Q

What are the Types of Municipal Securities?

A
  • General Obligation Bonds (GO Bonds): Backed by the full faith, credit and taxing power of the issuer. GO Bonds are generally considered the safest types of municipal credit.
  • Revenue Bonds: Backed by a specific sources of revenue to which the full faith and credit of the issuer is NOT pledged. Because revenue bonds are backed by a single source of funds (like toll roads, hospitals, power plants, etc.), they have a greater credit risk than GO Bonds. As such, they trade at higher yields.
  • Insured Municipal Bonds: The insurers pay timely interest and principal when the issuer is in default. Municipal bond insurers are AMBAC and MBIA.

Q

What are the Risks of Corporate and Municipal Bonds?

A
  • Default: A creditor may seize the collateral and sell it to recoup the principal
  • Reinvestment: As payments are received from an investment, interest rates may fall. When the funds are reinvested the investor receives a lower yield.
  • Interest Rate: Rising interest rates may cause bond prices to fall
  • Purchasing Power: Inflation may lower the value of bond interest payments and principal repayment, thereby forcing bond prices to fall.

Q

What is the NOI calculation for Improved Land/Real Estate?

A

Improved land is normally income producing.

Income properties include residential rental, commercial and industrial properties. The intrinsic value of a real estate property can be computed using a Net Operating Income (NOI) calculation.

Gross Rental Receipts plus Non-rental Income (laundry, etc.) equals Potential Gross Income (PGI) minus Vacancy and collection losses minus Operating Expenses (excludes interest and depreciation) = Net Operating Income (NOI)

Q

What are General Definitions for Options?

A
  • Intrinsic Value is the minimum price the option will command as an option. It is the difference betwen the market price and exercise price of the stock.
  • Exercise Price is the price at which the stock can be purchased or sold on exercise of the option.
  • Premium is the market price of an option. As the option approaches its expiration date the market price of the option (Premium) approaches its Intrinsic Value Time. Premium is the amount the market prices of an option exceeds its intrinsic value.

Study Hint: IV + TV = Premium

Q

What is the Taxability of Call Options?

A

At the Time of Purchase: Non-deductible Capital Expenditure

To the Writer Due to Lapse: Premium received is a short-term gain

To the Writer Due to Exercise: Premium received is added to sale price (can be long term gain if underlying security was held more than 12 months, otherwise short term). Covered Call.

To the Holder: If the option is NOT exercised, then the option is considered sold (it expires) and it is a short-term loss. The option period is 9 months or less.

Q

Define: Hedging Strategies - Straddles, Collar, Protective Put

A

Straddle: Buying a Put and Buying a Call - The buyer does NOT own the stock.

Collar: Selling a Call (out-of-the-money) at one strike price and buying a Put at a lower strike price; investor OWNS the stock.

Protective Put: Buying a stock (or already owning it) and a Put for the stock serving as insurance against the decline in the underlying stock. (Hint: A good answer for the exam)

Q

Coefficient of Determination R2

A

The square of the correlation coefficient measuring the proportion of the variation in one variable explained by the movement of the other variable.

How is R2 used on the exam?

It describes the percentage of a fund’s movement that are explained by the movements in the S&P 500.

Index funds/diversified funds based on the S&P 500 will have R2 of very close to 100%, while sector funds (not diversified) will have very low R2 (typically 5% - 25%).

Q

Taxable Equivalent Yield (TEY)

A

To make the returns on municipal bonds comparable to those of taxable bonds, the TEY can be calculated.

  • TEY = Tax Exempt Yield / (1-Marginal Tax Rate)

OR

  • TEY x (1-Marginal Tax Rate) = Tax Exempt Yield

Annual Coupon: Remember duration is inversely related to coupon rate

YTM: The current yield on comparative bonds (duration is inversely related)

Remember, Coupon and Yield are Interest Rates - Inversely Related.

Q

Rules for using Duration to Manage Bond Portfolios

A

If interest rates are expected to rise, shorten duration (Interest rates up, shorten Duration)

Remember: UPS: UP for “up” and S for “shorten”)

If interest rates are expected to fall, lengthen duration. Buy low coupon bonds with long maturities.

Interest rates fall → lengthen duration.

Remember: FALLEN - FAL for “fall” and LEN for “Lengthen.”

Q

What are three types of Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH)?

A

Strong Form: Asserts that stock prices fully reflect all information, public and private. Not even access to inside info can be expected to result in superior investment performance over time. Neither fundamental analysis nor technical analysis can produce superior results over time on a risk-adjusted basis.

Semi-Strong Form: Asserts that all publicly known information is reflected in stock prices. Neither technical analysis nor fundamental analysis can produce superior results over time on a risk-adjusted basis. Only an investor with access to inside information may consistently achieve superior results (but such access is illegal)

Weak Form: Suggests that historical price data is already reflected in current stock prices and is of no value in predicting future price changes.

Technical analysis will not produce superior results. Fundamental Analysis may produce superior results.

What is a Margin (Maintenance) Call?

A

The formula for calculating when an investor will receive a margin call is:

  • (1 - Initial Margin % ÷ 1 - Maintenance Margin %) x Purchase Price of stock

Shortcut: 2/3 of the purchase price if the minimum maintenance is 25%. If it’s 30%, take 2/3 and then choose the next highest number.

117
Q

Systematic Risk

Measured by Beta

A

NonDiversifiable types of risk:

PRIME

Purchasing power: Inflation

Reinvestment Rate: investing at lower interest rates

Interest rate risk: Change in interest rates will cause security to fall (fixed income)

Market risk: OVERALL market – cannot be avoided

Exchange Rate risk: changes in value of currencies

118
Q

UNsystematic Risk

Diversifiable

A

Can be reduced or elimiated

Business Risk: related to a firms operation

Financial risk (credit/default risk): how a firm finances its assets and operations

119
Q

TOTAL Risk measure by Standard Deviation

Beta is systematic only

A
  • Also called Portfolio Risk
  • Combiation of Systematic and Unsystematic Risk
  • Reduce through diversification

Use adiversified portfolio to eliminate the unsystematic (diversifiable) risk.

After the unsystematic risk is eliminated, what remains is the systematic risk.

120
Q

Political Risk

A

aka sovereignty risk

risk that a foreign government will default on its loan or fail to honor business commitments because of a change in national policy.

121
Q

Devaluation and Revaluation of Currencies relative to the other

A

Devalue: currency decreases

Revalue Increases

122
Q

International currencys

A

investors achieve risk reduction because of lower correlation of foreign securities with U.S. securities

123
Q

Foreign/NonDomestic Stocks

A

Exchange rate risk is constant with a foreign stock, bond, or mutual fund.

foreign stocks are first taxed in the country of origin, then again in the United States.

U.S. taxpayers generally receive a foreign tax credit

Foreign markets are usually less efficient than U.S. markets because fewer analysts follow the stocks.

124
Q

Liquidity and Marketability

A

Liquidity is both transaction speed and stability of price.

Marketability refers to speed of transaction.

The CFP Board may look beyond the definition above by addressing whether or not the investment has a “market” on which it may be bought or sold.

125
Q

Distributions: Normal and Lognormal

A

Normal: Mean is the most likely return, and it’s bell shaped

Lognormal: positively or negatively skewed (depending on where the tail is)

126
Q

Covariance and Correlation Coefficient

A

Correlation coefficient and covariance express the extent to which the movements of stocks in the same portfolio are similar or not.

Covariance considers an infinite possibility of outcomes.

Correlation coefficient falls within a specific range

127
Q

Correlation Coefficient formula

A

To determine the correlation coefficient of the returns in a portfolio on the exam, standard deviation of each security’s return and the covariance between the eturns on the securities are needed.

128
Q

Correlation of Investments 1 and 0

A

Perfectly positively correlated securities have a relationship of +1.0. They move exaclty the same

IF the correl coeff of ij = 1, THEN
SD of the Portfolio = weighted avg of SDs of the two assets.

A correlation coefficient of 0.0 means there is no relationship between the price changes among these securities.

Perfectly negatively correlated securities have a value of -1.0 and risk is completely eliminated. It moves exactly opposite.

129
Q

Coefficient of Variation

A

CV = Standard Deviation / Averge Return

Coefficient of Variation (CV) is a measure of relative variability used to compare investments with widely varying rates of return and standard deviations

130
Q

Standard Deviation vs Beta

A

Standard deviation measures variability of returns used in a nondiversified portfolio and is a measure of total risk.

Beta measures volatility of returns used in a diversified portfolio and is a measure of systematic risk.

131
Q

Standard Deviation above and below the mean

A

In a normal (bell-shaped) distribution,

68% of all results will fall within + one standard deviation of the average or mean

95% of all results will fall within two standard deviations, and

99% withing three standard deviations

132
Q

133
Q

Formula for BETA

A
134
Q

Using Beta for Risk Adjusted returns

A

Beta coefficients can be used to standardize mutual funds for risk.

To standardize for risk, divide an individual fund’s realized return by its beta coefficient

Risk Adj Rate of Return (Standardized risk) = Fund Return / Beta

135
Q

Simple Return = Arithmetic mean

A

Which is the average

Not a good measure of numbers that are %, such as returns

136
Q

Compound Returns = Geometric Mean
AKA Time Weighted Return

measure of the change of wealth over multiple periods and How to calculate

A
  1. Add 1 to the returns expressed as a decimal, (for example, 25% becomes 1.25, 15% becomes 1.15,-12% becomes .88)
  2. Multiply the returns results of step 1
  3. The result of step 1 becomes the future value (FV)
  4. -1 is always the present value (PV)
  5. N is the number of years of the investment
  6. Use financial calculator to solve for i.
137
Q

Why Use Geometric Mean

A

The main use of the geometric mean (time-weighted return) is to evaluate the performance of the portfolio manager

138
Q

Time-weighted return

A

eliminates the effects of additions and withdrawals and their timing that distort dollar-weighted return

139
Q

Dollar-weighted return

same as IRR/NPV

A

measures changes in total dollar value

additions and withdrawals of capital as part of the return along with income and capital gains and losses

140
Q

Real rate of return aka inflation-adjusted interest rate

A

Real Rate of Return = [(1 + after-tax return / 1 + inflation) -1] x 100

1.infl [input] then 1.return then [shift %chg]

141
Q

Nominal Return

A

given period computed without accounting for the purchasing power of the dollar inflation.

142
Q

Total Return

A

annual return on an investment including appreciation or loss and dividends or interest.

143
Q

Risk Adjust return

A

The return has been altered to account for the differences in risk among variables of the same type.

144
Q

Holding period return (HPR)

A

HPR = total return / cost of investment

Weakness: If the time period of the investment is greater than one year, the HPR overstates the true annualized return. If it is less than one year, then it understates.

HPR = Selling price+div&Inc-purchase price
———————————————–
purchase price

145
Q

Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

When is it good?

A

When the IRR is greater than the required return, the investment is acceptable.

Use Cfj – remember +/-

If comparing to known return … use i/yr after ALL cash flows entered

THEN NPV

146
Q

Caluclate Current Yield of a Bond

A

Current Yield of a bond = Annual Interest $ / Bond’s Current Price

147
Q

TEY

Taxable Equivalent Yield

A

Taxable Equivalent Yield = Tax Exempt Yield / 1 - tax rate

148
Q

Bond Duration Relationships

A

of years goes Up=> Duration goes UP

Yield to Maturity goes Up => Duration goes DOWN

Coupon goes UP => Duration goes DOWN

Convexity goes up => Duration goes UP

Duration of a Zero Coupon = maturity

Shorter Duration Less Risk

149
Q

Interest rate risk and reinvestment rate risk

A

Reinvestment risk is uncertainty about the rate at which future income can be reinvested.

150
Q

Immunization
This passive investment strategy

A

152
Q

Bond price volatility guidelines

A
  • When the coupon is smaller, the relative price fluctuation is greater
  • When the term to maturity is longer, the relative price fluctuation is greater
  • When the market interest rate is lower, the relative price fluctuation is greater

If interest rates rise buy high coupons with short maturities

UpS Shorten Maturities

DowN LeNgthen, loNger maturities

153
Q

Zero Growth Model

Good for Preverred Stock

A

  • *_________________________________**
  • *Required RoR** - Growth rate of dividend

formula won’t work if NO dividend use free cash flow FCF

155
Q

Dividend Discount Model

A
  • If the market lowers the required rate of return for a stock, the value of the common stock will rise
  • The opposite (higher required rate of return or lower dividends) lowers the value of the common stock
  • If investors expect that growth in dividends will be higher as a result of favorable development for the firm, the value of the common stock will rise
156
Q

Dividend discount model shortcuts

A

Shortcut #1
If the 1st growth rate is lower than the second growth rate, choose the next lowest number in the answer.

calculate the value using the DDM with the 2nd return only

Shortcut #2
If the first growth rate is higher than the second growth rate, choose the next highest number in the
answer.

Dividend Payout ratio and EPS formula

A

Dividend Payout Ratio=Dividends Paid/EPS common stock

EPS = ROE (per share) × Book Value or Net Worth (per share)

164
Q

Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT)
seeks to quantify the relationship
between risk and return.

A
  1. Security valuation: Describing a universe of assets in terms of expected return and expected risk
  2. Asset allocation decision: Determining how assets are to be distributed among classes of investment
  3. Portfolio optimization: Reconciling risk and return ie. portfolio with best return for a given level of expected risk
  4. Performance measurement: Dividing each stock’s performance (risk) into market-related (systematic) and industry/security-related (residual) classifications
165
Q

CML expresses the macro aspect of modern portfolio theory

A
166
Q

The CML shows the relationship between risk and returns for ALL possible portfolios

A

The CML reveals the following:
•The expected return on a fully diversified portfolio
•That a diversified portfolio should fall somewhere along the CML
•That individual securities or inefficient portfolios fall below the CML
•That it cannot be used to evaluate the performance of a single security or a portfolio that lacks
full diversification
•That Rf is the risk-free return (100% T-bills)

167
Q

Security Market Line and Market Risk Premium

A

ri = rf + (rm - rf) *Bi = SML

Erm - Rf = Market risk premium

(Erm - rf )*B = stock risk premium

168
Q

Efficient Market Hypotheses

A

Strong form=stock prices fully reflect all information, both public and private. Neither fundamental analysis nor technical analysis produces superior results

Semi-strong form=all publicly known information is fully reflected in stock prices. Neither technical analysis nor fundamental analysis can produce superior results

Weak form=historical price data is already reflected in current stock prices and is of no value in predicting future price changes. Fundamental analysis may produce superior results

169
Q

Anomalies

A
  • P/E effect: Stocks with low P/E ratios perform better than stocks with high P/E ratios
  • Small-firm effect: Stocks of small firms outperforms stocks of large firms. A “small” firm is one with total market value in the lowest 20% of all stocks
  • January effect: Stocks decline at the end of the year and rebound in January, especially in the first five trading days
  • Neglected-firm effect: Stocks of firms not commonly studied by analysts outperform stocks of firms that receive considerable attention from analysts
  • Value Line phenomenon: Stocks rated “1” (the top ranking) by the Value Line Investment Survey outperform those ranked “5” by the survey
170

175
Q

Exdividend Date

A

The date of record for the corporation is the first business day after the ex-dividend date. On that record date, settled trades are reflected on the corporation’s books. To be on the corporation’s books as holder of record and thus receive the current dividend, the investor must purchase stock before the ex-dividend date.

176
Q

Performance measures

(if R squared is below 60 you are not sharpe
above you need an alpha Treynor)

A
  • Sharpe: This measure is expressed as the ratio of the excess return of the portfolio to its standard deviation
  • Treynor ratio expressed as the ratio of the excess return of the portfolio to its beta.
  • Apha aka Jensen ratio: This measure calculates the portfolio return actually attained and subtracts from it what the return should have been based on the risk assumed in the portfolio. Measure of portfolio manager.
177
Q

Q

Stock Option Collar Hedge Construction

A

A long position in the stock (owns it)
•
A short position in the call (wrote [sold] the call and received premium)
•
A long position in the put (owns it and paid premium)

181
Q

Dividend reinvestment plans (DRIPs)

A

DRIPs are plans whereby stockholders automatically reinvest dividend payments in additional shares of the issuing company’s stock.

Instead of receiving the normal dividend check, participating stockholders will receive quarterly notification of the new shares purchased in their accounts. Although no cash is received, these dividends are fully taxable.

This creates phantom income.

182
Q

Control of volatility

A

Volatility could be controlled by buying stocks with low Betas

183
Q

Arbitrage pricing theory (APT)

take advantage of perceived differences

A
  • Unexpected inflation
  • Unexpected changes in the level of industrial production
  • Unanticipated shifts in risk premium
  • Unanticipated changes in the structure of yields
184
Q

The Black-Scholes model uses five variables to value the option of a non-dividend paying stock.

A
  • The price of the underlying stock
  • The exercise price (strike price) of the option
  • The time remaining to the expiration of the option
  • The interest rate
  • The volatility of the underlying stock
