Questions 1:

A hedge fund with an initial value of $100 million has a management fee of 2% and an incentive fee of 20%. Management and incentive fees are calculated independently using end-of-period valuation. The value must reach the previous high-water mark before incentive fees are paid. The table below provides end-of-period fund values over the next three years.

View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】A

【analysis】

A is correct. The incentive fee is based on the performance relative to the previous high-water mark after fees. Management fee: 2% of $125 million = $2.5 million Incentive fee: 20% of ($125 million – $113.6 million) = $2.28 million In total: $2.5 million + $2.28 million = $4.78 million

B is incorrect because the incentive fee is incorrectly based on the fund value before fees in the second year. Management fee: 2% of $125 million = $2.5 millionIncentive fee: 20% of ($125 million – $110 million) = $3 million In total: $2.5 million + $3 million = $5.5 million

C is incorrect because the incentive fee is incorrectly based on the fund value after fees in the second year. Management fee: 2% of $125 million = $2.5 million Incentive fee: 20% of ($125 million – $107.8 million) = $3.44 million In total: $2.5 million + $3.44 million = $5.94 million

【Answer to question 2】A

【analysis】

A is correct. Long–short hedge funds invest in liquid, publicly traded equity (taking long and short positions); therefore, the underlying positions can be reversed easily and there is no need for independent valuations because current market prices are available. The investor will have difficulty in determining if the different funds are holding diverse or concentrated positions (both within each fund and between funds) because hedge funds generally do not reveal their holdings.

B is incorrect because these funds hold publicly traded securities with fresh market prices.

C is incorrect because these funds hold publicly traded securities that trade in liquid markets.

成功=時間+方法，自制力是這個等式的保障。世上無天才，高手都是來自刻苦的練習(xí)。而人們經(jīng)常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績，其成績背后無比寂寞的勤奮。小編相信，每天都在勤奮練習(xí)，即使是一點點的進步，大家一定可以成為人人稱贊的“牛人”。更多CFA考試資訊，點擊了解>
