A hedge fund has two trading desks (A and B ) which have different traders with different trading strategies. The hedge fund has up to $10 million in total which it can allocate to the two desks for them to start investing. However, it can only allocate at most $7 million to each desk to follow the diversification information given to investors. After 1 year, it is expected that desk A will make a 5% return (i.e. for every $1 in initial funding it will end with $1.05 for a profit of $0.05) and desk B will make a 10% return. However, for every $1 million in initial funding, desk A requires 3 support staff (for trade execution, risk management, IT, etc) and desk B requires 5 support staff. There are only 40 support staff available. (a) Formulate an LP problem to determine how the fund should best allocate its initial funding to maximise the profit in the first year. (b) Solve the hedge fund's problem using the simplex method. (c) By considering the optimum of the dual problem,…
- Nicholas Grammas is an investment analyst examining the performance of two mutual funds with Janus Capital Group: the Janus Balanced Fund and the Janus Overseas Fund. The Janus Balanced Fund (JANBX): This “core” fund consists of stocks and bonds and its goal is diversification. It has historically produced solid long-term returns through different market cycles. The Janus Overseas Fund (JAOSX): This fund invests in overseas companies based on their individual merits instead of their geography or industry sector. The following table reports a portion of the annual returns (in percent) for these two funds from 2000–2016. Year. Balanced.

However, if you decide to put some money into an investment, you are usually advised to leave it in for (at least) several years. Why? Because good years tend to cancel out bad years, giving you a better overall return with less risk. To see what we mean, let's use a 3-year moving average on the Calvert Social Balanced Fund (a socially responsible fund).
