You are considering investing in a mutual fund. The fund is expected to earn a return of 13 percent in the next year. If its annual return is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 17 percent, what return can you expect the fund to beat 95 percent of the time? (Note: Write your answer as decimals with three decimal places. For example, if you answer is -8.7%, you should write -0.087 in the answer box. DO NOT write -8.7 in the box as you will be marked wrong).

A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term government and corporate bond fund, and the third is a T-bill money market fund that yields a rate of 8%. The probability distribution of the risky funds is as follows: Expected Return Standard Deviation Stock fund (S) 19% 34% Bond fund (B) 10 18 The correlation between the fund returns is 0.11. Solve numerically for the proportions of each asset and for the expected return and standard deviation of the optimal risky portfolio. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as decimals rounded to 4 places.) portfolio invested in the stock portfolio invested in the bond expected return standard deviation
Assume that one year ago, you bought 240 shares of a mutual fund for $27 per share and that you received an income dividend of $0.34 cents per share and a capital gain distribution of $1.07 per share during the past 12 months. Also assume the market value of the fund is now $29.50 a share. Calculate the total return for this investment if you were to sell it now. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
You are considering investing in a mutual fund. The fund is expected to earn a return of 19.0 percent in the next year. If its annual return is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 10.3 percent, what return can you expect the fund to beat 95 percent of the time?
You invest $100,000 in a hedge fund with a 2/20 fee structure. For the next 3 years, the hedge fund earns annual returns of 25.93%, -10.62%, and 64.83%. You make no withdrawals from the fund. Whenever fees are due, you write a check for that amount to the fund (such that the fund doesn't deduct the fees from your portfolio value). The fund's fee structure has a high watermark feature. What are the total fees you pay over the course of the three years? Enter a number with two decimal points. Answer the question in dollar amount, i.e., if the answer is $20, enter 20.00.

A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term government and corporate bond fund, and the third is a T-bill money market fund that yields a rate of 5.5%.

Suppose that at the beginning of 2004 you invested $l0,000 in the Stivers mutual fund and $5000 in the Trippi mutual fund. The value of each investment at the end of each subsequent year is provided in the table below. Which mutual fund performed better?

Investments are made to earn a return, but making investments requires the individual to bear risk. A higher return by itself does not necessarily indicate superior performance. It may simply be the result of taking more risk. Given this context, answer the following two-part questions. A mutual fund generates a 10.8 percent return. During the same period, the market rose by 8.8 percent. If the risk-free rate was 2 percent and the fund had a beta of 1.2 : Did the fund outperform the market? Explain your response.
