a.
Summary Introduction
To compute: The Sharpe ratios for the Miranda fund and the S&P 500.
Introduction:
Sharpe ratio: It is one of risk measurement ratios. When a performance of an investment has to be done and that too in comparison with a risk-free asset, Sharpe ratio is utilized.
a.
Expert Solution
Answer to Problem 21PS
The Sharpe ratio for Mirinda Fund is 0.2216 and S&P 500 is -0.5568.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Risk-free interest rate=2%
| One- year Trailing Returns | ||
| Miranda Fund | S&P 500 | |
| Return | 10.20% | -22.50% |
| Standard deviation | 37.00% | 44.00% |
| Beta | 1.10 | 1.00 |
Let us calculate the Sharpe ratio using the formula:
Let us now substitute the given values in the formula.
| Mirinda Fund | S&P 500 | |
| Sharpe Ratio |
Therefore, the Sharpe ratio for Mirinda Fund is 0.2216 and S&P 500 is -0.5568.

Summary Introduction
To compute: The M2 measures for Miranda and S&P 500.
Introduction:
M2 measure: It is also termed as M-square measure. It is used to calculate the return which has to be adjusted for the risk associated with a portfolio along with benchmark.
b.
Expert Solution
Answer to Problem 21PS
The M2 of Mirinda Fund (portfolio P) would be 34.25%.
Explanation of Solution
Giveninformation:
Risk-free interest rate=2%
| One- year Trailing Returns | ||
| Miranda Fund | S&P 500 | |
| Return | 10.20% | -22.50% |
| Standard deviation | 37.00% | 44.00% |
| Beta | 1.10 | 1.00 |
The formula to calculate the M2is as follows:-
Where,
One point to be kept in mind is that to get the position of volatility which is similar to the market, the funds have to be combined with the T-Bills.
Let us now calculate the adjusted portfolio.
Now, we have to calculate the position in T-Bills:
Therefore, when we check for the weight of Mirinda fund in adjusted portfolio, it will be 1.1892 and when amount is borrowed at a rate which is equal to 0.1892 will result in risk-free rate.
Therefore, the end result would be as follows:
Volatility of return of portfolio=Volatility in return on market index.
Now, let us calculate the M2of Mirinda Fund:
This value has to be converted into percentage by multiplying it with 100.
Therefore, the M2 of Mirinda Fund (portfolio P) would be 34.25%

Summary Introduction
To compute: The Treynor’s measure ratios for the Miranda fund and the S&P 500.
Introduction:
Treynor’s ratio: It is also termed as Treynor’s measure in some instances. It is one of the measures used to calculate the risk adjusted return. It calculates the returns on the basis of systematic risk which differentiates this ratio with other related ratios.

Expert Solution
Answer to Problem 21PS
The Sharpe ratio for Mirinda Fund is 7.45% and S&P 500 is -24.50%.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Risk-free interest rate=2%
| One- year Trailing Returns | ||
| Miranda Fund | S&P 500 | |
| Return | 10.20% | -22.50% |
| Standard deviation | 37.00% | 44.00% |
| Beta | 1.10 | 1.00 |
The formula to be used to calculate the Treynor’s measure is as follows:
Where
RP=Return on portfolio
RF= Risk free
ß = Systematic risk
| Mirinda Fund | S&P 500 | |
| Treynor’s measure |
Therefore, the Sharpe ratio for Mirinda Fund is 7.45% and S&P 500 is -24.50%.

Ingabire is a portfolio manager for the Nyamata Fund, a core large-cap equity fund. The market proxy and benchmark for performance measurement purposes is the S&P 500. Although the Nyamata portfolio generally mirrors the asset class and sector weightings of the S&P, Ingabire is allowed a significant amount of leeway in managing the fund. His portfolio holds only stocks found in the S&P 500 and cash.
Ingabire was able to produce exceptional returns last year (as outlined in the table below) through his market-timing and security selection skills. At the outset of the year, he became extremely concerned that the combination of a weak economy and geopolitical uncertainties would negatively impact the market. Taking a bold step, he changed his market allocation. For the entire year his asset class exposures averaged 50% in stocks and 50% in cash. The S&P’s allocation between stocks and cash during the period was a constant 97% and 3%, respectively. The risk-free rate of…

Bart Campbell, CFA, is a portfolio manager who has recently met with a prospective client, Jane Black. After conducting a survey market line (SML) performance analysis using the Dow Jones Industrial Average as her market proxy, Black claims that her portfolio has experienced superior performance. Campbell uses the capital asset pricing model as an investment performance measure and finds that Black’s portfolio plots below the SML. Campbell concludes that Black’s apparent superior performance is a function of an incorrectly specified market proxy, not superior investment management. Justify Campbell’s conclusion by addressing the likely effects of an incorrectly specified market proxy on both beta and the slope of the SML.
