a sentiment that causes asset prices to deviate from values determined using traditional finance approaches (efficient prices) FinQuiz.com © 2018 - All rights reserved Reading The Behavioral Finance Perspective FinQuiz.com Question ID: 67414 Correct Answer: B Client F wants to maximize expected wealth on his portfolio subject to a safety constraint A BPT investor usually states his ability to tolerate failure to achieve at least the aspirational level of wealth (by stating a probability level) Question ID: 67420 Correct Answer: C Bounded rationality assumes that individuals identify satisfactory sub-goals and limited objectives and make decisions by applying heuristics that meet these sub-goals The adaptive market hypothesis applies an evolutionary perspective to the framework and states that as experience increases, individuals learn and the heuristics they apply to a situation evolve The AMH considers both bounded rationality and evolutionary principles Question ID: 67421 Correct Answer: B Investor A does not construct portfolios consistent with the BPT This is because he/she considers the covariance among the investment layers In BPT, no consideration is given to covariance of the investment layers since the risk and return of the portfolio as a whole is not considered Investors B and C make comments consistent with the BPT Question ID: 67422 Correct Answer: C Statement is incorrect The AMH also assumes that individuals act in their own selfinterest Statement is incorrect The BPT does not assume that people are loss-averse and not riskaverse It does, however, state that investors reluctant to realize losses (loss-averse) would hold higher amounts of cash It also states that some investors would have concave utility functions (risk-averse investors) 10 Question ID: 67423 Correct Answer: A The portfolio meets the safety objective (0% probability of falling below $4.5 million), but it does not meet Hart’s aspirational goals (4% return with 70% probability) The portfolio returns only 3.9% with a 65% probability Hence, to meet the aspirational goals, the safety level objective must be lowered (that is, more risk should be taken with the portfolio) 11 Question ID: 67425 Correct Answer: B By trying to determine if stock prices move too much to be justified by subsequent changes in dividends, Cameron is trying to identify a fundamental anomaly (an anomaly that emerges when one considers a stock’s performance based on a fundamental assessment of the stock’s value) By studying capital market seasonality, Cameron is trying to identify calendar anomalies FinQuiz.com © 2018 - All rights reserved Reading The Behavioral Finance Perspective FinQuiz.com 12 Question ID: 67426 Correct Answer: A The decision theory assumes that a decision maker is fully informed, is able to make quantitative calculations with accuracy, and is perfectly rational The BPT and AMH consider bounded rationality and the concept of satisficing FinQuiz.com © 2018 - All rights reserved .. .Reading The Behavioral Finance Perspective FinQuiz. com FinQuiz Level III 20 18 – Item- sets Solution Reading 5: The Behavioral Finance Perspective Question...
