Your Company, manager of the Gigantic Mutual Fund, knows that her fund currently is well diversified and that it has a CAPM beta of 1.0 The risk-free rate is 8% and the CAPM risk premium of 6.2%. She has been learning about measures of risk and knows that there are (at least) two factors: changes in industrial production index, δ1 and unexpected inflation, δ2 The APT equation is E(Ri) – Rf = [δ1 – Rf]bi1 + [δ2 – Rf]bi2, E(Ri) = 0.08 + [0.05]bi1 + [0.11]bi2. In addition, Your Company wish to establish a PhD University Scholarship of GHc 2,000 paid at the end of each year for deserving students as an alumnus at the School you attended. You would like to make a lump-sum gift to the school to fund the scholarship into infinity. The school's treasurer assures you that they will earn 7.5% every year continually. Required: If his portfolio currently has a sensitivity to the first factor of bi1= -0.5, what is its sensitivity to unexpected inflation? If she rebalances her portfolio to keep the same expected return but reduce her exposure to inflation to zero (i.e., bi1= 0) what will its sensitivity to the first factor become? Compare, contrast and discuss the difference in your response to parts (1) and (2)
