1. In GIPS, will the definition of company total assets include non-fee, and non-discretionry portfolio?
2. In an endowment will smoonthing rules when adopted have nothing to do with Rate of Required Return?
3. Will roll yield be negative or positive for a future if its value remains unchanged over the period but the spot rate at maturity becomes smaller than its beginning spot rate?
第一题,是。都算在total asset里面。我gips怎么就没考这道题?看来地方不同,考卷有差别?
第二题,如果portfolio value在一直下降,smoothing rules or using average will have a negative impact.因为如果你只剩下100了,你本来只要花5%*100;if smoothing rules or using average applies, 现在要花5%*# (#>100)。我不知道我这么解释你懂吗,我中文英文都烂,还懒的打字。
第三题,答案是正的,我也做错了。。。我当时选择负的了,脑残无救啊,真想抽死自己。 roll yield 是change in future price minus change in sport price...0-(-10)=10,notes上有讲,但是是个偏点, 在commodity那一部分。
