(2) Debt / GDP > 70%
(3) real growth rate < 4%
(4) Foreign debt > 50% GDP and > 200% current account

30
Q

Grinold-Kroner model

A

expected equity return =
(1) Expected CF return (dividend yield - change in share outstanding)
(2) Nominal earning growth (read earning growth + inflation)
(3) Expected repricing return (change in P/E ratio)

31
Q

Boom and Bust in business cycle movements

A

(1) boom: higher demand -> up property values
(2) bust: falling demand -> down property values and lease rates down

32
Q

Shrinkage Estimates

A

suppose that:
+ the sample covariance: 180
+ the target (from a factor-based model) estimated covariance: 220.
If the analyst weights the historical covariance by 60% and the target by 40%, the shrinkage estimate would be 196 (= 180 × 0.60 + 220 × 0.40)

33
Q

Smoothed Returns

A

+) Rt, is a weighted average of the current true return, rt, and the previous observed return: Rt = (1 - y) rt + yx R(t-1)
+) var(r) = (1+y)/(1-y) x Var(R)`

34
Q

informal Tools of forecasting FI return

A

(1) Survey: ask expert for opinion
(2) Judgment: qualitative synthesis of information derived from various sources and filtered through the lens of experience

35
Q

Well-known Sample Statistics

A

use
+ sample means,
+ variances, and
+ correlations,
to describe the distribution of future returns

36
Q

Time-series estimation

A

+ base on lagged value
+ normally used to estimate near term volatility

37
Q

(2) Cochrane and Piazzesi curve factor
(3) Kim and Wright premium
(4) Slope of the yield curve
(5) Supply indicator (share of >10-year debt)
(6) Cyclical Proxies (Corp Profit/GDP, Business confidence,
unemployment rate)

39
Q

A

(1) Coporate OAS
(2) Equity Volatility
(3) Yield curve slope (10yr - 2yr)

40
Q

why credit premium higher at short-term ?

A

(1) Event risk
(2) illiquidity

41
Q

full integration

A

+ use when market is integrated markets, capital flows freely
+ Function: RP = (std deviation) x (Sharpe ration of Global market) x (cor to global market)

42
Q

Full segmentation

A

+ When markets are segmented, capital does not freely across borders
+ Function: RP = (std deviation) x (Sharpe ration of Global market)
+ RP of full segmentation > RP of full integration

43
Q

Indivisibility

A

characteristics of real estate, mean can not devide

44
Q

4 Problem from characteristic of real estate asset

A

(1) Heterogeneity
(2) Indivisibility
(3) InMobility
(4) Illiquidity

45
Q

REIT like ? in short - long term

A

short term: like equity
long term: like real estate

46
Q

mechanics trade in good & service affect exchange rate

A

trao đổi -> tao phải có
(1) trade flow (import - export) (large trade without financed -> likely crisis)
(2) purchasing power parity
(3) competitiveness and sustainability of the current account

47
Q

3 implication to look at of capital flow affect exchange rate

A

(1) Capital mobility -> 3 phases:
(1.1) the exchange rate will initially significantly appreciate
(1.2) following an extended level of stronger exchange rates in the
intermediate term, investors will start to expect a reversal
(1.3) the exchange rate in the long run will tend to start reverting (depreciate) once the investment opportunities have been realized
(2) Uncovered interest rate parity :
+ Delta E = Delta R nominal
+ Hot money problem
(3) Portfolio balance and composition: strong econs => increase currency share to global market portfolio => weak currency must need premium.

48
Q

hot money problems related to Money policy

A

(1) central banks’ ability to use monetary policy effectively is limited
(2) firm use short term to finance long term => increase market risk
(3) exchange rates tend to overshoot, creating business disruption

49
Q

mitigate to risk premium of weak currency

A

(1) Investors tend to have a strong home country bias, which leads them to
absorb (hap thu) a larger share of the new assets
(2) If growth is due to productivity gains, investors may fund it with financial flow + FDI (dau tu do gia nhan cong re)
(3) Countries that experience high trend rates tend to be smaller, emerging
markets. Increasing the weight in these countries generally does not weaken
their currency

50
Q

2 mitigate to weaken exchange rate by large account deficit

A

(1) Current account deficit is easy to finance if it profitable
(2) Small current account deficits in global reserve currencies,provide global liquidity and are beneficial to financial system

51
Q

Time-series estimators

A

which explicitly incorporate dynamics, may summarize historical data well without providing insight into the underlying drivers of forecasts

52
Q

two main problems with using the sample VCV matrix

A

(1) It cannot be used for large numbers of asset classes
(2) it is subject to substantial sampling error

53
Q

Adv & Disadv of factor-based model (linear factor model) impose structure to VCV Matrix

A

Adv: allows to handle very large numbers of asset classes
Disadv: biased and inconsistent unless the assumed structure is true

54
Q

hot money flow (definition and impact)

A

huge flows of capital in response to interest rate differentials
+ Impact:
(1) limit the central bank’s ability to run an effective monetary policy
(2) encourage firms to fund longer-term needs with short-term money
(3) inevitable overshooting of the exchange rate is likely to disrupt non-financial businesses.
+ Solution: sterilize the impact: selling/buying gov securities

55
Q

Uncovered interest parity

A

+ the expected percentage change in the exchange rate should be equal to the nominal interest rate differential
+ carry trades tend to be profitable on average,
and UIP does not hold up well as a predictor of exchange rates

56
Q

In short term, REIT like…, in long term, REIT like….

A

(1) Stock
(2) direct real estate

57
Q

The long-run, steady-state NOI growth rate for commercial real estate as a whole should be ……. the growth rate of GDP

A

close

58
Q

in emerging market, in crisis, tend to experience capital outflow
A. correct
B. Incorrect

A

B. incorrect because:
. Emerging markets tend to be more
segmented than developed markets. When markets are segmented, capital does not flow freely across borders.

59
Q

what is assumption of fully intergration

A

allows the use of a single global market portfolio to determine equity-versus-bills risk premiums for all assets

60
Q

what is assumption of segmentation of markets

A

each asset class in each country is priced without regard to any other country/asset class

61
Q

Time horizon < Maccaulay Duration. What is dominant ?

A

Price risk is dominant

62
Q

Time horizon > Macaulay Duration
What is dominant ?

A

Reinvestment risk is dominant

63
Q

when forecast FI return = building block, how can forecast if ST interest rate negative ?

A

(1) use nomalize
(2) use Taylor rule

64
Q

Grinold Kroner Model

A

Expected return = Expected Income Return + Expected Nominal Growth in Earningsm+ Expected Repricing Return

65
Q

expected CF return

A

= D/P - Delta S
