答案 Q1 A Q2 D Q3 C = !" + #" Q4 D 题干说 do not resemble a single-index structure, 即使用 Markowitz 模型时需要用到的
参数数量为: 1 个 risk-free rate n 个 sample means n 个 sample variances (%!&%)! 个 sample covariances Q5 B 题干说 resemble a single-index structure, 即使用 SIM 模型时需要用到的参数数量为: ( , ()), )! 各一个 n 个 sample means n 个 sample variances n 个 Beta Q6 C 第一步:正确列出 SIM 公式 = + ) + * 注意 表示的是 Excess Return,即 需要扣掉 risk-free rate * 代表着 error term,如果题目没有明说,一般可以默认为 0 第二步:正确代入 SIM公式,求解 0.11 = 0 + × (0.16 − 0.05) + 0 解出β = 1 Q7 C 第一步:从五个和 beta相关的公式中,找出正确的公式 ! = !+! + ,! 由于题目说 well-diversified portfolio,因此 ,! = 0 (因为 unsystematic risk 都被分散掉了,木得了) 第二步:正确代入公式,求解 0.2! = ! × 0.16! + 0 得出 = 1.25 Q8 C 第一步:从五个和 beta相关的公式中,找出正确的公式 ! = !+!!

第二步:从题干中找到正确数据
注意,题干中的 R2A 其实指的是 r-squared,并不是指 return,如果你把这个数据当做return 使用,这道题就解不出来了。所以这道题是个很坑的题型,条件给的不明不白
的。
另外还有一个坑点,就是题目给你的!是已经平方了的,不需要再平方一次 ! = 0.25 ) = 0.25
那么,公式中所需要的 beta 哪里来? Beta 在题干中的 Single Index Model 公式中暗暗的告诉你了,它是等式的斜率 = 0.9
第三步:正确代入公式,求解 0.25 = 0.9! × 0.25!!
解出 = 0.45
注意,如果你算出的答案是 0.2025,这个是 variance,而不是 standard deviation Q9 B 第一步:从五个和 beta相关的公式中,找出正确的公式 F* , -G = *-)!
第二步:从题干中找到正确数据 . = 0.5 / = 1.3 ) = 0.25
第三步:正确代入公式,求解(, ) (., /) = 0.5 × 1.3 × 0.25! = 0.040625 Q10 C Q11 B Q12 D Q13 A Q14 D Q15 B 第一步:用 CAPM公式算出 equilibrium 状态下的 () :() = ( + F+ − (G = 0.04 + 1.3 × (0.115 − 0.04) = 0.1375 第二步:那 CAPM算出的 () 和题目告诉你的 your opinion 比较 () = 0.1375 > 0.13 你可以计算通过 alpha,来判断它是高估了还是低估了

= 0.13 − 0.1375 = −0.0075 < 0 → 如果弄不清楚这个逻辑,可以直接代入 Excel 计算器,专门有一页是给这个题的 Q16 A 原理同 15 题 Q17 B 原理同 15 题,建议使用 Excel 计算器的模板 Overpriced 和 sell 是绑定的,所以他们必须出现在一个选项中 Under-priced 和 buy 是绑定的 Q18 D 把 = 0 代入 CAPM 的公式,就能得出回报率等于( Q19 B Security Market Line 是 CAPM 等式的那条直线 Overpriced 代表着 negative alpha,回报率低于 CAPM,因此在 SML 下方 Underpriced 代表着 positive alpha,回报率高于 CAPM,因此在 SML 上方 你看,很绕吧 Q20 D CAPM 的一大假设就是没有 tax,所以 C 和 E 不能选 不要一看到这种题就选最长的那个选项,可能有坑 Q21 C 这题的 C 选项就是 CAPM 的一个假设,不需要真的理解,记忆一下即可 一般而言,CAPM 假设所有投资人都有一个 certain investment horizon 但是这不是必须的,只要投资人的 liquidity needs are not priced,CAPM 仍然成立 Q22 A CAPM 假设,所有投资人都只关注一个投资期限内的事情,所以他们都有 the same holding period Q23 D 这道题考察的是这个公式(一般不需要计算) = ()) − ()! 这个公式是计算 y,即分配多少比例的资金到 risky assets 1-y 为分配到 risk-free assets 的资金比例 通过观察公式,你会发现:
§ y 和 ()) 成正比
§ y 和 , )! , ( 成反比 Q24 C 这题是不太常见的概念题,万一考到了,失分率很高 什么是 equilibrium-price relationship is violated?
即,CAPM 估计出来的 return,和实际上的 return 不付了,会有 overpriced 和 underpriced 情况。这时,有些人就可以采取 risk-free arbitrage(无风险套利)的方式,
从差价中获利

Q25 B one-factor APT 就是 Single Index Model
大家看到 APT (Arbitrage Pricing Theory) 这个术语不要害怕,它在我们的题目中,基本
就是只是一个装饰作用,没有啥实际意义,我们该用什么公式还是用什么公式
找出正确的公式 ! = !+! + ,!
和这份练习题中第七题的做法一样 Q26 E 第一步:找到 single-factor APT 公式 = + ## 第二步:分别列出 stock A 和 stock B 的等式 : 15%− 6% = 0 + . × # : 18%− 6% = 0 + 1 × # 第三步:解方程得出结果 # = 12% . = 0.75 Q27 C 第一步:我们先找到multifactor APT 的公式 = + ## + !! +⋯+ %% 遇到这种题,题目给我们什么,我们就代入什么 第二步:整理条件 # = 1.2, # = 5% ! = 0.7, ! = 6% 由于 no arbitrage opportunities exist, = 0 第三步:代入公式 = 0 + 1.2 × 5%+ 0.7 × 6% 得出 = 10.2%
第四步:不要忘记第三步得出来的 R 是 Excess Return,为了求出 risk-free rate,你
要加回 stock expected return = () − ( 10.2% = 17%− (
得出( = 6.8% Q28 A 第一步:我们先找到multifactor APT 的公式 = + ## + !! +⋯+ %% 第二步:代入公式(这题因为有两个 portfolio A 和 B,所以我们要代入两次) : 19% − 6% = 0 + 1 × # + 2 × !
HD EDU

15
: 12% − 6% = 0 + 2 × # + 0 × !
第三步:解方程 # = 3% Q29 A Q30 E 第一步:我们先找到multifactor APT 的公式 = + ## + !! +⋯+ %% 第二步:代入公式 = 0 + 1.2 × 4%+ 0.8 × 3% = 7.2%
第三步:千万不要忘记,公式求出来的是 Excess Return,你需要加回 () = + ( = 7.2% + 6% = 13.2% Q31 C Q32 B 题干中说的 Regression line 即 Security Characteristic Line (SCL),也是 SIM Model 的回
归直线,它的斜率为 beta ,截距为 alpha = + ## =实际回报率− CAPM 回报率
