Please answer the following MCQS with explanations. I have also attached the formulas list, if needed.
1. If your mutual fund manager generates returns that earn a statistically significant
Group of answer choices:
- -No, you will only find a significant CAPM $\alpha$ when you do not have a long data sample
- -Yes, assuming you have enough data to generate reliable estimates of alpha and beta
- -Yes, CAPM alpha means the asset is earning return that is not explained by exposure to the market
- -No, it depends on the beta of the stock
- -No; a missing risk factor could explain the manager's performance
2. You are assessing the average performance of two mutual fund managers with the Fama-French 3-factor model. The fund managers and the Fama-French factors had the following performance over this period
of time:
Manager 1 Manager 2 Rm − rf smb hml
Avg. (total) Ret 27% 13% 8% 2% 6%
βmkt 2 1 1 0 0
s 1 -0.5 0 1 0
h 1 0.5 0 0 1
The risk-free rate is 2%. What is the average (total not excess) return on the benchmark implied by the three-factor model (defined in 5.1.5) for each manager?
Group of answer choices
- -None of the above
- -Manager 1: 26%, Manager 2: 13%
- -Manager 1: 24%, Manager 2: 13%
- -Manager 1: 26%, Manager 2: 12%
- -Manager 1: 24%, Manager 2: 12%
