A hedge fund with net asset value of $108 per share currently has a high-water mark of $115. Suppose it is January 1, the standard
deviation of the fund's annual returns is 45%, and the risk-free rate is 4%. The fund has an incentive fee of 16% of annual returns, but its
current high-water mark is $115, and net asset value is $108.
Required:
a. What is the value of the annual incentive fee according to the Black-Scholes formula? (Treat the risk-free rate as a continuously
compounded value to maintain consistency with the Black-Scholes formula.)
Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
b. What would the annual incentive fee be worth if the fund had no high-water mark and it earned its incentive fee on its total return?
Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Suppose that today is December 31, 2021. Consider a hedge fund with the following investment strategy: buy high quality stocks and short-sell low quality ("junk") stocks. The hedge fund follows a beta-
neutral strategy. The estimated betas of high and low quality stocks over the 01/2019 to 12/2021 time period are 1.01 and 1.32 respectively. If the hedge fund's gross leverage is capped at 2, then how much
should the fund invest in low quality stocks?
To answer this question, compute the weighted invested in low-quality_("junk") stocks at the end of 12/2021. (Hint: the sign matters)
The answer should be given in decimal form with three decimals. For example, write 0.105 instead of 10.5 or 10.5 % when the correct answer is 10.5 %.
