Question 4:
You own 800 units of an aggressive growth mutual fund with a
NAVPS of $24.80.
If the fund distributes $3.80 as a capital gains dividend or
distribution, what is the value of the portfolio after the distribution and the tax
consequences if the investor is in the 29% marginal tax bracket?
Question 5:
A mutual fund with 2 million units outstanding has a NAVPS of
$14.00 before it pays a dividend of $0.70 per share.
a) How many units will be outstanding after the distribution?
b) If the distribution is reinvested, what are the assets of the fund?
h
24.80
- 3.80 = 21
3.80 x 50% x 29% = 0.551
0.551 x 800 = 440.80
2,000,000 x 0.70 = 1,400,000
1,400,000/ 14-0.7 = 105,263.158
before distridution ; 2,000,000 x 14 = 28,000,000
after distribution ; 14-0.70 = 13.30 x 2,105,263.158 = 28,000

when assessing mutual fund performance, we should
compare funds only after accounting for the risks

above the SML (call it A) and one dot below it (call it
B) while A and B have the same beta.
(a) Describe the investment opportunities here.
Buy B and sell A in a way that the portfolio has
zero market beta
