Question 1.3 (d) (e) (f) on attachment!!

(d)Suppose that an investor has $40 invested in the active fund and $60 in cash (measured in

thousands, say). What investments in the passive fund, the hedge fund, and cash (i.e., the riskfree

asset) would yield the same market exposure, same alpha, same volatility, and same

exposure to ???????? ? As a result, what is the fair management fee for the hedge fund in the sense

that it would make the investor indifferent between the two allocations (assume that the hedge

fund charges a zero performance fee)?

e. If the hedge fund charges a management fee of 2%, what performance fee makes the expected

fee the same as above? Ignore high water marks and ignore the fact that returns can be negative,

but recall that performance fees are charged as a percentage of the (excess) return after

management fees. Specifically, assume the performance fee is a fraction of the hedge fund?s

outperformance above the risk?free interest rate.

f. Comment on whether it is clear that hedge funds that charge 2?and?20 fees are ?expensive?

relative to typical mutual funds. More broadly, what should determine fees for active

management?

The compendium contains exercises for each chapter in the book, except the introductory chapters (i.e., chapters 6, 10, 13). I am grateful for feedback from students and colleagues at New York University Stern School of Business and Copenhagen Business School and especially to Niklas Kohl for taking the lead on developing several of the exercises (7.17.6, 9.89.12, 16.116.8). Several of the exercises require additional material, which is distributed separately. For example, several problems rely on data to be processed in a spreadsheet such as Excel, while other problems rely on financial statements such as merger offers. Professors who use the book can contact me for this material. Lasse Heje Pedersen 3 Exercises for Efficiently Inefficient 1. Exercises\tfor\tUnderstanding\tHedge\tFunds\tand\tOther\tSmart\tMoney 1.1.
