会员需要执行适当的尽职调查和分析，以确保其建议是合理的。在本例中，如果股票表现不佳，而经理无法提供令人信服的理由来解释其分析或建议，则表明其可能没有履行勤勉尽责的义务。虽然客观性（c）和忠诚（d）也很重要，但经理未能解释其分析的根本原因，直接反映了其在尽职调查方面的不足。3.b解析思路：根据CFA协会道德准则，会员有责任披露可能影响其客户或公众利益的重要信息。如果研究发现可能存在财务报表操纵，即使存在法律风险，也必须采取行动。将发现报告给公司的法律部门和合规部门（b）是正确的做法。这允许公司评估情况，采取适当的行动，并确保合规性。仅仅发表报告（a）或撤回报告（c）或修改发现（d）都可能导致违反道德准则或法律义务。4.b解析思路：预期回报是各项资产回报的加权平均值：E(Rp)=wA*E(RA)+wB*E(RB)=0.6*12%+0.4*8%=7.2%+3.2%=10.8%。组合的标准差计算公式为：σp=sqrt[wA^2*σA^2+wB^2*σB^2+2*wA*wB*σA*σB*ρ(A,B)]=sqrt[(0.6^2*15^2)+(0.4^2*10^2)+2*0.6*0.4*15*10*0.4]=sqrt[(0.36*225)+(0.16*100)+(2*0.6*0.4*15*10*0.4)]=sqrt[81+16+36]=sqrt[133]≈11.527。选项中最接近的是9.8%，这表明计算中可能使用了不同的权重或近似值，或者题目本身或选项存在偏差。基于标准公式计算结果约为11.53%，没有选项完全匹配。但题目要求选择“最”合适的，考虑到标准公式和计算结果，选项B(10.8%,9.8%)可能是在特定情境或近似下的预期答案。5.a解析思路：信息比率（InformationRatio,IR）是excessreturn的标准差除以excessreturn。ExcessReturn=ActualReturn-BenchmarkReturn。ManagerX的excessreturn标准差=8%,ManagerY的excessreturn标准差=7%。ManagerX的excessreturn=15%-12%=3%,ManagerY的excessreturn=14%-13%=1%。信息比率IR=(ExcessReturn)/(StandardDeviationofExcessReturn)。ManagerX的IR=3%/8%=0.375。ManagerY的IR=1%/7%≈0.143。因此，ManagerX的信息比率更高，表现更好。6.b解析思路：根据CAPM，预期回报E(Ri)=Rf+βi*[E(Rm)-Rf]。代入数据：E(Rp)=5%+1.2*(12%-5%)=5%+1.2*7%=5%+8.4%=13.4%。Alpha=实际回报-根据CAPM计算的预期回报=14%-13.4%=0.6%。因此，alpha是0.6%。选项中没有0.6%，最接近的是1.0%。可能存在题目数据或选项设置的问题。但基于计算，0.6%是正确结果。7.a解析思路：特征线（CharacteristicsLine,CL）的斜率表示投资经理的绩效相对于基准的主动风险调整后回报。正斜率意味着投资经理的回报高于基准回报，且随着基准回报的增加而增加，表明经理产生了正的alpha。正截距表示即使投资经理的回报与基准回报完全一致（斜率为零），其回报也高于无风险回报率，这在有效市场中通常不成立，但正截距本身并不直接衡量一致性。关键在于正斜率表明了超越基准的积极贡献。题目描述的“正斜率和正截距”最可能指向的是经理产生了正alpha，并且（或）回报与基准有一定正相关性。选项（a）准确描述了正斜率意味着超越基准的回报，而“高度相关”可能反映了题目设定的情景，即使不完全精确，也是对正斜率的最佳解释。其他选项（b:负截距/alpha,c:负斜率/underperformance,d:负斜率/低相关性）都与描述不符。8.a解析思路：ValueatRisk(VaR)定义了在给定的置信水平下，投资组合在特定时间段内可能遭受的最大损失。例如，1天95%VaR为$500,000意味着有95%的可能性，在1天内损失不会超过$500,000。因此，最大可能损失（以95%的置信度）就是VaR值本身，即$500,000。9.c解析思路：添加新资产对组合风险（标准差）的影响取决于该资产与现有组合的相关性。计算新组合的标准差需要知道所有资产的比例和协方差/相关系数。公式为σp_new=sqrt[Σ(wi^2*σi^2)+2*Σ(wi*wj*Cov(i,j))]或σp_new=sqrt[Σ(wi^2*σi^2)+2*Σ(wi*wj*σi*σj*ρ(i,j))].由于题目只提供了两个资产的相关性（0.25），以及它们各自与*现有*组合（未定义）的相关性，无法计算整个新组合的标准差。仅凭AssetA和AssetB之间的相关性无法确定新组合的整体风险变化。如果ρ=0.25，理论上新组合风险可能降低，但具体数值取决于权重和现有组合的细节。因此，无法仅凭现有信息确定对整体风险的明确影响。10.b解析思路：添加资产以降低组合风险，需要选择与现有组合低相关性的资产。资产1和资产2的相关系数为0.6，这是一个正的相关性，意味着它们在一定程度上同向变动，添加它们可能不会显著降低现有组合的风险，甚至可能增加风险（如果权重不当）。资产2的标准差（14%）低于资产1的标准差（18），且相关系数相同，通常情况下，标准差更低的资产（在相关性相近时）为组合带来的风险增量可能更小。因此，从降低风险的角度看，资产2可能比资产1更具吸引力。选项（c）和（d）均不正确。选项（a）认为资产1更好，与降低风险的逻辑相反。11.c解析思路：私募股权（PrivateEquity）投资通常投资于未上市的公司，流动性很低，投资期限较长（通常3-7年），且风险较高，期望回报也较高。它们受到的监管相对较少，尤其是在投资策略和信息披露方面，与受SEC监管的公开市场投资不同。选项（a）错误，流动性低。选项（b）错误，通常期望较高回报。选项（d）错误，主要投资于非上市公司。12.b解析思路：采用多空股票策略（long/shortequity）的对冲基金旨在通过同时做多看好的股票和做空看坏的股票来获取绝对回报，力求减少市场整体波动对其收益的影响。这种策略的目的是生成相对稳定的回报，其回报与市场指数的相关性通常较低（b）。选项（a）过于绝对，市场条件不利时也可能亏损。选项（c）错误，对冲基金通常监管较少。选项（d）正确，投资门槛高，面向合格投资者。13.b解析思路：房地产投资信托（REIT）是一种将大部分应税收入（通常是90%或以上）分配给股东的实体。为了获得税收优惠（避免作为公司双重征税），REIT必须进行这种高比例分配。REIT通常投资于房地产，并提供相对较高的股息收益率，使其对寻求收入的投资者有吸引力，但风险也相对较高，不完全等同于保守投资。选项（a）错误，REIT仍需缴纳联邦所得税（但可抵扣运营损失）。选项（c）错误，REIT主要投资于房地产相关资产，不能主要投资于股票和债券。选项（d）错误，REIT必须公开披露财务信息。14.c解析思路：损失厌恶（LossAversion）是指投资者在同等数量的盈利和亏损面前，感受到的损失带来的痛苦远大于盈利带来的快乐。本例中，投资者倾向于“卖掉”亏损的股票（锁定损失，减轻痛苦），而“持有”盈利的股票（希望进一步盈利，避免潜在的盈利回吐）。这种行为模式完全符合损失厌
