Based on the information given, for a price-weighted index of the three stocks calculate:a.the rate of return for the first period (t=0 to t=1).b.the value of the divisor in the second period (t=2). Assume that Stock A had a 2-1split during this period.c.the rate of return for the second period (t=1 to t=2).Difficulty: DifficultAnswer:A.The price-weighted index at time 0 is (70+85+105)/3 = 86.67. The price-weightedindex at time 1 is (72+81+98)/3 = 83.67. The return on the index is 83.67/86.67 – 1 = -3.46%.B.The divisor must change to reflect the stock split. Because nothing elsefundamentally changed, the value of the index should remain 83.67. So the newdivisor is (36+81+98)/83.67 = 2.57. The index value is (36+81+98)/2.57 = 83.67.C.The rate of return for the second period is 83.67/83.67-1 = 0.00%64. Based on the information given for the three stocks, calculate the first-period rates ofreturn (from t=0 to t=1) ona. a market-value-weighted index.b.an equally-weighted index.c. a geometric index.Difficulty: DifficultAnswer:A.The total market value at time 0 is $70*200 + $85*500 + $105*300 = $88,000. Thetotal market value at time 1 is $72*200 + $81*500 + $98*300 = $84,300. The return is $84,300/$88,000 – 1 = -4.20%.B.The return on Stock A for the first period is $72/$70-1 = 2.86%. The return onStock B for the first period is $81/$85-1 = -4.71%. The return on Stock C for thefirst period is $98/$105-1 = -6.67%. The return on an equally weighted index of the three stocks is (2.86%-4.71%-6.67%)/3 = -2.84%.C.The geometric average return is [(1+.0286)(1-.0471)(1-.0667)](1/3)-1 =[(1.0286)(0.9529)(0.9333)]0.3333 -1 = -2.92%。

投资管理专业英语

投资管理专业英语Sure, I can help you with that. Investment management is a specialized area of finance that involves overseeing the investment decisions and strategies of an individual or organization. It requires a deep understanding of financial markets, investment products, and risk management.In this field, professionals are responsible for analyzing financial data, evaluating investment opportunities, and making recommendations to clients or stakeholders. They also monitor the performance of investment portfolios and make adjustments as needed to optimize returns and manage risk.Investment management professionals often work for investment firms, banks, insurance companies, or other financial institutions. They may also work as independent financial advisors or portfolio managers.The skills required for investment management include strong analytical abilities, financial modeling expertise, and a deep understanding of economic and market trends. Communication skills are also essential, as investmentmanagers need to effectively convey their recommendations to clients and stakeholders.In terms of education, many investment management professionals hold a bachelor's degree in finance, economics, or a related field. Some may also pursue advanced degrees such as a Master of Business Administration (MBA) or a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation.Overall, investment management is a dynamic and challenging field that requires a combination of financial expertise, analytical skills, and the ability to navigate complex market conditions.投资管理是金融领域的一项专业领域，涉及监督个人或组织的投资决策和策略。

【留学生招聘会】投资管理面试全攻略

【留学生招聘会】投资管理面试全攻略进入investment management（投资管理）面经很不巧，我的硬盘因为进水短路烧过一次，资料都没了……但是……我有两个电脑！investment management的面试分两种， fundamental 和 quant. fundamental 的公司，像Bridgewater， SAC，Paulson & Co之类的，和各家华尔街投行内部的asset management 部门，比较适合MBA，和在美国做过IBD的人，因为他们对于industry有独特见解。

quant型的比较适合中国人，其中出名的大型的并且招中国人master及undergrad的公司有AQR, Citadel, DE Shaw, Acadian之类的(本文不提供任何关于PhD level的经验) 。

他们的面试题的特色就是要求你神马都要会！问题类型主要分4块大topics和一块隐藏topic，考 market/investment idea：讲一个你熟悉的市场，讲你认为比较不错的投资机会，这和stock pitch， macro pitch 类似, 但是主要用quant investment algorithm来讲。

一般中国人面试在这块是软肋，因为对语言要求比较高。

Market neutral, long 130 short 30, pure long 100, 之类的可以作为准备的模板。

考编程：最近特别流行python, 第二流行的是matlab，所以如果你会C++，多花一点时间就能pick up这两者。

除非面的是statistical arbitrage组，否则不会问太难的algorithm。

最近也特别流行artificial intelligence/machine learning这一块，如果你学过这块，会给面试加很多分。

最近还特别流行SQL，不过没学过SQL也不是很大问题，因为SQL 比较简单。

博迪投资学第九版-Investment-Chap013-习题答案

博迪投资学第九版-Investment-Chap013-习题答案CHAPTER 13: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE ON SECURITY RETURNS PROBLEM SETS1. Even if the single-factor CCAPM (with a consumption-trackingportfolio used as the index) performs better than the CAPM, it is still quite possible that the consumption portfolio does not capture the size and growth characteristics captured by the SMB(i.e., small minus big capitalization) and HML (i.e., high minuslow book-to-market ratio) factors of the Fama-French three-factor model. Therefore, it is expected that the Fama-French model with consumption provides a better explanation of returns than does the model with consumption alone.2. Wealth and consumption should be positively correlated and,therefore, market volatility and consumption volatility should also be positively correlated. Periods of high market volatility might coincide with periods of high consumption volatility. The‘conventional’ CAPM focuses on the covariance of security returns with returns for the market portfolio (which in turn tracks aggregate wealth) while the consumption-based CAPM focuses on the covariance of security returns with returns for a portfolio thattracks consumption growth. However, to the extent that wealth and consumption are correlated, both versions of the CAPM mightrepresent patterns in actual returns reasonably well.To see this formally, suppose that the CAPM and the consumption-based model are approximately true. According to the conventional CAPM, the market price of risk equals expected excess market return divided by the variance of that excess return. According to theconsumption-beta model, the price of risk equals expected excessmarket return divided by the covariance of R M with g, where g is the rate of consumption growth. This covariance equals the correlation of R M with g times the product of the standard deviations of thevariables. Combining the two models, the correlation between R M andg equals the standard deviation of R M divided by the standarddeviation of g. Accordingly, if the correlation between R M and g is relatively stable, then an increase in market volatility will beaccompanied by an increase in the volatility of consumption growth.Note: For the following problems, the focus is on the estimation procedure. To keep the exercise feasible, the sample was limited to returns on nine stocks plus a market index and a second factor over a period of 12 years. The data were generated to conform to a two-factor CAPM so that actual rates of return equal CAPMexpectations plus random noise, and the true intercept of the SCL is zero for all stocks. The exercise will provide a feel for the pitfalls of verifying social-science models. However, due to the small size of the sample, results are not always consistent withthe findings of other studies as reported in the chapter.3. Using the regression feature of Excel with the data presented inthe text, the first-pass (SCL) estimation results are:Stock:A B C D E F G H I R Square0.060.060.060.370.170.590.060.670.70ObservationBeta-0.470.590.42 1.380.90 1.780.66 1.91 2.08t-Alpha0.73-0.04-0.06-0.410.05-0.450.33-0.270.64t-Beta-0.810.780.78 2.42 1.42 3.830.78 4.51 4.814. The hypotheses for the second-pass regression for the SML are: The intercept is zero; and,The slope is equal to the average return on the index portfolio. 5. The second-pass data from first-pass (SCL) estimates are: AverageBetaExcessReturnA 5.18-0.47B 4.190.59C 2.750.42D 6.15 1.38E8.050.90F9.90 1.78G11.320.66H13.11 1.91I22.83 2.08M8.12S The second-pass regression yields:Regression StatisticsMultiple R 0.7074R Square0.5004Adjusted RSquare0.4291Standard Error 4.6234 Observations9Coefficients StandardErrortStatisticfor β=0tStatisticforIntercept 3.92 2.54 1.54Slope 5.21 1.97 2.65-1.486. As we saw in the chapter, the intercept is too high (3.92% per year instead of 0) and the slope is too flat (5.21% instead of a predicted value equal to the sample-average risk premium: r M r f = 8.12%). The intercept is not significantly greater than zero (thet-statistic is less than 2) and the slope is not significantlydifferent from its theoretical value (the t-statistic for this hypothesis is 1.48). This lack of statistical significance is probably due to the small size of the sample.7. Arranging the securities in three portfolios based on betas from the SCL estimates, the first pass input data are:Year ABC DEG FHI115.0525.8656.692-16.76-29.74-50.85319.67-5.688.984-15.83-2.5835.41547.1837.70-3.256-2.2653.8675.447-18.6715.3212.508-6.3536.3332.1297.8514.0850.421021.4112.6652.1411-2.53-50.71-66.1212-0.30-4.99-20.10 Average 4.048.5115.28Std.Dev.19.3029.4743.96(continued on next page)The first-pass (SCL) estimates are:ABC DEG FHIR Square0.040.480.82Observation121212Alpha 2.580.54-0.34Beta0.180.98 1.92t-Alpha0.420.08-0.06t-Beta0.62 3.02 6.83Grouping into portfolios has improved the SCL estimates as is evident from the higher R-square for Portfolio DEG and Portfolio FHI. This means that the beta (slope) is measured with greater precision, reducing the error-in-measurement problem at the expense of leaving fewer observations for the second pass.The inputs for the second pass regression are:AverageExcessReturnBetaABC 4.040.18DEH8.510.98FGI15.28 1.92M8.12The second-pass estimates are:RegressionMultiple R0.9975R Square0.9949Adjusted RSquare0.9899Standard Error0.5693Observations3Coefficients StandardErrortStatisticfor β =0tStatisticfor βIntercept 2.620.58 4.55Slope 6.470.4614.03-3.58Despite the decrease in the intercept and the increase in slope, the intercept is now significantly positive, and the slope is significantly less than the hypothesized value by more than three times the standard error.8. Roll’s critique suggests that the problem b egins with the marketindex, which is not the theoretical portfolio against which thesecond pass regression should hold. Hence, even if therelationship is valid with respect to the true (unknown) index, we may not find it. As a result, the second pass relationship may be meaningless.9.Except for Stock I, which realized an extremely positive surprise, the CML shows that the index dominates all other securities, and the three portfolios dominate all individual stocks. The power of diversification is evident despite the very small sample size.10.
