Q

Revenue Bonds

A

Backed by specific source of revenue to which the full faith and credit is NOT pledged. Because revenue bonds are backed by a single source of funds (Like toll roads, hospitals, or nuclear power plants) , they have greater credit risk then GO bonds. As such, they trade at higher yields.

Q

Real Estate (Land - improved) (NOI)

A

Improved land is normally income producing. Income properties include residential rental, commercial and industrial properties. The intrinsic value of real estate property can be computed using a net operating income NOI computation.

Gross Rental Receipts
\+ Nonrental income (laundry etc.) 
=Potential Gross income (PGI)
-Vacancy and collection losses 
-Operating Expenses (excludes interest and depreciation) 
= Net operating income (NOI)

Q

Intrinsic Value

A

is the minimum price the option will command as an option. It is the difference between the market price and the exercise price of the stock.

26
Q

Exercise Price (strike price)

A

if the price at which the stock can be purchased or sold on exercise of the option

27
Q

Premium (options)

A

is the market price of an option. As the option approaches its expiration date, the market price of the option (the premium) approaches its intrinsic value.

28
Q

Time Premium (options)

A

is the amount the market price of an option exceeds its intrinsic value

29
Q

Call Options - Taxability

A

at the time of purchase: non-deductible capital expenditure

  1. to the writer due to lapse: premium paid is short term gain
  2. To the writer due to exercise: premium paid is added to sale price (can be long term gain if underlying security is held more then 12mo otherwise short term gain) Covered Call
  3. 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 9months or less.
30
Q

Straddle

A

buying a put and buying a call; the buyer does NOT own the stock

31
Q

Collar

A

Sells a call (out of the money) at one strike price and buys a put at a lower price; investor OWNS the stock

32
Q

Protective Put

A

buying a stock (or owning it already) and a put for the stock serving as insurance against the decline in the underlying stock. (good answer for exam)

33
Q

Warrants vs Call options

A
  • Warrants are issued by corporations, whereas calls are created by individuals
  • Warrants typically have maturities of servers years
  • Warrant terms are not standardized, call options are standardized
34
Q

Reg D Accredited vs Non-accredited

A

Accredited (unlimited)

  1. Net worth of 1mm +
  2. Annual Income over $ 200,000
  3. Couple with joint income of $300,000

Non- Accredited

  1. Sold to a maximum 35 investors
  2. Must use a purchaser representative if not “sophisticated”
35
Q

Coefficient of determination R^2

A

The square of the correlation coefficient measuring the proportion of variation in one variable explained by the movement of the other

How is R^2 used on the exam?
it describes the % of a funds movement that are explained by the movements in the S&P 500. Index funds/ diversified funds based on the S&P 500 will have R^2 of very close to 100% while sector funds (not diversified) will have very low R^2 (typically 5%-25%)

36
Q

Standard Deviation (risk level)

A

measures the variability of returns used in a non-diversified portfolio and is a measure of total risk

37
Q

Beta (risk)

A

An index of volatility used in a diversified portfolio and is a measure of systematic risk

38
Q

Geometric return vs Internal rate of return (IRR)

A

Geometric Return or Time weighted return- evaluates the performance of the portfolio manager

IRR or dollar wighted return- compares absolute dollar amounts

39
Q

Real rate if return

A

the inflation adjusted interest rate

40
Q

Nominal Rate of Return

A

actual returns not adjusted for inflation

41
Q

Holding period of return (HPR)

A

the total return (income plus price appreciation and dividends less margin interest) over the entire period divided by the out of pocket cost of the investment

42
Q

Taxable Equivalent Yield (TEY)

A

to make the returns on municipal bonds comparable to those of taxable bonds, the tax equivalent yield can be calculated.

TEY= tax exempt yield / 1 - marginal tax rate

or

tax exempt yield= TEY x (1 - marginal tax rate)

43
Q

Duration

A
  • Years to maturity ( remember duration and maturity are positively related)
  • Annual coupon (remember duration is inversely related to coupon rate)
  • YTM, the current yield on comparative bonds (duration is inversely related)

remember - coupon and yield are interest rates ( inversely related)

44
Q

Zero Coupon Bonds

A
  • Duration equal to their maturities
  • No coupon interest, yet produces “phantom” income
  • no reinvestment risk
  • sold at deep discount
  • Fluctuate more than coupon bonds with same maturities
45
Q

Using Duration to manage bond portfolios

A

if interest rates are expected to rise, shorten duration ( interest rates up shorten duration - UPS - UP for up and S for shorten) Buy high coupon bonds with short maturities. If interest rates are expected to fall legthen duration. Buy low coupon bonds with long maturities (interest rates fall - lengthen duration - FALLEN - FAL for fall and LEN for lengthen)

46
Q

Conclusions for fluctuations in bond prices

A
  • the smaller the coupon the greater the relative price fluctuation
  • the longer the term to maturity, the greater the relative price fluctuation
  • the lower the market interest rate the greater the relative price fluctuation
47
Q

Convexity

A
  • the degree to which duration changes as the yield to maturity changes
  • largest for low coupon bonds, long maturity bonds and low yield to maturity bonds
  • allows investor to improve the duration approximation for bond price changes
48
Q

Return on Equity (ROE)

A

ROE = EPS/ Common Equity

EPS = earnings available for common

Common Equity = Net worth or book value

49
Q

Dividend Payout Ratio

A

DPR = common dividends paid/ EPS

EPS: earnings available for common

50
Q

Strong Form Market hypothesis

A

asserts that stock prices fully reflect ALL INFORMATION, public and private. Not even access to inside information can be expected to result in superior investment performance over time. Neither fundamental analysis not technical analysis can produce results over time on a risk adjusted basis.

51
Q

Semi Strong Form Market Hypothesis

A

Asserts that all publicly known information is reflected in stock prices. Neither technical analysis or fundamental analysis can produce superior results over time on a risk adjusted basis. Only an investor with access to INSIDE INFORMATION may consistently achieve superior results

52
Q

Weak Form Market Hypothesis

A

suggests historical price data is already reflected in current stock prices and is of no value in predicting future price changes. Technical analysis will not produce superior results. Fundamental analysis may produce superior results!

53
Q

Tax Basis of Mutual Fund

A
  • First in first out (shares acquired first sold first)
  • specific ID (pick specific lots)
  • Average cost method (divide total cost of all shares)
54
Q

Risk Adjusted Measures of performance (Sharpe)

A

1st key:
Look for low R^2 (less than 60) or non-diversified portfolio

2nd Key: Look for highest sharpe number

55
Q

Risk of adjusted measures of performance (Jensen (alpha)/ Treynor)

A

1st Key: Look for high R^2 (60+) or diversified portfolio

2nd Key: look for the highest positive alpha if not alpha given look for the highest trey nor number

56
Q

Margin (Maintenance) Call

A

(1 - Initial megin % / 1 - maintenance margin %) x Purchase price of stock

57
Q

Passive Investment Strategies

A
  • Buy and hold
  • DCA
  • index investing
  • strategic asset allocation ( revised every few years)
58
Q

Active Investment Strategies

A
  • Market timing
  • Tactical asset Allocation
  • Technical analysis
59
Q

Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) keys

A
  • unexpected inflation
  • unexpected changes in industrial production
  • unanticipated shifts in risk premium
  • unanticipated changes in structure of yields
60
Q

Futures Contracts

A

Long Commodity Position: if a farmer is long a commodity ( corn) he needs a short hedge and will sell a futures contract

Short Commodity Position: If Kellogg’s is a short commodity (corn) they need a long hedge and will buy futures contracts
