CFA三级写作课后题（2020.12）3.docx

2020年12月CFA三级写作题CAPITALMARKETEXPECTATIONS今年由于疫情的缘故，CFA考试被迫延期。虽然给了大家更多的复习时间，但也不可掉以轻心。近年来，CFA考试的难度在逐步提高，并且在三级中更偏向实务与理论结合的考察。相比2019年考纲，2020年考纲发生了较多的变化。其中关于经济学的部分，更名为资本市场预期，并进行了重大改变；衍生产品与资产配置中的外汇管理合并在一起，并进行了较大的改写；另类投资的内容完全重新改写；交易与业绩评估合并在一起，并重新编写。而一向是考试重点的私人财富管理和机构组合管理也发生了较大变化，其中私人财富管理的第一个RCading重新编写，而机构组合管理也进行了重新编写，这些变化需引起考生重视。为了全面应对考试，我们全面推出了的各种学习平台，如金程网校、手机APP、金程CFA答疑等活动，请各位充分利用。如有学术问题，请登录至金程网校提问。祝大家好运，顺利通过CFA三级考试，加油!CapitalMarketExpectationsCase1:AninvestorAninvestorisconsideringaddingthreenewsecuritiestoherinternationallyfocusedfixedincomeportfolio.Sheconsidersthefollowingnon-callablesecurities:yeargovernmentbond10-yeargovernmentbond10-yearBBBratedcorporatebondSheplanstoinvestequallyinallthreesecuritiesbeinganalyzedorwillinvestinnoneofthematthistime.Shewillonlymaketheaddedinvestmentprovidedthattheexpectedspread/premiumoftheequallyweightedinvestmentisatleast1.5percent(150bp)overthe1-yeargovernmentbond.Shehasgatheredthefollowinginformation:Riskfreeinterestrate(1-year,incorporating2.6%inflationexpectation)3.8%Termpremium(10-yearvs.1-yeargovernmentbond)1%10-yearBBBcreditpremium(over10-yeargovernmentbond)75bpEstimatedliquiditypremiumon10-yearcorporatebonds55bpUsingonlytheinformationgiven,addressthefollowingproblemsusingtheriskpremiumapproach:1.Calculatetheexpectedreturnthatanequal-weightedinvestmentinthethreesecuritiescouldprovide.Solution:Riskfreeinterestrate(nominal)(%)+Premiums!%)=Expectedannualfixed-incomereturn(%)1-yeargovernmentbond3.8+0=3.S10-yeargovernmentbond3.8+1=4.810-yearcorporatebond3.8+1+0.75+0.55=61Estimateoftheexpectedreturnofanequal-weightedinvestmentinthethreesecurities:(3.8%+4.8%+6.1%)3=4.9%2.Calculatetheexpectedtotalriskpremiumofthethreesecuritiesanddeterminetheinvestorsprobablecourseofaction.Solution:Theaveragespread(over1-yeargovernmentbond)atissueis0+1+(1+0.75+0.55)=3.3%3=1.1%.Asthe1.1%islessthan1.5%,theinvestorwillnotmaketheinvestment.Case2:JoAkumbaJoAkumbaxSportfolioisinvestedinarangeofdevelopedmarketsfixedincomesecurities.Sheasksheradviseraboutthepossibilityofdiversifyingherinvestmentstoincludeemergingandfrontiermarketsgovernmentandcorporatefixedincomesecurities.Heradvisermakesthefollowingcommentregardingrisk:"Allemergingandfrontiermarketfixedincomesecuritiesposeeconomic,politicalandlegalrisk.Economicrisksarisefromthefactthatemergingmarketcountrieshavepoorfiscaldiscipline,relyonforeignborrowing,havelessdiversetaxbaseandsignificantdependenceonspecificindustries.Theyaresusceptibletocapitalflight.Theirabilitytopayislimited.Inaddition,weakpropertyrights,weakenforcementofcontractlawsandpoliticalinstabilityposehazardforemergingmarketsdebtinvestors/*Discussthestatementmade.Solution:Thestatementcorrectlyidentifieseconomic,politicalandlegalrisk.Theadviserhascorrectlyidentifiedsomeofthecharacteristicstypicallyassociatedwithemergingandfrontiermarketsthatmayaffecttheirgovernments*andcorporateborrowers*abilityandwillingnesstopaybondholders.However,theassertionthatallemergingandfrontiermarketfixedincomesecuritiesposesuchriskisincorrect,asmanycountriesclassifiedas"emerging"areconsideredtobehealthyandprosperouseconomies.Case3:AustralianinvestorAnAustralianinvestorcurrentlyholdsaA$240millionequityportfolio.HeisconsideringrebalancingtheportfoliobasedonanassessmentoftheriskandreturnprospectsfacingtheAustralianeconomy.InformationrelatingtotheAustralianinvestmentmarketsandtheeconomyhasbeencollectedinthefollowingtable:IO-YearHistoricaICurrentCapitalMarketExpectationsAveragegovernmentbondyield:2.8%10-yeargovernmentbondyield:23%Averageannualequityreturn:4.6%Year-over-yearequityreturn:9.4%Averageannualinflationrate:2.3%Year-over-yearinflationrate:2.1%Expectedannualinflation:2.3%EquitymarketP/E(beginningofperiod):15×CurrentequitymarketP/E:14.5×ExpectedequitymarketP/E:14.0×Averageannualdividendincomereturn:2.6%Expectedannualincomereturn:2.4%Averageannualrealearningsgrowth:6.0%Expectedannualrealearningsgrowth:5.0%Usingtheinformationinthetable,addressthefollowingproblems:1.CalculatethehistoricalAustralianequityriskpremiumusingthe"equity-vsbonds"premiummethod.Solution:Thehistoricalequityriskpremiumis1.8%,calculatedasfollows:Historicalequityreturns-Historical10-yeargovernmentbondyield=Historicalequityriskpremium4.6%-2.8%=1.8%2.CalculatetheexpectedannualequityreturnusingtheGrinold-Kronermodel(assumenochangeinthenumberofsharesoutstanding).Solution:TheGrinold-Kronermodelstatesthattheexpectedreturnonequityisthesumoftheexpectedincomereturn(2.4%),theexpectednominalearningsgrowthreturn(7.3%=2.3%frominflation+5.0%fromrealearningsgrowth)andtheexpectedrepricingreturn(-3.45%).Theexpectedchangeinmarketvaluationof-3.45%iscalculatedasthepercentagechangeintheP/Elevelfromthecurrent14.5×totheexpectedlevelof14.Ox：(14一14.5)/14.5=-3.45%.Thus,theexpectedreturnis2.4%+7.3%-345%=6.25%.3.UsingyouranswertoPartB,calculatetheexpectedannuale
