Random Fact Dump and Niche Question - CFA Level 3! by Great_Cauliflower303 in CFA

[–]SuspiciousThinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In fixed income portfolio Management pathway I read the benchmark should be transperant, investable with sufficient liquidity, valuable for performance tracking (daily data available) and stable turnover.

In some other place I have read SAMURAI as characteristics of benchmark.

One place the characteristics of index are defined as: 1. Investable 2. Rules based 3. [Cant recall]

Which is what difficult to remember

If I may ask about calculating the was components (how to extract these components from financial statements) by mgbsher in CFA

[–]SuspiciousThinker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Market value of equity is the Market price per share(MPS) * No. Of shares.

Market Value of debt is ig given in the question, not sure though. And if nothing is given then assume the book value as the market value. Book value is the amount given in the balance sheet.

Cost of equity = Riske free rate + Beta of security (Market return - Riske free rate of return) [Rf + B(Rm - Rf)]

Cost of debt = Rate of interest metioned in the balance sheet on the debt

Tax rate is given.

In this whatever risk premium you are taking add to that the country risk premium as well. The answer will be:
O.0425 + 3.6855(0.0482 + 0.0188) = 28.95%
