1.养老基金(Pension funds)
–界定利益计划
界定利益计划:由养老金资产支付养老金负债。计划发起人的精算师需要根
据未来劳动力变化、薪酬水平及变化、提前退休人数比例、雇员预期寿命等
因素估算养老金负债金额以及这些负债的现值。养老金负债也等于已退休
(retired)和在职(active)员工的负债之和。
养老金盈亏状态(funded status):养老金资产的市场价值(market
value)与养老金负债的现值(present value)的关系。当资产市场价值大
于等于负债现值的时候称为资金充足计划(Fully funded plan),当资产市
场价值小于负债现值的时候称为资金不足计划(under-funded plan)。
1.养老基金(Pension funds)
–界定利益计划
养老金负债共有三个定义:
累计利益负债(accumulated benefit obligation):假设养老金计划现在
立即终止,所有已累计利益负债的现值,不考虑未来薪酬的增长因素。
预计利益负债(projected benefit obligation):考虑未来薪酬的增长因素
情况下估算的利益负债现值。通常盈亏状态的计算要用预计利益负债。
总体未来负债(total future obligation):最全面但也最不确定的方法,包
括累计利益和预计未来利益的现值。
说明:简单公式:
1.养老基金(Pension funds)
–界定供款计划
界定供款计划的两个关键问题:
第一,分散化(diversification),即计划发起人需要为计划受益人提供一个
分散化的投资选项列表。
第二,公司股票(company stock),即养老金计划投资于发起人公司股票
的比例须有所限制。
界定供款计划的投资策略书(IPS)与界定利益计划的很不一样,前者发起
人只需提供一个分散化的投资列表并对受益人提供投资教育,具体的投资是
由受益人自己负责的。因此,DC的IPS仅规定投资、运作的基本原则,没有
具体的收益率、风险容忍度等指标,请参见reading 2—p280 。
–混合计划及其它
混合计划及其它(hybrid and other plans)
混合养老金计划包括现金余额计划(cash balance plan)、养老金股权计划
(pension equity plan)、目标利益计划(target benefit plan)和最低限计划(floor
plan)
共同的特点是把DC计划好的方面(比如,可转移(portability)、管理方便
(administrative ease)等)和DB计划好的方面(比如,利益保障(benefit
guarantees)、服务年限回报(years of service rewards)、与薪酬挂钩(link
retirement pay to a percentage of salary)等)结合起来,其中以现金余额计
划和员工持股计划(employee stock ownership plan, ESOP)最普遍。

? Within the GIPS are supplemental real estate and private equity provisions
that must be applied to these asset classes
The GIPS must be applied on a firm wide basis in order for a firm to claim compliance
A firm must state how it defines itself as a firm when claiming compliance with GIPS
A firm is defined as “an investment firm, subsidiary, or division held out to clients or potential
clients as a distinct business entity

Analiste was an analyst under Heade. One day he told Heade that he had
some private information suggesting that an unnamed South American oil
service stock was “ready to pop” and asked for his guidance on whether the
stock could be widely owned by the company’s clients. Heade said “You are
one of our most experienced analysts. Do what you think is right.”
Which of the following most accurately describes whether Heade fulfilled his
supervisory responsibilities under the CFA Standards?
A. Heade was entitled to delegate responsibility to senior analysts with broad
experience such as Analiste, and is not required to approve each stock
selection.
B. Heade should have been sensitive to several “warning flags” presented by
Analiste’s state of mind, choice of investment and sources of information, and
brevity of disclosure. Heade should have taken a careful look at the situation.

Risk Management Application of
Derivatives
Study Session 15
Estimated weights in exam: 5%
Topics include:
Risk management applications of forward and
futures strategies
Risk management applications of option strategies
Risk management applications of swap strategies
10. Interest Rate Options P59
For interest rate options, the exercise price is an interest
rate, and payoffs depend on a reference rate such as
LIBOR
The combination of a long interest rate call option plus
a short interest rate put option has the same payoff as
an FRA. One difference is that interest rate option
payoffs are made after the option expiration date at a
date corresponding to the end of the loan period
specified in the contract (30-day, 60-day, 90-day LIBOR,
etc.). Recall that FRAs pay the present value of this
interest difference at settlement.
12. Delta Hedging P73
Delta hedging a derivative position means combining
the option position with a position in the underlying
asset to form a portfolio, whose value does not change
in reaction to changes in the price of the underlying
over a short period of time
Delta-hedged portfolio: long n stocks and short n/delta calls
The delta-neutral hedging is a dynamic process, since the
delta is constantly changing
13. The Second-Order Gamma Effect
P79
The gamma defines the sensitivity of the option delta
to a change in the price of the underlying asset
gamma = (delta1?delta0)/(S1?S0) = Δdelta/ΔS
Three things to remember about Gamma:
Call and put options on the same stock with the same T and
X have equal gammas
A long position in calls or puts will have a positive gamma
Gamma is largest when the option is at-the-money. If the
option is deep in- or out-of-the-money, gamma approaches
zero

Guidance ─Investment Banking Relationships
Do not be pressured by sell-side firms to issue favorable
research on current or prospective investment-banking clients.
It is appropriate to have analysts work with investment
bankers in “road show” only when the conflicts are
adequately and effectively managed and disclosed.
Be sure there are effective “firewall” between
research/investment management and investment banking
activities. (研究与自营和投行之间)
指南─与投行的关系:
只有当充分披露利益冲突时,分析师可以与投行人员参加上市公司的
“路演”;
在研究部门和投行部门之间要建立“防火墙”;
不能强迫sell-side分析师做出对投行部门的客户有利的分析报告。
2.指南
Guidance─ Public Companies
Analysts should not be pressured to issue favorable
research by the companies they follow.
Do not confine research to discussions with company
management, but rather use a variety of sources, including
suppliers, customers, and competitions.

A Monte Carlo output specifies the expected 1-week portfolio
return and standard deviation as 0.00188 and 0.0125,
respectively.
Calculate the 1-week value at risk at 5% significance.
Advantage: the ability to incorporate any returns distribution or
asset correlation .
Disadvantage: The analyst must make thousands of
assumptions about the returns distributions for all inputs as
well as their correlations . The seeming sophistication of the
method can also lead to a false sense of securities (garbage in,
garbage out)
Assume we calculate a one-week VaR for a natural gas

A. The recalculated VaR will be less than the original VaR.
B. The recalculated VaR will be equal to the original VaR
C. The recalculated VaR will be greater than the original VaR
D. There is no necessary relation between the recalculated VaR
and the original VaR

QUESTION 22 HAS THREE PARTS FOR A TOTAL OF 28 MINUTES
Hugh Donovan is chief financial officer of LightSpeed Connections (LSC), a rapidly growing U.S. technology
company. The company provides a traditional defined benefit pension plan. Because of LSC’s young
workforce, Donovan believes the pension plan has no liquidity needs and can therefore invest aggressively to
maximize pension assets. He also believes that Treasury bills and bonds, yielding 5.4 percent and 6.1 percent
respectively, have no place in a portfolio with such a long time horizon. Therefore, his strategy is to invest the
portfolio as follows:
– 50 percent in a concentrated pool (15 to 20 stocks) of initial public offerings (IPOs) in technology and
internet companies, managed internally by Donovan
– 25 percent in a small-capitalization growth fund
– 10 percent in a venture capital fund
– 10 percent in an S&P 500 index fund
– 5 percent in an international equity fund
Donovan has produced excellent returns utilizing this strategy for the past two years.
A. Evaluate Donovan’s investment strategy with respect to its effect on each of the following:
i. LSC’s pension plan beneficiaries
ii. Managing pension assets in relation to LSC’s corporate strength
Eileen Jeffries, LSC’s president, notes the strong returns of the plan but believes LSC needs a formal
investment policy statement (IPS). Working with the Investment Committee, Jeffries writes the following IPS:
“The LSC Pension Plan’s return objective should focus on real total returns that will fund its long-term
obligations on an inflation-adjusted basis. The “time to maturity” of the corporate workforce is a key
element for any defined pension plan; given our young workforce, LSC’s Plan has a long investment
horizon and more time available for wealth compounding to occur. Therefore the Plan can pursue an
aggressive investment course and focus on the higher return potential of capital growth. Under present
U.S. tax laws, pension plan portfolio income and capital gains are not taxed. The portfolio should focus
primarily on investments in businesses directly related to our main business to leverage our knowledge
base.”
QUESTION 23 HAS TWO PARTS FOR A TOTAL OF 21 MINUTES
Susan Leighton, treasurer for Donner Life Insurance, a U.S. based company, has just joined the board of a
charitable organization that has a large endowment portfolio. She is researching how the investment policy for
an endowment is different from that of life insurance companies.
She has reached the following conclusions:
1. Both endowments and life insurance companies have aggressive return requirements.
2. Endowments are less willing to assume risk than life insurance companies because of donor concerns about
volatility and loss of principal.
3. Endowments are less able to assume risk than life insurance companies because of expectations that
endowments should provide stable funding for charitable operations.
4. Endowments have lower liquidity requirements than life insurance companies because endowment spending
needs are met through a combination of current income and capital appreciation.
5. Both endowments and life insurance companies are subject to stringent legal and regulatory oversight.
A. Indicate whether each of Leighton’s statements is correct or incorrect. If incorrect, justify your
response by citing one reason.

QUESTION 1 HAS FOUR PARTS (A, B, C, D) FOR A TOTAL OF 36 MINUTES.
Roberto and Mariana Carvalho live in a large city in Brazil with their two children, ages four and
two. Roberto is 30 years old and Mariana will be 30 years old later this month. Roberto is a
manager in a manufacturing facility and Mariana is a musician in the local symphony orchestra.
Roberto and Mariana’s annual salaries total 120,000 Brazilian reais (BRL) after tax. Their
salaries just cover their living expenses. The average annual inflation rate is four percent and
their salaries and expenses are expected to increase at this rate. They are healthy and believe
their jobs and earning potential are secure. The Carvalhos’ salaries, dividends, and interest are
taxed at 20 percent, and capital gains at 15 percent.
Mariana’s parents have significant wealth and funded an irrevocable personal trust for her.
Brazil has a wealth transfer tax that applies to transfers into trusts and to inheritances. Brazil has
adopted the Prudent Investor Rule for the administration of trusts. The current value of the trust
is BRL 1,500,000. The terms of the trust state that when Mariana reaches the age of 30, she will
receive a tax-free distribution of half the value of the trust. The balance of the trust will remain
invested and will distribute in total to her when she reaches age 40. Since she does not have
access to the remaining balance for ten years, this balance is not considered a part of the
Carvalhos’ investable assets, but is part of their total net worth. In addition, Mariana expects to
inherit a substantial sum of money upon the death of both parents.
The Carvalhos have BRL 500,000 in investable assets, currently all in short-term bank deposits.
It is their intention to maintain at least this amount in investable assets, on an inflation-adjusted
basis, in the future.
The Carvalhos currently live with Mariana’s parents, but are now purchasing a home. The
purchase price of the home is BRL 850,000. The down payment is 30 percent of the cost of the
home and will be funded from the trust distribution. The Carvalhos will take out a fixed rate
mortgage for the balance of the purchase price. The after-tax mortgage cost will be fixed at
BRL 55,000 (principal and interest) annually for 30 years, with the first annual payment due one
year from now.
The Carvalhos’ immediate investment goal is to have their investment portfolio cover the cost of
the mortgage, while maintaining the portfolio’s inflation-adjusted value. They plan to retire at
the age of 60 and their long-term goal is to have an investment portfolio that will provide an
annual income comparable to their current salaries adjusted by inflation. Their family health
insurance is provided by Roberto’s employer, both now and in retirement. They are hopeful
their two children will attend the local university at no cost. The university does not charge
tuition fees for qualified students who pass its entrance exam. Those who do not pass the exam
are required to pay full tuition, which is high relative to the Carvalhos’ living expenses.
In order to meet their investment goals, the Carvalhos realize they need to consider investments
other than short-term bank deposits. The Carvalhos hire Luiz Oliveira, CFA, to manage an
investment portfolio that they will fund with their BRL 500,000 in bank deposits and the net
proceeds of Mariana’s trust distribution at age 30.
CFA三级考试真题及答案(2009年)下载
QUESTION 1 HAS FOUR PARTS (A, B, C, D) FOR A TOTAL OF 26 MINUTES.
Patricia and Alexander Tracy, both age 59, are residents of Canada. They have twin sons who
will enter a four-year university program in one year. Patricia is a long-time employee of a
telecommunications company. Alexander is a self-employed sales consultant.
Alexander’s annual income is now steady after years of extreme highs and lows. The Tracys
have built an investment portfolio through saving in Alexander’s high income years. The
Tracys’ current annual income is equal to their total expenses; as a result, they cannot add to
savings currently. They expect that both their expenses and income will grow at the inflation
rate. All medical costs, now and in the future, are fully covered through government programs.
The Tracys worry about whether they have saved enough for retirement, and whether they will
be able to maintain the real value of their portfolio. Inflation is expected to average 4% for the
foreseeable future.
The Tracys have approached Darren Briscoe to help them analyze their investment strategy and
retirement choices. The Tracys disagree about the appropriate investment strategy. Patricia
prefers not losing money over making a high return. This is partly a result of continuing regret
for a loss experienced in an equity mutual fund several years ago. Alexander’s history of making
frequent changes in their portfolio greatly annoyed Patricia. She thinks Alexander focused only
on potential return and paid little attention to risk.
The Tracys currently have all their assets in inflation-indexed, short-term bonds that are expected
to continue to earn a return that would match the inflation rate after taxes. After retirement, they
are willing to consider changing their investment strategy if necessary to maintain their lifestyle.
The Tracys are eligible to retire next year at age 60. If they do, Patricia will receive annual
payments from her company’s defined-benefit pension plan and both Patricia and Alexander will
receive payments from the Canadian government pension plan. Alexander does not participate
in any company or individual retirement plan. Briscoe has compiled financial data and market
expectations for the Tracys’ retirement, shown in Exhibit 1. Currently, Briscoe estimates that the
Tracys’ investment portfolio will grow to 1,100,000 Canadian dollars (CAD) by their retirement
date next year.
Pension income from both Patricia’s company plan and the government pension plan is fully
indexed for inflation. Briscoe expects a tax rate of 20% to apply to the Tracys’ withdrawals from
the investment account. The Tracys expect to earn no employment income after retirement. The
Tracys’ residence is not considered part of their investable assets.
The Tracys have the option to delay retirement until age 65. The Tracys intend to retire together,
whether it is in 2010 at age 60 or in 2015 at age 65.
Briscoe determines that if the Tracys retire at age 60, their risk tolerance is below average. If
they retire at age 60, they plan to pay off their mortgage and associated taxes by withdrawing
CAD 100,000 from their portfolio upon retirement.
Another consideration for the Tracys relates to funding university expenses for their sons. If the
Tracys retire at age 60, each son will receive a scholarship available to retiree families from
Patricia’s company that will cover all university costs.
If the Tracys retire at age 65, all pension income would increase and would almost meet their
annual spending needs. If they retire at age 65, the Tracys would pay all university expenses
from their investment portfolio through an arrangement with the university. The arrangement,
covering both sons, would require the Tracys to make a single payment of CAD 200,000 at age
60.

STUDY SESSION 1 – ETHICAL AND PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS
CFA INSTITUTE CODE OF ETHICS AND STANDARDS OF PROFESSIONAL
CONDUCT
Cross-Reference to CFA Institute Assigned Readings #1 & 2
Ethics will be tested in two selected resp9nse item sets. The distracters (incorrect
choices) will all appear indistinguishable unless you have learned to think in the
spirit of the Code and Standards. The best way to do this is through the practice
questions contained in the Handbook and Book 1 of the SchweserNotesTM.
As you read this material, keep in mind that it is assumed you have already
read/studied the Code and Standards and our coverage in the SchweserNotes. As
such, this material represents a downsizing of the material in our SchweserNotes
without the LOS, concept checkers, applications (examples), and cases. Given
a familiarity with the Code and Standards, this critical core of the Code and
Standards should be all you need for that last push before the exam.
Code ofEthics
Members ofCFA Institute, including Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®)
charterholders, and Candidates for the CFA designation (~’Members and
Candidates") must: 1
Act with integrity, competence, diligence, respect, and in an ethical manner with
. the public, clients, prospective clients, employers, employees, colleagues in the
investment profession, and other participants in the global capital markets.
Place the integrity of the investment profession and the interests of clients above
their own personal interests.
I Study Sessions 1 & 2
Ethics
r
Use reasonable care and exercise independent professional judgment when
conducting investment analysis, making investment recommendations, taking
investment actions, and engaging in other professional activities.
Practice and encourage others to practice in a professional and ethical manner
that will reflect credit on themselves and the profession.
Promote the integrity of, and uphold the rules governing, capital markets.
Maintain and improve their professional competence and strive to maintain and
improve the competence ofother investment professionals.
GUIDANCE FOR STANDARDS I-VII
I. Professionalism
I(A). Knowledge of the Law. Members must understand and comply with
laws, rules, regulations, and Code and Standards of any authority governing their
activities. In the event of a conflict, follow the more strict law, rule, or regulation.
Guidance
Members must know the laws and regulations relating to dteir professional
activities in all countries in which they conduct business. Do not violate Code or
Standards even if the activity is otherwise legal. Always adhere to the most strict
rules and requirements (law or CPA Institute Standards) that apply.
Dissociate from any ongoing client or employee activity that is illegal or unethical,
even if it involves leaving an employer (an extreme case). While a Member
may confront the involved individual first, he must approach his supervisor or
compliance department. Inaction with continued association may be construed as
knowing participation.
Recommended Procedures for Compliance
Members should keep up with changes in applicable laws, rules, and regulations:
Review compliance procedures on an ongoing basis to assure that they address
cutrent law, CPAl Standards, and regulations.
Maintain current reference materials.
Seek advice of counsel or compliance department when in doubt.
Document any violations when they disassociate themselves from prohibited
activity and encourage employers to bring an end to such activities.
There is no requirement under the Standards to report violations to
governmental authorities, but this may be advisable in some circumstances and
required by law in others.
Members should encourage their firms to:
Develop and/or adopt a code ofethics~
Make information available that highlights applicable laws and regulations.
Establish written procedures for reporting suspected violations.
I(B). Independence and Objectivity. Use reasonable care to exercise
independence and objectivityin professional activities. Do not offer, solicit, or
accept any gift, benefit, compensation, or consideration that would compromise
independence and objectivity.
Guidance
Do not let the investment process be influenced by any external sources. Modest
.gifts are permitted. Allocation of shares in oversubscribed IPOs to personal
accounts is NOT permitted. Distinguish between gifts from clients and gifts from
entities seeking influence to the detriment of any client. Gifts must be disclosed to
the Member’s employer in any case.

This study session first compares and contrasts the different market structures
in which companies operate. The market environment influences the price a
company can demand for its goods or services. The most important of these
market forms are monopoly and perfect competition, although monopolistic
competition and oligopoly are also covered.
The study session then introduces the macroeconomic concepts that have
an effect on all companies in the same environment, be it a country, a group
of related countries, or a particular industry. The study session concludes
by describing how an economy’s aggregate supply and aggregate demand
are determined.

The readings in this study session establish a framework for ethical conduct in
the investment profession. The principles and guidance presented in the
CFA Institute Standards of Practice Handbook (Handbook) form the basis for the
CFA Institute self-regulatory program to maintain the highest professional
standards among investment practitioners. A clear understanding of the CFA
Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct (both found in the
Handbook) should allow practitioners to identify and appropriately resolve ethical
conflicts, leading to a reputation for integrity that benefits both the individual
and the profession. Material under “Guidance” in the Handbook addresses the
practical application of the Code and Standards. The guidance for each standard
reviews its purpose and scope, presents recommended procedures for
compliance, and provides examples of the standard in practice.

The readings in this study session present a framework for ethical conduct in

The Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) facilitate efficient
comparison of investment performance across investment managers and country
borders by prescribing methodology and standards that are consistent with a clear
and honest presentation of returns. Having a global standard for reporting
investment performance minimizes the potential for ambiguous or misleading
presentations.
