Consider an index fund that contains the following four stocks: American Campus Communities, Inc. (ACC), Global Net Lease, Inc. (GNL), Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated (JLL), and Merck & Co., Inc. (MRK). On March 30, 2022, the stock prices at close were: ACC $56.73 GNL $15.65 JLL $243.22 MRK $82.40 The mutual fund held the following numbers of shares in these companies: Shares (million) ACC 2.087 GNL 1.558 JLL 0.748 MRK 37.950 On March 30, the mutual fund had 25 million shares outstanding. Calculate the net asset value per mutual fund share (in dollars). During the day on March 30, the fund had a net cash inflow of $250 million. How many shares of MRK did the index fund manager have to purchase in order to maintain a portfolio with the same portfolio weights as at the start of the day? You should assume that the fund manager invests all net inflows in securities at market close prices on March 30. She holds no cash balance.
You are given the following information concerning several mutual funds: Fund Return in Excess of the Treasury Bill Rate Beta A 12.4% 1.14 B 13.2% 1.22 C 11.4% 0.90 D 9.8% 0.76 E 12.6% 0.95 During the time period, the Standard & Poor's stock index exceeded the Treasury bill rate by 10.5 percent (i.e., r(m) - r(f) = 10.5%) a. Rank the performance of each fund without adjusting for risk and adjusting for risk using the Treynor index. Which, if any, outperformed the market? (Remember, the beta of the market is 1.0.) b. The analysis in part (a) assumes each fund is sufficiently diversified so that the appropriate measure of risk is the beta coefficient. Suppose,…

Investing: Inverse Mutual Funds Inverse mutual funds, sometimes referred to as "bear market" or "short" funds, seek to deliver the opposite of the performance of the index or category they track, and can thus be used by traders to bet against the stock market. This question is based on the following table, which shows the performance of three such funds as of February 27, 2015.† Year-to-date Loss SHPIX (Short Smallcap Profund) 4% RYURX (Rydex Inverse S&P 500) 3% RYCWX (Rydex Inverse Dow) 6% You invested a total of $12,000 in the three funds at the beginning of 2015, including an equal amount in RYURX and RYCWX. Your year-to-date loss from the first two funds amounted to $330. How much did you invest in each of the three funds?

As an equity analyst, you have developed the following return forecasts and risk estimates for two different stock mutual funds (Fund T and Fund U}: Forecasted Return CAPM Beta Fund T 9.00% 1.20 Fund U 10.00% 0.80 a. If the risk-free rate is 3.9 percent and the expected market risk premium (£(RM) -RFR} is 6.1 percent, calculate the expected return for each mutual fund according to the CAPM. b. Using the estimated expected returns from part (a) along with your own return forecasts, demonstrate whether Fund T and Fund U are currently priced to fall directly on the security market line (SML), above the SML, or below the SML. c. According to your analysis, are Funds T and U overvalued, undervalued, or properly valued?
