CFA三级行为金融学重难点解析

CFA三级行为金融学重难点解析

三级行为金融学重难点解析:个人行为偏差在行为金融学中,区分各类不同个人行为偏差是考试的重点,对于这些偏差的学习,要在理解的基础上,知道这些偏差对投资决策的影响以及弥补的办法。

在本文中,我们将逐个介绍各个行为偏差。

个人行为偏差可分为两类:1. 认知错误(cognitive errors):由于投资者在信息的接收、处理过程中出现的偏差.a)信任忠诚偏差(belief perseverance bias):信念忠诚是指人们一旦形成某一信念和判断以后,人们就会表现出对它的忠诚和信任,从而不再关注其他相关的信息,比如,一旦一个公司认为某个投资项目比其他项目利润丰厚这个信念之后,该信念就会在一定的时间内一定程度上左右着该公司的决策和判断,从而暂时屏蔽了其他有关该投资项目利润发展变化方面的信息.i. 保守偏差(conservation bias):。

投资者不能及时根据变化了的情况修正自己的预测模型,错误地对价格变化外推,导致股价过度反应(over—reaction).ii. 确认偏差(confirmation bias):投资者会过分地关注那些能支持自己结论的信息而忽视那些不支持自己结论的信息。

iii。

代表性偏差(Representativeness bias):人们会根据过去的传统和相似的情况,对事件分类,在判断概率时会根据经验判断事件的概率而忽略其他的因素。

其缺陷在于过分强调将事物划分的典型类别,而不关注潜在的其它可能证据。

例如,由于“代表性偏差"的存在使投资者对过去的输者组合表现出过度悲观,而对赢者组合过度乐观.iv. 控制错觉偏差(illusion of control bias):投资者认为他们能控制市场,而实际上不能。

v。

后市偏差(hindsight bias):在一件事情发生以后,人们往往会夸大自己的信念,这就是事后聪明偏差。

比如,某政治家当选以后,很多人会说这早就在他们的预料之中.事后聪明偏差的产生主要是由于人们对有关某事件发生与否的信息不充分.在该事件发生以后,当事人很简单地就将这些有限的信息与最终的结局相联系。

CFA三级考试应该从何复习

CFA三级考试应该从何复习

全球最大的CFA(特许金融分析师)培训中心总部地址:上海市虹口区花园路171号A3幢高顿教育电话:400-600-8011网址: 微信公众号:gaoduncfa 1CFA 三级考试应该从何复习三级最好的强化方法并不是去练习写作 ,而是熟悉IPS 的固定模式 :Objective:(return, risk),Constraints:(liquidity, legal, time horizon, tax, unique.)牢记以前考题和 notes 习题的标准答案,可以细化到每个常用的关键词。

要知道评分时 CFA 协是不会因语法错误和拼写错误扣分,只要您让他看懂关键的判断和计算逻辑即得分;这样准备结合正确理解题意,效果会很好。

CFA 三级考试从出题比重上看侧重投资组合管理(Portfolio management),由于传统的资产定价理论(Asset valuation)在三级有很大一部分也包括在投资组合管理中,故 Portfolio Management 的实际比重超过50%,是三级考试的重头戏,这跟一二级是有本质区别的,但是每一部分之间又互相联系,中间又各有难点和重点。

如前所述,IPS 的撰写是关键,要达到标准化,快速反应化,坦率地说这部分难度不大,要求的是熟悉程度,考试时阅读的量大,要求阅读理解速度快。

Performance Evaluation 有些公式挺绕,要结合习题理解记忆,GIPS 在三级中是包括在 Portfolio Management ,记忆量也巨大,主要的考法是要您找出不符点。

可以说,Portfolio management 掌握好了等于三级考试成功了一半。

Asset valuation 中的 Fixed income 和 Derivatives 是公认难度最大的,其中 Fixed income 有专门的指定课本,建议大家看下, 其中的 immunization, cash flow matching, controlling interest risk, hedging mortgage securities,credit derivatives 等都是有相当深度的;Derivatives 中的 option strategy 要结合模型图来记忆,比如 bull spread strategy, bear spread strategy, straddle strategy, butterfly spread strategy, collar strategy 都很费解,very exhausting 要下些功夫。

Of prudence apply in Legal/Reg.Prudent Expert : DB/DC planPrudent Investor : Endowment, Life InsurancePrudent Man Rule: the requirement that a trustee, investment manager of pension funds, treasurer of a city or county, or any fiduciary (a trusted agent) must only invest funds entrusted to him/her as would a person of prudence, i.e. with discretion, care and intelligence. Prudent Man Rule requires that each investment be judged on its own merits. Under the Prudent Man Rule, speculative or risky investments must be avoided. investments aren't viewed in a portfolio context.Prudent Expert Rule: Revised version of the prudent man rule required by ERISA to guide managers of pension and profit sharing portfolios. The main addition is that the manager must act as someone with familiarity with matters relating to the management of money, not just prudence.Prudent Investor rule: This is a modified version of Prudent Man Rule in that it views asset allocation from a portfolio context. An asset (like derivatives) may be too risky to invest if considered on astand-alone basis but can provide diversification benefits if viewed in a portfolio context.Life insurance companies' RETURN objective : APEG(Actuarial + Positive interest rate spread + Enhance Margin + Growth Surplus)An investor whose decisions are impacted by mental accounting will look at investments as separate, focusing on the risk of investments in isolation.According to behavioral finance, expert forecasters are overconfident in their forecasting ability due to cognitive dissonance.Cognitive dissonance states that individuals will avoid information (reflecting what has been actually experienced) that is in disagreement (dissonance) with the individual’s perceived ability of himself or herself. As a result, experts will have limited recollection of their failures.Frame dependence refers to investors' tendency to frame their tolerance on the current direction ofthe market or in the context of the information received rather than on its own merits.Anchoring refers to the inability to fully incorporate (adjust) the impact of new information on projections.Representativeness can cause investors’ perceptions to be based upon current or historical information rather than unbiased expectations resulting in overpriced “winners” underperforming and underpriced “losers” outperforming as prices retur n to their intrinsic values.If someone developed her investment style through trial and error, learning from her own mistakes. This is a sign of heuristic-driven bias.Behavioral finance assumes that:1.investors are loss averse, which means they prefer uncertain losses to certain losses.2.investors exhibit biased expectations, due to overconfidence in their ability to forecast the future.3.investors construct portfolios via asset segregation, meaning that they tend to focus on an asset’s individual investment features versus its impact on the overall portfolio positionBy admitting his mistake but reiterating other projections, one used the "single predictor" defense.Feeling that they should spread out their risk, but not knowing how leads to the 1/n diversification heuristic. Often times, participants will only have a rough understanding of the effects of correlation and diversification and will simply divide their assets equally over the investment options in the plan in an attempt diversify their portfolio.DC participants tend to hold excess stock of the company they work for due to familiarity and a perceived endorsement by management.The endorsement effect refers to the misconception that by offering an investment as an alternative, the sponsor is implicitly endorsing it as a good investment.Note that the status quo bias refers to a lack of action on the part of the participant. Also note that putting too much in company stock would be an example of an investor being “boundedly selfish” in that there does not seem to be a determination if the investment would be in the investor’s best interests.Trial and error and experimentation are heuristic learning processes. Heuristic learners pick up information simply, through their own efforts or from sources simple to access. They don't do research. When overconfident investors revise their forecasts based on new information, they tend to overestimate the impact. As an overconfident investor, one will be disappointed by the subsequent movements in Bison stock because of her initial overoptimism after the earnings announcement.Investors who use anchoring tend to underestimate the impact of new information because they are anchored in their old beliefs. One will be pleased by the subsequent movements in stock because hewill have initially underestimated the impact of the positive earnings announcement.Bank Security Portfolio Return Objs. – I Remember Living In CR – Interest Rate risk, Liquidity, Income, Credit RiskCME Form Process –Forming Expectations Needed Historically Provided Capital Managers Many Incentives & Gratifying Invitations Into Overlooking Market ExpectationsMade Rashly - Find Expectations Needed, Historical Performance, ChooseMethods/Models/Info, Get Info, Interpret Output, Make Expectations, Monitor &RefinePsych Traps –Overconfident Chief Executives Start Quietly Piling Risk– Overconfidence, Confirming Expectations, Status Quo, Prudence, RecallibilityBRIC-Size of BRIC economies could be >1/2 that of the G6 by 2025, and could surpass the G6 by 2040-India's growth is strongest at 5% for next 30-50 years-Global spending for BRICs - 4x as large as G6 by 2050-Real exchange rates for BRIC countries could strengthen by 300% by 2050-Slowest to open economy: India-Weaker tech progree: Brazil & India-Most rapidly aging: China & Russia-China's economy could overtake Germany in next 4 years, Japan by 2015, and US by 2039-India's economy could be larger than all but US & China in 30 years-BRIC per capita income will remain below G6 (except Russia)Factors that lead to growth-Technological progress-Growth in capital stock-Employment GrowthConditions for Sustained Economic Growth-Macroeconomic stability-institutional efficiencies-open trade-worker educationWhy Emerging Markets in a Portfolio?Increased growth in markets = increased demand for capital = stonger currency values = increased market caps which further justifies inclusion in a well diversified portfolioWhen evaluating a specific country, are the following good or bad signs?1.

Benefits - easy/cheap to implement and understand, only 1 output given.Negatives - requires a large amount of estimated input data, static approach (one iteration), canresult in concentrations due to the way the optimization works.Resampled Mean Variance: basically runs a bunch of Mean Variance optimizations based on different assumptions and averages the results to get an optimizes portfolio.Benefits - more optimizations result in better diversification and a more stable efficient frontier. Negatives - no mathematical rationale behind doing this method, still a static approach, relies on estimates.Black-Litterman: Starts with the market portfolio and backs out the expected returns, risk premiums, covariances, etc implied by market prices, assuming market equilibrium. From there a Mean-Variance optimization is run using those inputs to generate an efficient frontier.Benefits - high level of diversification, overcomes weakness of MV which is the variability of estimated returns.Negatives - static approach, difficult to estimate returns.Monte Carlo Simulation: Computer generated iterative process that incorporates different input variables (contributions/withdrawals, taxes, capital market factors, etc) to generate a range of possible outcomes.Benefits - multiple output = not a static approach, incorporates compounding and other relevant information, generates a distribution of returns instead of a single prediction.Negatives - complex and expensive to generate, still relies on the accuracy of input data. Microperformance Attribution:Pure Sector Allocation: (Wp - Wb)*(Rbj - Rb) - did the manager underweight underperforming sectors and overweight outperforming sectors. So you compare his weightings to the benchmarks and then compare the sector return in the benchmark to the overall return of the benchmark.Security Selection: Wb*(Rp - Rb) - Ignoring differences in weightings, did the manager do a better job at picking securities with each sector than if he replicated the sector securities from the benchmark. Allocation Selection: (Wp - Wb)*(Rp - Rb) - interaction of the prior two, did the manger overweightthe sectors where he was a better stock picker and underweight those where he wasn't.1. the question usually sets out a table showing the corner portfolios in order - usually starting from the highest risk/reward at the top - so it's easy to pick the right section (between 2 corners) that meets the return and risk objectives CORNER PORTFOLIOS2. when it comes to interpolating the point on the straight line between the 2 selected corners - the trick is in the exact wording of the targets in the IPS:- if the IPS sets a MINIMUM return goal (eg "at least 10%") and a fixed risk goal (eg "10% st.dev" or variance) then start with the stated RISK target and interpolate the portfolio return.- but if the IPS sets a single return goal (eg "10%") and a MAXIMUM risk goal (eg "no more than 10% st.dev") - then start with the stated RETURN target and interpolate the portfolio risk.3. only use lend/invest along the capital allocation line if the table has a risk-free asset in it, and there are other hints - eg if the IPS says that the investor considers the Sharpe ratio to be a primary measure. In that case - pick the portfolio with the higest sharpe, then lend (invest) at the RFR (which will be given) to move down to the target return or risk goal - then interpolate the risk and return in the total portfolio. This will be more efficient than any corner or straight section.Interest Rate Calls:In 40 days, a firm plans to borrow $5 million for 180 days.The borrowing rate is LIBOR plus 300 b.p.Current LIBOR is 5%.The firm buys a call that matures in 40 days with a NP of $5 million, 180 days in underlying (D = 180), and a strike rate of 4.5%. The call premium is $8,000.Calculate the effective annual rate on the loan if at expiration LIBOR = 5%Net loan amount= 5MM – 8M(1 + (0.08 * 40/360))= 4,991,929Call Payoff= 5MM(0.05 - 0.045) (180/360) = $12,500Dollar Cost of Loan=5MM * 0.08 * (180/360) – 12,500 = $187,500Effective Annual Rate= ($5,187,500 / $4,991,929)^(365/180) -1= 0.081043 or 8.1%Reading 48, question 5: Global Performance Attributiona) Calculate Local and Base (USD) portfolio returnsStep 1: Calculate the weight of each country component within the portfolio=(US Dollar value of each country as of 2006) / SUM(Total US Dollar value of portfolio as of 2006) Step 2: Calculate the portfolio returns in local currency for each country=(2007 portfolio value in local currency)/(2006 portfolio value in local currency)-1Step 3: Calculate the portfolio returns in USD for each countryFirst, convert the 2006 and 2007 Sterling and Euro portfolio values into USD using the 2006 and 2007 exchange rates. Then, apply the same concept as Step 3.=(2007 portfolio value in US Dollar)/(2006 portfolio value in US Dollar)-1Step 4: Calculate the total portfolio return in US Dollar and local currency=SUM(portfolio return in local currency * portfolio weight)and=SUM(portfolio return in US Dollar * portfolio weight)Are we good so far? Excellent, let's continue!b) Decompose the portfolio return into local currency capital gains and currency returnsThe objective here is to determine what portion of the portfolio's return came from capital gains in local currency and what portion of the portfolio's return came from currency returns.For example, you could buy a stock in Yen that drops in value, but the Yen itself could gain, which in theory could actually leave you with a gain depending on the difference between the loss on on the stock and gain on the Yen.We've actually already calculated the local currency capital gains in part A, step 2.Now, we have to calculate the currency returns for each country:=(local return - US Dollar return)***Note that this is where I begin to disagree with their mathematics. They are assuming that the local return and currency return can just be added together to get the US Dollar return, which isn't strictly true - ideally, you'd want to use this formula:(1 + local return) * (1 + currency return) - 1 = US Dollar returnbut their method is a reasonable (and simpler) approximation, although not entirely correct.End rant #1***Next, we need to calculate the total portfolio level currency return:=SUM(currency return * portfolio weight)c) Decompose the portfolio total return into the market, security selection and currency components. This is contribution. It is NOT relative to a benchmark, since it is decomposing the sources of the portfolio return.In this question, we're trying to explain the sources of the total return of the portfolio.***This is where it starts to get a bit murky due to the poor wording of the CFA material. I also think they're combining "contribution" (sources of TOTAL return) with "attribution" (sources of ACTIVE return) due to the inclusion of the selection component.End rant #2***So we need to find the following:Market ComponentSecurity Selection ComponentCurrency ComponentPortfolio Total Return = Market + Selection + CurrencyWe already found the Currency Component in part B.Market Component:=SUM(Index local return * portfolio weight)Security Selection Component:=SUM[(Portfolio local return - Index local return) * portfolio weight]。

逐项分解CFA考试重点和难点

逐项分解CFA考试重点和难点CFA考试内容有哪些?考试重点是什么?高顿网校小编为你整理了CFA考试内容,逐项分解,让你通过考试指日可待!1,道德(Ethical and Professional Standards):这一部分拜托各位把原版的道德手册下载下来好好看看,notes上面太精简了。

这一部分主要会考什么呢?就是给你一个案例,里面***在***金融类公司工作,最近做了一些什么事,然后让你分析一下这样做对不对~正常我们做的练习题会让你十分崩溃!有时候觉得句子那么长,量那么大~还有明明我们东方人觉得对的东西就违反了道德手册了呢~有一点安慰大家,正式考试题都比较短~没有太偏的~大部分的复习资料里面的case都太长了~没什么好说的,多看看喽~还有GIPS,也不要忽视哦亲~我当时忽视了,泪~不过考的不太难~2,Quatitative Methods: Basic Concepts:包括资金的时间价值Time value of money;FV,PV的转换,年金的计算。

注意这里有计算器的使用~discounted cash flow application:计算NPV,还有好多各种rate of return的计算,比较麻烦琐碎。

statistical concepts and market return:一些基本统计定义,如均值,方差,MAD,CV,以及峰态,偏态。

probability concepts:方差,协方差,条件概率,排列组合等。

common probability distribution:概率和分布基础知识,以及sharp ratio, safety-first等应用。

sampling estimation:抽样统计的一些概念。

hypothesis testing:假设检验(不难)会有一些,t,F分布等等。

包括一个样本的检验和两个样本的。

technical analysis:如何看各种股票的图啊~走势啊~等等。

CFA考试要注意的一三个重点和一个关键点

CFA考试要注意的一三个重点和一个关键点

CFA考试要注意的一级三个重点和一个关键点根据各部分的权重,将一级划分为三个着重点,和一个关键点, 分别为:重点一: Financial Reporting and Analysis第一个着重点很明显,就是Financial Reporting and Analysis, 简称FRA,报表分析在CFA考试占得比重最大,占20%。

也就是说,你考试能不能过,这一部分起着决定性作用。

我最先看的就是FSA这一部分,是所有书里面最厚的一本,我记得花的时间是别的科目的两倍。

之前学校的研究生foundation course中的AFM(Accounting for Managers)对这个科目里的一些知识略有介绍。

这一科目一共有4个Session(7,8,9,10)。

Session 7 主要讲的IFRS 和U.S. GAAP在不同情况下的区别,还有各种statements的元素构成。

Session 8 就是集中在Income statement, Balance Sheet, Cash flow statement 和各种Ratio analysis。

这一章节需要注意知识点是Revenue & Expense recognition, Basic and Dilute EPS, Goodwill;Trading, Holding to maturity and Available for sale securities, 然后cash flow statement中重点要会Direct & Indirect method, 以及两者之间的相互转化。

Ratio analysis中需要注意ROE中Basic & Extended DuPont equation以及四大Ratio: Activity, Liquidity, Solvency and Profitability ratios。

CFA三必考知识点

CFA三必考知识点

cfa三级必考知识点cfa三级可谓是cfa考试中最难的一部分。

只要卯足最后的努力通过这一级考试,就离cfa持证人越来越近了。

高顿小编整理了历年cfa三级的知识,助力参加三级的学生可以尽快有系统的复习进入状态。

1. 有限理性(bounded rationality)-凑合一下也就这么过传统决策理论认为,决策者拥有完全信息,能够进行准确的数量计算,是完全理性的。

行为金融学提出了有限理性(boundedrationality)假设。

有限理性假说放松了传统理论的完全信息(perfect information)假设。

有限理性假设认为,个体的选择是理性的,但是会受到自身知识和认知能力的局限。

关于有限理性的表述:人们决策时并非完全理性,也并非必然寻求最优化(optimize),而是满足(satisfice)即可。

所谓满足,指的是人们觉得自己有足够的信息就行,觉得自己对信息处理得较为充分就行;他们更容易盯住分层目标(sub-goals),而不是费力寻求整体的最优结果;当决策达到他们自己满意的参数范围之内时,通常他们就会适可而止。

总之,有限理性的人们努力寻找的是可接受的足够好的(acceptable and adequate)决策,而不是像完全理性人那样寻找理想的效用最大化的方案。

在考试中请注意与bounded rationality对应的是传统理论决策中的完全信息假设。

相应的行为是投资者不是收集全部相关信息,而是在已有基础上进行满足要求的选择。

2. 后悔厌恶偏差(Regret-aversion bias)--红玫瑰和白玫瑰后悔厌恶偏差(Regret-aversion bias)指的是人们因为害怕决策失误而避免做出决策的情绪偏差,换句话说,人们试图避免糟糕决策导致的后悔的痛苦。

后悔厌恶使得投资者持有亏损头寸时间过长,也会导致投资者害怕进入刚刚经历大幅损失与获利的市场。

可以从两个纬度分析后悔偏差:人们采取的行动和人们没有采取的行动。

2015CFA三级重要知识点梳理SS4
1.InvestmentPersonality Types—注意与行为金融学BB&K方法的对比
这几类人群的分析要注意和行为金融学类型的区别和联系。

(SS3&SS45)
(1)自发型(Spontaneous),类似于行为金融学中的“Adventurer”。

在行为金融学中,对这类人的描写是“Confident and Impetuous”, 自信又冲动,类比的脸谱是钢铁侠。

这类投资者的主要特点是感情用事,不重视研究分析,但担心错失市场机会。

他们的投资组合换手率是4类投资者中最高的。

(2)自主型(Individualist),类似于行为金融学中的“Individualist”使用理智的分析和小心的操作。

这类投资者的特点是对自己的投资研究能力比较自信,会通过各种渠道收集信息并努力进行分析。

相对于条理型投资者,自主型投资者对风险的承受能力更强。

(3)条理型(Methodical),这类投资者重视研究分析,有自己的投资方法和经验,受情感的影响较小。

这类投资者的投资决策依赖于数据和分析,偏于谨慎。

(4)谨慎型(Cautious)这类投资者投资决策十分慎重,没有十足的把握一般不会轻易决策。

这类投资者的组合特点一般为低交易量,低波动性。

以上四种投资人,风险偏好是越来越小的,这个关系要格外注意。

对投资者的心理特征进行分类可以帮助我们更好地理解投资者的objective,选择合适的投资组合。

在考试中常常要求考生对投资者进行心里特征的分类,要把握4类投资者的典型特征进行选择。

决策依靠理智决策依靠情感
较高的风险厌恶条理型(Methodical)谨慎型(Cautious)
较低的风险厌恶自主型(Individualist)自发型(Spontaneous)
2.判断individual investor 的risk tolerance—能力与意愿
与Institutional Investors不同,individual investors的风险承受能力不但需要考虑能力,更加需要考虑意愿。

投资者的风险目标(risk objective)或风险容忍度(risk tolerance)取决于风险承受能力和风险承受意愿。

风险承受能力(ability to take risk)着眼于回答:在满足投资目标的能力被严重损害之前,投资组合最多能够承担多大的损失?从这个定义来看,其影响因素包括:
投资期限:投资期限越长,风险承受能力越大。

投资目标与财富总额的相对大小:投资目标越小/财富总额越大,风险承受能力越大。

投资目标的重要性:投资目标的重要性越低,风险承受能力越大。

风险承受意愿(willingness to takerisk)则对应地回答:在满足投资目标的能力被严重损害之前,投资者最多愿意承担多大的损失?它更为主观,且会随着时间改变,其影响因素主要包括:
财富来源:一般来说,经营谋生者承受风险意愿较高,安稳储蓄者、接受遗产者承受意愿较低。

性格判定:如前所述,谨慎型(Cautious)、条理型(Methodical)、自发型(Spontaneous)、自主型(Individualist)的投资者承担风险的意愿不同。

考试时,通常需要判定individual investor的risk tolerance (或ability to take risk/willingness to take risk) 是above average、average还是below average(或increase/decrease),并给出相应的理由。

应从投资者的上述因素寻找相应信息(但不限于上述因素,更多的因素需要在做题的过程中总结体会)。

3.投资账户的类别—选对账户,降低税负
从税收的角度考虑,投资账户可以分为应税账户(taxableaccounts)、递延税账户(tax-deferred accounts)和免税账户(tax-exempt accounts)。

有时候,投资账户类别的选择比某项具体资产的投资税收处理更重要。

应税账户(Taxable accounts)最为简单,该账户的投资收益需要缴纳各种形式的税收,而且初始投入资金是税后计量的(on a after-tax basis)—也就是说,向该类账户投资需要扣税。

递延税账户(Tax-deferred accounts)的初始投入资金可能缴税也可能不缴税(资金是税前计量的),其间所获投资收益的税收可以递延至提取时。

免税账户(Tax-exempt accounts)不允许初始投入资金抵扣(no tax-deductible contributions),但是当期末提取资金时是免税的
一个普遍的误解在于,我们一般认为免税账户从税收效率上讲是最好的。

事实上,免税账户是否比递延税账户更有税收优势取决于初始投入的扣税率和期末提取的递延税率之间的大小关系,也就是T0和Tn的大小对比。

在考试中,考生常常需要选择合适的账户类别来进行资产管理。

一般的原则是将缴税重的投资项目放入递延税账户和免税账户,缴税轻或不缴税的投资放入应税账户。

各位考生,2015年CFA备考已经开始,为了方便各位考生能更加系统地掌握考试大纲的重点知识,帮助大家充分备考,体验实战,网校开通了全免费的高顿题库(包括精题真题和全真模考系统),题库里附有详细的答案解析,学员可以通过多种题型加强练习,通过针对性地训练与模考,对学习过程进行全面总结。
