Numerical Problems
Owrthe past five years,Fund X gneratedl an aneragemonthly return of 1.6%.The portfodio is bench matked totheRusell 1000and its betarelatiwe to the R10001s 1.16.Durlng the saime period,theR1000 had anawragemonthly return of 094%and the monthlyrisk-frcerate was 0.20%.
1.What arethe mouthly and ammal active return onFimd X?
2.Using CAPM as themodel for returns,what arethe monthly andanmalalpha onFundX? 3.Why is Fumd X's alpha les than its active return?
4.A marketneutral portfolio is one designed to be umcorrelated totheoguity market.This is achieved by chooslng weights so that the portfollo has abeta of zero.AQR operatesthe market neutral fund QMNIX Acording to CAPM,what is theappropriate beochmark for this fumnd?If the fund's awerage return is 5% anad the risk-teerate is 1%,what are the fand's act ive roturn and alpha?
5.The Fldelity FSLCX fiund hosan awrage returnof 13%,a tracking cror of 5%,and amn informatlon ratio of0.25.It's beochmark,the R2000,has a standad deviatioo of exots return equalto 22%.The
