33、tatements is least likely an example of a portfolio constraint?（分数：3.00）A.Tax concerns.B.Liquidity needs.C.Total return requirements. 解析：解析 总回报率要求属于投资目标的范畴，而不属于投资组合的约束形式。投资组合的约束形式主要包括以下四个方面：(1)流动性；(2)投资回收期限(包含税收因素)；(3)法律法规的约束；(4)特别需求或偏好。2.In determining the appropriate asset allocation for a client“

37、ficient was 0, a zero variance portfolio could be constructed. B.Potential benefits from diversification arise when correlation coefficient is less than 0.C.The lower the correlation coefficient, the greater the potential benefits from diversification.解析：解析 只有当相关系数为-1，亦即投资资产回报率之间完全负相关时，才能够构建零方差投资组合。

38、相关系数为 0意味着各投资资产回报率之间不存在任何联系，从而并不能构建零方差投资组合。因此，选项 A的阐述是错误的。 相关系数取值范围为闭区间-1，1。相关系数为-1 表示两种证券回报率的变化方向完全相反，称为完全负相关；相关系数为+1 则表示两种证券回报率的变化方向完全相同，称为完全正相关；相关系数为 0表示两种证券回报率的变动之间不存在任何关系；相关系数在区间(-1，0)内，表示两种证券回报率的变化方向相反，但不是百分之百地完全相反，而是只存在一般性的负相关关系；相关系数在区间(0，1)内，表示两种证券回报率的变化方向相同，但不是百分之百地完全相同，而是只存在一般性的正相关关系。一般来讲，

39、如果两种证券之间的相关系数为负值，则可能会降低组合后的投资风险，而如果它们之间的相关系数为正值，则可能会加大组合后的投资风险。以上结论也适用于投资资产数量大于 2的投资组合。因此，选项 B和选项 C的阐述是正确的。4.An analyst has gathered monthly returns for two stock indexes A and B: month returns for Index A returns for Index B 1 2 3 4 -6.4% 6.6% 12. 9% 3.2% -6.2% 19.0% -7.7% 4.0% The covariance betwe

43、特征是：随着投资者所承担风险(标准差)的增加，其所获得的投资回报率也将随之增加。也就是说，投资组合的回报率与标准差同方向变动。在本题中，A、B、C 三个投资组合的标准差依次上升。假设上述三个投资组合均位于马科维茨有效边界上，则它们的回报率也应当相应依次上升。但是，由题干给出的数据可知，尽管投资组合 B的标准差高于投资组合 A，但其回报率却低于后者。因此，投资组合 B一定位于马科维茨有效边界以下。 6.What is the risk measure associated with the capital market line (CML)?（分数：2.00）A.Beta.B.Market ri

44、sk.C.Standard deviation. 解析：解析 资本市场线(CML)反映了所有可能的无风险资产与风险性投资组合所组成的投资组合的风险和回报情况。资本市场线的一般表达式为： 7.A portfolio to the right of the market portfolio on the CML is:（分数：2.00）A.a lending portfolio.B.a borrowing portfolio. C.an inefficient portfolio.解析：解析 如图所示，当投资者选择图中，点所对应的投资组合时，意味着投资者将全部资金都用于对无风险资产的投资。当投资者

45、选择图中 M点所对应的投资组合时，意味着投资者将全部资金都用于对 M点所代表的风险性投资组合的投资。如果投资者选择图中 F、M 两点之间的投资组合，则味着同时持有无风险资产和风险性投资组合 M，亦即将部分资金按照无风险利率借贷出去(如购买政府债券)，将剩余资金投资于风险性投资组合 M。对于线段 FM延长线上的各点来说，投资者选择这类均衡点上的投资组合，意味着投资者不仅将全部资金用于对风险性投资组合 M的投资，同时还通过借入资金来增加对该投资组合的投资总额。 8.For an investor borrowing money at the risk-free interest rate to i

46、nvest in the market portfolio, the estimated rate of return of his portfolio is most likely to:（分数：2.00）A.increase. B.decrease.C.remain unchanged.解析：解析 对于希望预期回报率高于市场组合回报率的投资者而言，这类投资者通常希望使用财务杠杆来借入无风险利率资金。如图所示，从资本市场线的角度来讲，此类借入资金的投资者的投资组合位于市场组合(M)右端的资本市场线上，从而其投资者的预期回报率相应上升。因此，本题的正确选项为 A。 9.A completely

47、 diversified portfolio will most likely result in the elimination of:（分数：2.00）A.systematic risk.B.unsystematic risk. C.both systematic risk and unsystematic risk.解析：解析 如图所示，完全多样化的投资组合(如市场组合)将消除全部非系统风险，但无法通过投资多样化来消除系统风险。 10.As the number of stocks in a portfolio increases, the portfolio“s systematic

48、risk:（分数：2.00）A.can increase or decrease. B.decreases at a decreasing rate.C.decreases at an increasing rate.解析：解析 随着投资组合中股票数量的增加，该投资组合的非系统风险将以下降的速度减少，直至最终趋于零。但对于系统风险而言，则要分两种情况加以考虑：如果新增加股票具有较高的 值，则投资组合的系统风险将相应增加；反之，如果新增加股票具有较低的 值，则投资组合的系统风险将相应减少。11.Beta can be viewed as:（分数：2.00）A.a measure of unsys

49、tematic risk.B.covariance of an asset with the market portfolio. C.correlation coefficient of an asset with the market portfolio.解析：解析 值是系统风险的度量指标，从而可知选项 A是错误的。 证券 i的 值的计算公式为： 12.The covariance of the market“s returns with the stock“s returns is 0.007 and the standard deviation of the market“s returns is 0.15.
