A total of 38 minutes is allocated to these questions. Candidates should answer these questions in the order presented.QUESTION 1 HAS TWO PARTS (A, B) FOR A TOTAL OF 15 MINUTES.Robert Becker, age 75, retired 5 years ago from the building products business that he founded. After his business, Buildco, went public in the 1990’s, he remained as CEO and continued to hold shares in the company. After his wife’s death, Becker hires Emily Frost, a portfolio manager and trust specialist, to help with his estate planning. Becker establishes a revocable trust and an irrevocable trust.Income, realized capital gains, and estate assets (at death) are all taxed at a flat 20% rate. For the revocable trust, the cost basis of investments increases to the market value on the date of Becker’s death, and the assets are subject to estate taxes. For the irrevocable trust, the cost basis of investments does not change, and the assets are not subject to estate taxes.Currently, the two trusts each have 2.0 million U.S. dollars (USD) of their assets in Buildco shares, with a cost basis of USD 200,000 each. All Buildco shares have unrealized capital gains. Becker has the following two immediate objectives as part of his estate planning:Objective 1: Sell USD 1.0 million of Buildco shares while minimizing total taxes.Objective 2: Put additional assets into a trust to protect those assets from potentialfuture legal claims against Becker.A.Determine which trust (irrevocable, revocable, or both equally) is more appropriate foreach objective:i.

That’swhat an investor gets with bonds.2Frost:Becker:I notice you hold a significant position in Rolling Mix Cement shares.Rolling Mix Cement’s CEO used to run the western operations forBuildco.

So I boughtall of them: an EAFE large-cap fund, a U.S. growth fund, a U.S. small-cap fund, and a U.S. corporate bond fund.4Frost:Becker: I notice you have many portfolio positions where the current values have been below cost for awhile.Investing requires patience.

Robert Becker recently died and left his estate to his only child, Michael. Michael and his wife are both 50 years old and have no children. Michael expects to receive his after-tax inheritance of 8.0 million U.S. dollars (USD) at the end of this year. The Beckers both plan to retire at that time, and are meeting with Emily Frost to help them establish an investment plan.The Beckers currently do not have an investment portfolio and they own a home valued atUSD 3.7 million. At the end of this year, the Beckers’ outstanding debt will be USD 3.5 million (home mortgage) and USD 150,000 (consumer debts). The Beckers will pay off their mortgage and their consumer debts soon after the inheritance is received.The Beckers currently have a combined after-tax salary of USD 475,000, current-year living expenses of USD 250,000, plus annual mortgage payments (principal + interest) ofUSD 225,000. Michael’s company pension will pay him USD 48,000 after-tax next year, and then payments will grow at the rate of inflation, which is expected to be 3% annually. His employer will continue to pay all of the Beckers’ medical costs until death. Both the pension and health benefits will continue to accrue to Becker’s wife, if he dies first. The Beckers expect their living expenses will also continue to grow at the rate of inflation until one of them dies. At that time, they expect the survivor’s living expenses will decrease to 75% of their combined expenses, and then continue to grow at the rate of inflation.The Beckers intend to fund their living expenses with Michael’s pension and investment income generated from their investable assets, which do not include their home. The Beckers consider their investment base to be large, and want their portfolio to be invested conservatively. They want to maintain the real value of their investable assets over time, and plan to leave their estate to charity. All income and realized capital gains are taxed at 20%.A. Calculate the after-tax nominal rate of return required for the Beckers’ first year ofretirement. Show your calculations.(8 minutes)B. Discuss two factors specific to the Beckers’ situation that decrease their risk tolerance.(4 minutes)C. Formulate each of the following constraints for the Beckers’ investment policystatement (IPS):i.liquidityii.time horizon(4 minutes)Several years later, the Beckers again meet with Frost. Their investable portfolio is now valued at USD 7.0 million. The Beckers state that their primary goal is to maintain their current living standard as long as they live. The Beckers also want to leave a charitable gift of at leastUSD 5.0 million from their investable assets after they have both died. However, they are not willing to risk running out of money in their old age to achieve this secondary goal. The Beckers agree with Frost to assume a 25-year time horizon.Frost produces Monte Carlo simulations for the Beckers using two portfolios with different asset allocations. The simulations use a long series of historical index data for each asset class in the two portfolios. The resulting distributions of terminal values are shown in Exhibit 1. All terminal values are after expected taxes and spending needs have been met.Exhibit 1Monte Carlo Simulation ResultsProjected Portfolio Terminal Values at 25 YearsPercentileTerminal Values(USD thousands) Portfolio A Portfolio B95th17,808 35,81490th11,916 21,72975th9,192 14,45450th4,896 8,81325th2,154 5,01610th294 05th39 0D. i.

WU is a private university with annual operating expenses of 150.0 million U.S. dollars (USD). WU has an endowment currently valued at USD 750.0 million. Bergen gathers the following information about WU and its endowment:•The WU endowment’s primary goal is to maintain the real value of its assets over the long term.•The WU endowment’s secondary goal is to continue to fund 25% of WU’s annual operating expenses, by means of its spending rule.○Tuition and grants fund the remainder of the annual operating expenses.○As a private institution, WU receives no government financial support.•The WU endowment:○uses a simple spending rule with a 5% annual spending rate based on the endowment’s beginning-of-year market value.○receives private donations and uses these donations, in part, for itsliquidity needs.○evaluates its investment managers based on the endowment’s three-yearaverage annual return.○forecasts the inflation rate of WU’s operating expenses to be equal to the growth rate of the Higher Education Price Index (HEPI), which isexpected to be 4% annually.○has an annual 0.55% management expense rate.A.i.Formulate the return objective for the WU endowment.ii.

Formulate each of the following constraints for the WU endowment’s investment policystatement (IPS):i.liquidityii.time horizon(4 minutes)A year has passed since Bergen’s initial review. Due to significant losses in the market value of the portfolio, the WU endowment now provides less than 25% of WU’s operating expenses. In addition, donations have declined. The investment committee asks Bergen to propose measures to maintain the long-term real value of the endowment, and reduce the volatility of the endowment’s funding of WU’s operating expenses. In response, Bergen suggests the following strategic actions:Strategic action 1: Decrease the endowment’s spending rate.Strategic action 2: Adopt a rolling three-year average spending rule, based on theendowment’s beginning-of-year market value for the last threeyears.Strategic action 3: Revise the portfolio’s asset allocation to decrease its risk.D. Determine which one of Bergen’s strategic actions is:i. least likely to assist the endowment in achieving its primary goal.ii. most likely to reduce the volatility of the endowment’s funding of WU’s operating expenses.Justify each response with one reason.Answer Question 3-D in the Template provided on page 22.(6 minutes)Bergen’s other institutional client, SU, is a growing public university. SU has an annual operating budget of USD 210.0 million. The SU endowment is currently valued atUSD 700.0 million. Bergen gathers the following information about SU and its endowment: •The SU endowment’s primary goal is to maintain the real value of its assets over the long term.•The SU endowment’s secondary goal is to continue to fund SU’s annualoperating budget shortfall (currently 10% of the operating budget), so long asthat does not violate its spending rule.○90% of SU’s operating budget is funded by government funding andtuition, and this is expected to continue.Page 18 Level III •The SU endowment:○funds SU’s operating budget shortfall, but caps its contribution at itsspending maximum.○has a spending maximum that is 5% of the average of the last threeyears’ beginning-of-year market value.○has experienced significant growth in private donations over the last10 years.○evaluates its investment managers based on the endowment’s six-yearaverage annual return.○forecasts the inflation rate of SU’s operating budget at 1 percentagepoint below the growth rate of the HEPI. The HEPI is expected to growat 4% annually.E.

Daniel Wallbank is the chief investment officer of a large global asset management firm. He is considering equity investments in a specific developing country. His primary concern is to determine the intrinsic value of that country’s broad equity index relative to its current market value. Wallbank asks the firm’s market strategist, Judy Shipp, to assist him with the valuation process.Shipp suggests using the Cobb-Douglas production function, under the assumption of constant returns to scale, to model the growth in real economic output. Her previous research shows that, over the long term and in a developing country, the growth rate of corporate earnings and dividends, adjusted for inflation, should closely track the growth of real gross domestic product (GDP). Her research on this country provides the projections shown in Exhibit 1.Exhibit 1Country Projections (2011 – 2025)Average annual growth in total factor productivity (TFP) 2.8%Average annual growth in capital stock 3.6%Average annual growth in labor input 2.2%Average unemployment rate 2.0%Output elasticity of capital 0.4A.Calculate the projected average annual real GDP growth rate using the Cobb-Douglasproduction function and the information in Exhibit 1. Show your calculations.(4 minutes)Shipp tells Wallbank that the Cobb-Douglas projection of GDP growth may be affected by two actions the country’s government is considering:Action 1: Issue new regulations to reduce environmental pollution by manufacturers.Action 2: Decrease the minimum retirement age by three years for all workers.B.Determine the initial effect (increase, decrease, or no change) each action would mostlikely have on the country’s GDP growth trend. Justify each response with one reason.Note: No calculations are required. Consider each action independently.Answer Question 4-B in the Template provided on page 28.(6 minutes)Shipp compiles the data to estimate the intrinsic value of the country’s broad equity index. The current annual dividend for the index is 10.00 U.S. dollars (USD). She assumes the initial dividend growth rate is 6.0% and that over 15 years the dividend growth rate will decline linearly by a total of 50%. The assumed discount rate to perpetuity is 5.5%.Page 26 Level III C. Calculate the country’s broad equity index price level implied by the H-Model. Showyour calculations.(4 minutes)Shipp tells Wallbank there are two alternative models that can be used to determine the fair value of an equity market. These models are the Fed Model and the Yardeni Model. She compiles the data in Exhibit 2 to use with these two models.Exhibit 2Capital Market Data10-year government bond yield 4.05%10-year A-rated corporate bond yield 4.70%Forward broad equity index earnings yield 3.95%Consensus long-term earnings growth forecast 7.50%Weighting factor, d 0.10After listening to Shipp explain the differences between the two models, Wallbank questions the use of the Fed Model, since it excludes important factors that the Yardeni Model includes.D. Identify one factor that is excluded from the Fed Model, but is included in the YardeniModel. Discuss whether the Yardeni Model accurately addresses that factor.(3 minutes)E.

She worked as an equity analyst for10 years, but lost her job during a recent bear market. Finnegan’s compensation was highly correlated with equity market returns and she expects this will be true for the rest of her working life. She continues to manage her personal portfolio of European equities and bonds, currently valued at 300,000 euros (EUR). Finnegan optimizes and rebalances her portfolio using mean-variance optimization (MVO). Her current allocation is 70% equities and 30% fixed income, including cash. In managing her portfolio, she has been dissatisfied with the frequency of rebalancing required and the amount of transaction costs incurred.Finnegan has a variable-rate mortgage on her home. If she fails to make her mortgage payments for three months, she risks losing her home. Finnegan does not want to sell assets in her investment portfolio to pay her monthly mortgage payments. She hopes to find a new job before her cash is depleted. Because she is unemployed, her effective tax rate is currently very low, but will increase significantly once she finds a new job.Finnegan seeks advice on her asset allocation approach from Seamus Welch, a portfolio manager with her former employer. Finnegan tells Welch that she had above-average risk tolerance while she was employed. She now thinks she has below-average risk tolerance until she finds a new job. She also explains that if she starts a new job within the year, she intends to make a deposit of EUR 30,000 on a home for her physically disabled sister. This deposit would be funded by liquidating some assets. Finnegan tells Welch that, as an analyst, she covered European clothing retailers. She continues to maintain a positive view on many firms in this sector and she would like to incorporate these views into her investment strategy.Welch suggests to Finnegan that, based on her circumstances, the standard MVO process can be improved upon by using a resampled efficient frontier, the Black-Litterman approach, or a Monte Carlo simulation.A. Explain, compared to the standard MVO process, and based on Finnegan’scircumstances:i.two advantages of using a resampled efficient frontier.ii.one advantage of using the Black-Litterman approach.iii.two advantages of using a Monte Carlo simulation.(10 minutes)Welch explains to Finnegan that she is currently following an asset-only (AO) approach to strategic asset allocation. He strongly advises her to adopt an asset/liability management (ALM) approach.B. Discuss three reasons, based on Finnegan’s circumstances, why an ALM approach wouldbe more appropriate than an AO approach.(6 minutes)Welch also suggests that Finnegan consider her human capital in the asset allocation process. He believes that Finnegan should reduce her allocation to equities at this time.C.Discuss two reasons, based on her human capital, why Finnegan’s current allocation toequities should be lower.(4 minutes)ANY MARKS MADE ON THIS PAGE WILLNOT BE GRADEDTHIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK ANY MARKS MADE ON THIS PAGE WILLNOT BE GRADEDLevel III Page 41 QUESTION 6 HAS THREE PARTS (A, B, C) FOR A TOTAL OF 19 MINUTES.David Andrews, a fixed income portfolio manager at SM Capital, is meeting with a defined benefit pension fund client. The client has asked Andrews to match the dollar duration of its government bond portfolio to the dollar duration of its liability benchmark. Because of the nature of the liabilities, the duration of the liability benchmark remains constant. At the beginning of the current year, the bond portfolio’s dollar duration was equal to the dollar duration of the liability benchmark. At the end of each year, the manager is required to rebalance the portfolio so that the dollar duration of the assets again matches the dollar duration of the liability benchmark, while keeping the portfolio proportions of each bond unchanged. Andrews gathers the data in Exhibit 1 to prepare for rebalancing.Exhibit 1Pension Fund Government Bond PortfolioEnd of Year Beginning of YearPrice Duration Price DurationBond 1 94.00 4.3 94.50 4.9Bond 2 93.00 6.3 90.00 7.0Bond 3 102.00 5.0 103.50 5.5Note: Each bond has a total par value of 1 million U.S. dollars (USD).Bond prices are shown as a percentage of par.A.Calculate for the pension fund’s government bond portfolio:i.the rebalancing ratio.ii.the amount of cash required for rebalancing.Show your calculations.(7 minutes)Jim Wang, another portfolio manager at SM Capital, actively manages a fixed income portfolio that invests in a particular region of Europe. The firm’s chief economist just released her forecast for this region. Contrary to market expectations, she forecasts the following: •Consumer confidence will increase.•Unemployment will fall.•Short-term interest rates will remain unchanged, while long-term rates will increase by 200 basis points.•Corporate defaults will decrease substantially.Wang’s benchmark index contains three sectors of investment-grade corporate bonds. Relative to his benchmark index, Wang may alter his sector weights, credit quality, and duration. He isPage 42 Level III restricted to investing in investment-grade bonds, and only in the three sectors included in the benchmark index.

C.Yes, for lock-up periods only.
正确答案:A
答案解析:A is correct. Contrary to Northrup’s comment, fund of funds usually do not impose lock-up periods (or minimum initial holding period) and their fees are higher as investors paytwo layers of fees: one to the FOF and the other to the underlying hedge fund managers.
5、Based on the data in Exhibit 2, modifying the duration of the fixed-income allocation to its target will require an interest rate swap that has notional principal closest to:【单选题】
3、Based on Exhibits 2 and 3, what can Smith most likely determine about MCAM's investment style over time? MCAM's style has:【单选题】
A.not drifted.
B.drifted from value to growth.
A.$11,030,000.
B.$17,777,000.
C.$9,412,000.
正确答案:A
答案解析:where; NP = notional principalB = bond portfolioMDURt = duration target of portfolioMDURb = duration of bond portfolioMDURs = duration of swap
C.drifted from growth to value.
正确答案:C
答案解析:The active equity strategy was not value oriented because the returns-based style analysis indicates a growth orientation given a 0.65 coefficient of determination with respect to growth returns. The current holdings, however, depict a value orientation when compared with the manager's normal benchmark given the differences in dividend yield and P/E. MCAM's style has drifted over time from growth to value.
