Q

Correlation of Investments (Short Cut)

A
  • if zero choose number closest to zero

30
Q

A
  • divide an individual funds realized return by its beta coefficient
  • higher is better
31
Q

Calculating Geometric Mean

A
  • add 1 to the return’s expressed as decimals
  • multiply the results of step 1
  • plug into calculator as FV
  • input PV as -1
  • input number of years as N
  • solve for i
32
Q

Dollar Weighted Return

A
  • is an IRR calculation
  • assumes reinvestment rate is constant
33
Q

Holding Period Return w/ Margin

A
  • if margin calculate into actual dollars

A
  • [(Initial investment MINUS loss) - (margin + margin interest)] - actual investment / actual investment
35
Q

After-Tax Holding Period Return

A
  • sales proceeds + dividends - costs = taxable gain

36
Q

Dividend Growth Models

A

  • both are valuation techniques
37
Q

Zero Growth Model

A
  • good for preferred stock
  • price = dividend / required rate of return
38
Q

Constant Growth Model

A
  • price = dividend (1 + growth rate) / required rate of return (r) - growth rate of dividends (g)
39
Q

Dividend Discount (Shortcut)

A
  • calculate based on 2nd number
  • choose number higher or lower based on first number in comparison to the 2nd
40
Q

Dividend Distribution Model Characteristics

A
  • if market lowers required rate of return, common stock’s value will rise
  • if market increases required rate of return, common stock’s value will fall
41
Q

Valuation Techniques

A
  • dividend growth model
  • price/earnings
  • free cash flow
  • return of equity
  • dividend payout ratio
42
Q

Free Cash Flow (Valuation)

A
  • similar to DDM, but instead of dividend use free cash flow (FCF)
43
Q

Capital Market Line (CML)

A
  • macro
  • relationship between risk and return of portfolio
  • point b is optimal risky portfolio (meets efficient frontier
  • point a is risk free (t-bills)
44
Q

Efficient Frontier (Risk Adverse)

A
  • steep curve, a lot of return needed to take risk
  • a risk tolerant investors curve would be more flat
45
Q

Security Market Line (SML)

A
  • micro
  • used to value a single asset
  • ri = rf + (rm - rf) beta
  • use formula to calculate required rate of return
46
Q

EMH - Strong Form

A
  • nothing matters
  • random walk
47
Q

EMH - Semi-Strong Form

A
  • reflects all publicly known information
  • only insider information can produce superior results
48
Q

EMH - Weak Form

A
  • only fundamental analysis can produce superior results
  • fundamental analysis looks at economic indicators
49
Q

Fundamental Analysis

A
  • examines financial statements to predict future

  • activity ratio (how quickly a firm can convert to cash)
  • profitability ratio (compare two or more variables to measure firm’s income performance.

NOTE: it is best to use multiple ratios to compare stocks in the same industry

Q

Property Cash Flow Calculation

A
  • net operating cash flow - debt/mortgage services

Q

Coefficient of Variation (CV) Shortcut

A
  • to determine the riskiest divide standard deviation by the mean

63
Q

66
Q

  • realized / beta
  • if mixed r2, choose sharpe
70
Q

Stock Split Calculation

A
  • 5:2 stock split
  • 5/2 x 100 - shares already owned
