要把策略如何构建的写出来,再然后就是根据题目来作答了,比如这个题目让我们选择一个equity strategy,总共由三个equity strategy吧,你就得把为什么写出来,那么之所以选EMN就是non-trending这个条件吧?所以这个也是必须要写的。其他什么优缺点不是这个题目要问的,就可以不用写了。

就算太阳没有迎着我们而来,我们正在朝着它而去,加油!
