the investor will be responsible for delivering her shares and will receive $45 in return Therefore, this position will remove any upside potential B is incorrect Strategy X is inappropriate This is because the strategy will cap upside potential at $48 and the investor will retain full downside exposure to the shares (to the extent the stock price declines by more than the premium received) Question ID: 19280 Correct Answer: B Contributions to an exchange fund are not considered to be a taxable event Taking this advantage solely into account, exchange funds are an appropriate diversification vehicle for Ali since she wishes to minimize taxes A is incorrect Investors choosing to participate in an exchange fund must remain in the fund for at least seven years Thus exchange funds impose lockup periods and investors must pay a penalty fee for a speedier exit The requirement to keep her funds tied to this vehicle for a minimum of seven years does not make exchange funds an appropriate diversification vehicle since Ali will face a liquidity event (boat purchase) in three months time C is incorrect After seven years fund partners have the option of redeeming their interest in the partnership and receiving a basket of securities at the discretion of the fund manager Thus, Ali will have little discretion with respect to the composition of this basket further making this an inappropriate vehicle Recall that Ali has expressed the desire for discretion FinQuiz.com © 2018 - All rights reserved .. .Reading 11 Concentrated Single Asset Positions FinQuiz. com FinQuiz Level III 20 18 – Item- set Solution Reading 11: Concentrated Single Asset Positions Question ID: 1 927 5 Correct Answer:... – $2 million) /3 = $2. 1905 million Allocation to personal risk bucket = Home + Cash/Treasuries = $ (2. 00 + 2. 1905) million = $4.1905 million FinQuiz. com © 20 18 - All rights reserved Reading 11. ..
