negative number means underperformance absolute measure of performance

= to maturity

28

gross rental receipts

+ non rental income

= potential gross income (PGI)

  • vacancy collection losses

= Effective gross income (EGI)

  • operating expenses

= net operating income (NOI)

34
Q

geometric annual rate of return preferred for analyzing performance of a portfolio manger

35
Q

dollar weighed return

A

compound annual rate of return (IRR) better assessment of investoR’s actual performance

36
Q

steps to immunize a portfolio

A

goal: protect bonds from interest rate risk and reinvestment risk

  1. choose time horizon equal to goal
  2. purchase bonds of various maturities with a duration equal to the time horizon
  3. rebalance every 6 most- yr and duration should change based on time to goal (ex started at 10, 6 months would to go 9.5)
37
Q

greater the duration, the greater the

A

volatility

38
Q

types of systematic risk

A

Purchasing Power Risk: Loss of purchacing power through inflation.

Reinvestment Risk: Risk that proceeds available for reinvestment must be reinvested at a lower interest rate than the instrument that generated the proceeds.

Interest Rate Risk: The risk that a change in interest rates will cause the market value of the fixed income security to fall.

Market Risk: Risk of the overall market

Exchange Rate Risk: Risk associated with changed in the value of the currency.

Study Hint: Remember P.R.I.M.E.

39
Q

fluctuations in bond prices

A

The smaller the coupon, the greater the Relative Price Fluctuation

The longer the term to maturity, the greater the Price Fluctuation

The lower the market interest rate, the greater the Relative Price Fluctuation

40
Q

unsystematic risk

A

Known as Diversifiable Risk, may alslo be referred to a Non-systematic Risk.

Business Risk: Refers to the nature of the firm’s operations (i.e., possibility of loss due to new technology)

Financial Risk: Refers to how the firm finances its assets (i.e., the possibility of loss due to heavy debt financing)

41
Q

Reg D accredited investor

Accredited (Unlimited):

Net worth of $1 million or,

Individual with income of $200,000 or,

Couple with income of $300,000

Non-Accredited Issue:

sold to a maximum of 35 investors Must use a purchaser representative if not “sophisticated”

42
Q

using duration to manage bond portfolios

A

If interest rates are expected to rise, shorten duration (Interest rates up, shorten Duration)

Remember: UPS: UP for “up” and S for “shorten”

If interest rates are expected to fall, lengthen duration. Buy low coupon bonds with long maturities. Interest rates fall → lengthen duration.

Remember: FALLEN - FAL for “fall” and LEN for “Lengthen.”

43
Q

treasury securities

A

OIDs: issued at discount from par value. Each year a portion of the discount is “earned” and taxable (phantom)

Bills/Notes/Bonds: marketable securities, there is no state or loval income tax on interest. Bills are quoted in terms of discount to yield.

STRIPS: zero-coupon, direct obligation of fed. discount is treated as taxable income, earned annually (phantom)

TIPS: Face value is adjusted semiannually to keep pace with inflation. taxed annually on the interest payment (phantom) plus appreciation in face value.

44
Q

options taxation

A

At the Time of Purchase: Non-deductible Capital Expenditure

To the Writer Due to Lapse: Premium received is a short-term gain

To the Writer Due to Exercise: Premium received is added to sale price (can be long term gain if underlying security was held more than 12 months, otherwise short term).

Covered Call. To the Holder: If the option is NOT exercised, then the option is considered sold (it expires) and it is a short-term loss. The option period is 9 months or less.

45
Q

strategies to deal with concentrated portfolios

ESOP

Charitable remainder trust

Put options

Exchange funds

46
Q

A

margin call = debit balance/(1-maintenance margin)

debit balance = amount owed to broker

47
Q

how much money is needed to satisfy a margin call?

A
  1. current stock price X maintenance margin % = required equity
  2. current stock price - debit balance = current equity
  3. required - current = amount owed
48
Q

HPR

A

(ending value - beginning value +/- cash flows)/Beginning value

49
Q

risks of corporate and muni bonds

A

Default: A creditor may seize the collateral and sell it to recoup the principal

Reinvestment: As payments are received from an investment, interest rates may fall. When the funds are reinvested the investor receives a lower yield.

Interest Rate: Rising interest rates may cause bond prices to fall

Purchasing Power: Inflation may lower the value of bond interest payments and principal repayment, thereby forcing bond prices to fall.

Study Hint: Remember: D.R.I.P.

50
Q

A

Large: > $10 billion

Mid: $2-10 billion

Small: < $2 billion

51
Q

ROE

ROE = Earnings Available for Common (EPS) / Common Equity (net worth or book value)

52
Q
