According to the recommendations of Section D(2) of the Asset Manager Code,where possible, the CCO should be independent from the investment and operations personnel and should report directly to the CEO orthe board of directors.3、The strategy that is most likely to benefit from the environment described by Monts in Statement 3 is to:【单选题】A.rotate from consumer non-cyclical to consumer cyclical sectors.B.increase exposure to the crossover sector.C.shift the portfolio’s positions to shorter duration corporate bonds.正确答案:C答案解析:Curve-adjustment trades take place when the portfolio manager expects credit spreads will widen (either overall or in a particular sector). The specific strategy is to shift the portfolio’s exposure to shorten spread duration by selling longer maturity corporate bonds and buying shorter maturity bonds, which lowers the contribution to spread duration.4、Sigma can most likely reduce credit risk in its OTC derivatives positions by changing which of the following practices?【单选题】tingB.Frequency of marking to marketC.Limiting counterparty exposure正确答案:B答案解析:Sigma typically enters two-year contracts and doesnot mark to market until expiration of the contract. Increasing the frequency of the marking to market will decrease credit risk. When a contract is marked to market, the party for whom the contract has a positive value receives payment from the counterparty, thus eliminating credit risk. Consequently, more frequent marking to market decreases credit risk.5、Based on Exhibit 1, Kiest’s liabilities would be classified as:【单选题】A.Type I.B.Type II.C.Type III.正确答案:A答案解析:A is correct. Type I liabilities have cash outlays with known amounts and timing.

The after tax wealth accumulation for annually taxable income isFVIFi = [1 + r(1 – ti)]nFV = €250,000 × FVIFi = €250,000 × [1 + 0.065(1 – 0.10)]15= €586,5477、Based on Exhibit 1, which of the portfolios will best immunize SD&R’s single liability?【单选题】A.Portfolio 1B.Portfolio 2C.Portfolio 3正确答案:B答案解析:B is correct. In the case of a single liability, immunization is achieved by matching the bond portfolio’s Macaulay duration with the horizon date. DFC has a single liability of $500 million due in nine years.Portfolio 2 has a Macaulay duration of 8.9, which is closer to 9 than that of either Portfolio 1 or 3.Therefore, Portfolio 2 will best immunize the portfolio against the liability.8、Ng’s response to Kepler’s question about the most efficient portfolio management strategy should be:【单选题】A.full replication.B.active management.C.an enhanced indexing strategy.正确答案:C答案解析:C is correct. Under an enhanced indexing strategy, the index is replicated with fewer than the full set of index constituents but still matches the original index’s primary risk factors. This strategy replicates the index performance under different market scenarios more efficiently than the full replication of a pure indexing approach.9、Considering Zubov’s statements to the investment committee regarding Hoven University’s endowment, he is least likely correct with respect to:【单选题】A.liquidity need.B.total return objective.C.risk tolerance.正确答案:C答案解析:The endowment’s risk tolerance is low to moderate, not high, because the endowment’s contribution represents 25% of the university’s operating budget. Thus, a modest drop in the endowment’s value may have a significant impact on university operations. Another factor supporting a lower risk tolerance is the use of a simple spending rule. The absence of a smoothing rule means the endowment has less tolerance for short-termportfolio risk. Although a return objective of 7%–7.5% may ostensibly be used to support a higher risk tolerance, the risk of a short-term drawdown poses a much larger risk and thus, on balance, a low to moderate risk tolerance is more appropriate for the endowment.10、Are Pearson\\\\\\\\'s statements regarding the disadvantages of the historical method for estimating VaR most likely correct?【单选题】A.No, the second statement is not a disadvantage.B.No, the first statement is not a disadvantage.C.Yes.正确答案:B答案解析:The nonparametric feature of the historical method is an advantage, not a disadvantage. The historical method requires minimal probability-distribution assumptions compared with other methods.。

The initial margin requirement is set at $6.00 per contract and the maintenance margin is $3.60 per contract.On day 0, a trader enters into a short position for 15 contracts. The ending balance for the margin account on day 5 is closest to:【单选题】A.$15.B.$60.C.$210.正确答案:B答案解析:“Futures Markets and Contracts”, Don M. Chance,CFAOn day 0, the trader must deposit an initial margin of $90 (= $6 × 15). Subsequent gains and losses on the short position are reflected in the ending margin balance for the day. The ending balance on day 4 is $45, which is below the maintenance margin of $54 (= $3.60 × 15). On any day in which the amount of money in the margin account at the end of the day falls below the maintenance margin requirement, the trader must deposit sufficient funds to bring the balance back up to the initial margin requirement. Therefore, the trader must deposit $45 on day 5 to bring the margin balance up to $90. After reflecting a loss of $30, the ending balance on day 5 is $60.6、David Donnigan enrolled to take the Level II CFA examination in the current year, but he did not takethe exam.

MCAM\\\\\\\'s style has:【单选题】A.not drifted.B.drifted from value to growth.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.4、What is Kaplan’s after-tax accumulation after 20 years?【单选题】A.€196,438.B.€220,521.C.€230,521.正确答案:A答案解析:A is correct.

He will then sell the new securities in the next tax year. What is the total tax savings assuming DiCenzo does not reinvest the tax savings?【单选题】A.€0.B.€7,500.C.€15,000.正确答案:A答案解析:A is correct. Assuming DiCenzo does not reinvest the tax savings, tax loss harvesting does not reduce the total tax paid over time. It only defers taxes because recognizing the loss resets the cost basis to a lower figure which will ultimately increase the gain realized late by the same amount. Tax loss harvest can augment return by postponing tax liabilities. Reinvesting the current year’s tax savings increases the after-tax principal investment, which can augment the value of tax loss harvesting further.10、The yield curve expectation that Abram’s supervisor targets with Scenario 1 is most likely a:【单选题】A.flattening yield curve.B.reduction in yield curve curvature.C.100 bps parallel shift downward of the yield curve.正确答案:A答案解析:A is correct. Scenario 1 is an extreme barbell and is typically used when the yield curve flattens. In this case, the 30-year bond has larger price gains because of its longer duration and higher convexity relative to other maturities. If the yield curve flattens through rising short-term interest rates, portfolio losses are limited by the lower price sensitivity to the change in yields at the short end of the curve while the benchmark’s middle securities will perform poorly.。
CFA考试《CFA二级》历年真题精选及详细解析1007-41、If the US dollar were chosen as the functional currency for Acceletron in 2007, Redline could reduce its balance sheet exposure to exchange rates by:【单选题】A.selling SGD30 million of fixed assets for cash.B.issuing SGD30 million of long-term debt to buy fixed assets.C.issuing SGD30 million in short-term debt to purchase marketable securities.正确答案:A答案解析:A is correct. If the US dollar is the functional currency, the temporal method must be used, and the balance sheet exposure will be the net monetary assets of 125 + 230 – 185 – 200 = –30, or a net monetary liability of SGD30 million. This net monetary liability would be eliminated if fixed assets (non-monetary) were sold to increase cash. Issuing debt, either short-term or long-term, would increase the net monetary liability.2、In relation to Kostecka’s handling of the Jabbertalk stockrecommendation, which of the following CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct did he least likely violate?【单选题】A.Priority of TransactionsB.Fair Dealingmunication with Clients正确答案:B答案解析:B is correct. Standard III(B)–Fair Dealing requires members and candidates to deal fairly and objectively with all clients when providing investment analysis, making investment recommendations, taking investment action, or engaging in other professional activities. When Kostecka informs clients of the upcoming investment recommendation by Forkson, he has treated all clients fairly because this disclosure is provided to all of his current clients.A is incorrect because Kostecka has violated Standard VI(B)–Priority of Transactions. There is a potential conflict of interest because the client and the adviser hold the same stock, so the client should be given first priority to trade Jabbertalk.C is incorrect because according to Standard V(B)–Communication with Clients and Prospective Clients, Kostecka should have distinguished fact from opinion. In addition, Kostecka should also disclose to clients andprospective clients the basic format and general principles of the investment processes used to analyze investments, select securities, and construct portfolios and must promptly disclose any changes that might materially affect those processes and use reasonable judgment in identifying which factors are important to his investment analyses, recommendations, or actions and include those factors in communications with clients and prospective clients.3、Zhang\'s statement to support using the harmonic mean is best described as:【单选题】A.incorrect with respect to large outliers.B.incorrect with respect to small outliners.C.correct.正确答案:B答案解析:B is correct. Zhang’s statement is incorrect with respect to small outliers. The harmonic mean tends to mitigate the impact of large outliers. It may aggravate the impact of small outliers, but such outliers are bounded by zero on the downside.A is incorrect. The harmonic mean may aggravate the impact of small outliers, but such outliers are bounded by zero on the downside.C is incorrect. The harmonic mean may aggravate the impact of small outliers, but such outliers arebounded by zero on the downside.4、Based on the mean-reverting level implied by the AR(1) model regression output in Exhibit 1, the forecasted oil price for September 2015 is most likely to be:【单选题】A.4、Is Dua most likely correct with regard to the factors that drive demand for different commercial real estate property types?【单选题】A.No, he is incorrect about retail space.B.Yes.C.No, he is incorrect about industrial and warehouse space.正确答案:A答案解析:A is correct. Dua is correct about factors that drive demand for office space and industrial and warehouse space but incorrect about retail space. Employment growth drives demand for office space, while warehouse space demand depends broadly on economic strength. The level of import and export activity is more directly related to demand for industrial and warehouse space, not retail space. Demand for retail space depends on consumer spending, job growth, and economic strength.B is incorrect. Dua is correct about factors that drive demand for office space and industrial and warehouse spacebut incorrect about retail space.C is incorrect. Dua is correct about factors that drive demand for and industrial and warehouse space.5、Bickchip’s cash-flow-based accruals ratio in 2009 is closest to:【单选题】A.9.9%.B.13.4%.C.23.3%.正确答案:A答案解析:A is correct.

The historical three-year swap spread for Country B was the lowest six months ago. Swap spread is defined as the spread paid by the fixed-rate payer of an interest rate swap over the rate of the “on the run” (most recently issued) government bond security with the same maturity as the swap. The lower (higher) the swap spread, the lower (higher) the return that investors require for credit and/or liquidity risks.The fixed rate of the three-year fixed-for-floating Libor swap was 0.01% six months ago, and the three-year government bond yield was –0.08% six months ago. Thus theswap spread six months ago was 0.01% – (–0.08%) = 0.09%.One month ago, the fixed rate of the three-year fixed-for-floating Libor swap was 0.16%, and the three-year government bond yield was –0.10%. Thus the swap spread one month ago was 0.16% – (–0.10%) = 0.26%.Twelve months ago, the fixed rate of the three-year fixed-for-floating Libor swap was 0.71%, and the three-year government bond yield was –0.07%. Thus, the swap spread 12 months ago was 0.71% – (–0.07%) = 0.78%.8、Using the data in Exhibit 2, the portfolio’s annual 1% parametric VaR is closest to:【单选题】A.CAD 17 million.B.CAD 31 million.C.CAD 48 million.正确答案:B答案解析:B is correct. The VaR is derived as follows:VaR = [(e(rp) – 2.33σp)(–1)](Portfolio value)whereE(Rp) = Annualized daily return = (0.00026 × 250) = 0.065250 = Number of trading days annually2.33 = Number of standard deviations to attain 1% VaR<imgsrc="https:///bkwimg/up/201910/1025 1224ff09b79546919adff44ced35b5d9.png" alt="" width="613" height="50" title="" align="">Portfolio value = CAD260,000,000VaR = –(0.065 – 0.184571) × CAD 260,000,000= CAD31,088,4609、Confabulated’s reported interest income would be lower if the cost was the same but the par value (in € thousands) of:【单选题】A.Bugle was €28,000.B.Cathay was €37,000.C.Dumas was €55,000.正确答案:B答案解析:B is correct. The difference between historical cost and par value must be amortized under the effective interest method. If the par value is less than the initial cost (stated interest rate is greater than the effective rate), the interest income would be lower than the interest received because of amortization of the premium.10、Is his response to Scahill’s question regarding the impact of changes in interest rate volatility on the OAS of callable and putable bonds, Morgan is most likely:【单选题】A.incorrect about callable and putable bonds.B.correct about callable bonds and incorrect about putable bonds.C.correct about putable bonds and incorrect about callablebonds.正确答案:A答案解析:A is correct. Morgan’s response to Scahill is incorrect. As interest rate volatility declines, the embedded call option becomes cheaper; thus, the higher the arbitrage-free value (or model value) of the callable bond.Callable bond value = Value of straight bond – Value of call optionA higher value for the callable bond means that a higher spread needs to be added to one-period forward rates to make the arbitrage-free bond value equal to the market price (i.e., the OAS is higher). For putable bonds as interest rate volatility declines, the value of the put option declines as does the arbitrage-free value of the putable bond.Putable bond value = Value of straight bond + Value of put optionThis implies that a lower spread needs to be added to one-period forward rates to make the arbitrage free bond value equal to the market price. Thus, in this instance, the OAS is lower.B is incorrect. Morgan is correct about the impact on OAS for callable bonds.C is incorrect. Morgan is correct about the impact on OAS for putable bonds.。

CFA备考之CFA三级习题精选及解析CaseTartan Management is a hedge fund that uses derivatives in its portfolio. Tartan’s new directorof risk management, Jan Magnuson, is reviewing Tartan’s credit risk exposures. Tartan’s currentpolicy is to use a different counterparty for each derivative holding to limit its credit exposure toany single counterparty. Its current derivatives holdings are shown in Exhibit 1. All derivativesare over-the-counter (OTC) and are not subject to collateral requirements.A. Determine T artan’s total amount (in USD) at risk of credit loss from its derivativesportfolio under its current policy.(4 minutes)Magnuson considers whether Tartan’s credit risk in the event of a default could be reduced byusing a single counterparty with payment netting for all derivatives. The single counterpartywould be a different company than any of the three current counterparties.B. Discuss, based on Tartan’s current holdings, one positive effect and one negative effectthat payment netting with a single counterparty could have on Tartan’s credit risk.Note: Assume there is no difference in the cost of credit monitoring between the twoalternatives.(4 minutes)Magnuson wants to reduce the credit risk that Tartan might incur with derivative positions in thefuture. He asks his staff to research sources of credit risk. The staff recommends the followingfor Tartan:Recommendation 1: Use only currency futures rather than currency swaps.Recommendation 2: Buy OTC put options rather than write OTC call options.C. Determine whether each of the following recommendations would most likely achieveMagnuson’s objective of reducing credit risk:i. Recommendation 1ii. Recommendation 2Justify each response.(6 minutes)Reading References:#26 “Risk Management,” b y John L. Maginn, CFA, Donald L. Tuttle, CFA, Jerald E. Pinto,CFA, and Dennis W. McLeavey, CFA, editorsReading #26 LOS:The candidate should be able to:a. discuss features of the risk management process, risk governance, risk reduction, and anenterprise risk management system;b. evaluate strengths and weaknesses of a company’s risk management process;c. describe steps in an effective enterprise risk management system;d. evaluate a company’s or a portfolio’s exposures to financialand nonfinancial risk factors;e. calculate and interpret value at risk (VAR) and explain its role in measuring overall andindividual position market risk;f. compare the analytical (variance–covariance), historical, and Monte Carlo methods forestimating VAR and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each;g. discuss advantages and limitations of VAR and its extensions, including cash flow at risk,earnings at risk, and tail value at risk;h. compare alternative types of stress testing and discuss advantages and disadvantages ofeach;i. evaluate the credit risk of an investment position, including forward contract, swap,and option positions;j. demonstrate the use of risk budgeting, position limits, and other methods for managingmarket risk;k. demonstrate the use of exposure limits, marking to market, collateral, nettingarrangements, credit standards, and credit derivatives to manage credit risk;l. discuss the Sharpe ratio, risk-adjusted return on capital, return over maximum drawdown,and the Sortino ratio as measures of risk-adjusted performance; m. demonstrate the use of VAR and stress testing in setting capital requirements.Guideline Answer:Part AInterest Rate SwapThe total amount at risk of a credit loss is equal to the current market value of the swap, and is borne by the party with the positive market value, which is Tartan in this case.Credit risk to Tartan USD 56,000Forward contractThe total amount at risk of a credit loss is equal to the current market value of the contract, and is borne by the party with the positive market value, which is Tartan’s counterparty in this case.Credit risk to Tartan USD 0OptionThe total amount at risk of a credit loss is equal to the current market value of the option, and is borne by the party with the positive market value, the option buyer, which is Tartan in this case.Credit risk to Tartan = USD 487,000Total amount at risk of credit loss = USD 543,000Part BPositive effect:Payment netting with a single counterparty nets the positive and negative market values of all ofthe derivative positions into one net gain or loss.Based on Tartan’s current holdings shown in Exhibit 1, the total amount at risk of credit loss toTartan would be decreased under payment netting with a single counterparty because thenegative value of the forward contract (potential payment to the counterparty) would reduceTartan’s credit loss in the event of a default. Using the current values, the total amount at risk ofcredit loss would decrease to USD 318,000 from USD 543,000. The benefit of payment netting is Tartan’s ability to use the negative value of the forwardcontract to partially offset the credit risk of the other two contracts.Negative effect:Instead of its current policy, which spreads counterparty risk among several companies, Tartanwould face concentrated exposure to the default of a single counterparty.Many risk managers mandate specific maximum exposures to individual counterparties to ensurediversification and limit overall risk, should a counterparty default. Aggregating Tartan’s creditrisk with one counterparty would eliminate the benefits of diversification.Given Tartan’s current positions, the total amount at risk of credit loss would be smaller with asingle counterparty than it would be with three different counterparties, but the entire nettedposition would be at risk in the event of a default by that single counterparty.Part Ci. Recommendation 1 would achi eve Magnuson’s objective of reducing credit risk.Currency swaps have counterparty risk, as they are over-the-counter instruments, whereascurrency futures are exchange traded and have little or no counterparty risk because the exchangeguarantees fulfillment.ii. Recommendation 2 would not achieve Magnuson’s objective of reducing credit risk. Credit risk arises from any payments due from one party to the other. Further, credit risk with options is unilateral, meaning that the option holder (buyer) faces all the credit risk and the seller (writer) none. The party that is long the option (buyer) should receive payment from the seller if the option is in the money at expiration. During the life of the option, the buyer will have a positive market value on the option. Thus, the buyer has the credit risk of not receiving a potential payment at expiration. The seller receives a premium upfront but no payments at expiration, and therefore has no credit risk.。

解析1107-59
1、Ward is scheduled to visit the corporate headquarters of Evans Industries. Ward expects to use the information he obtains there to complete his research report on Evans stock. Ward learns that Evans plans to pay all of Ward’s expenses for the trip, including costs of meals, hotel room, and air transportation. Which of the following actions would be the best course for Ward to take under the Code and Standards?【单选题】
A.Accept the expense-paid trip and write an objective report.
B.Pay for all travel expenses, including costs of meals and incidental items.
C.Accept the expense-paid trip but disclose the value of the services accepted in the report.
正确答案:B
答案解析:The correct answer is B. The best course of action under Standard I(B)—Independence and Objectivity is to avoid a conflict of interest whenever possible. Therefore, for Ward to pay for all his expenses is the correct answer. Answer C details a course of action in which the conflict would be disclosed, but the solution is not as appropriate as avoiding the conflict of interest. Answer A would not be the best course because it would not remove the appearance of a conflict of interest; even though the report would not be affected by the reimbursement of expenses, it could appear to be.
