DEMO QUESTIONS

Q1:

You are concerned about upcoming weakness in the Canadian dollar. Which type of fund should you invest in?

A: A specialty fund that uses derivatives to hedge the value of its portfolio

B: An international fund that hedges its foreign currency risk

C: A global fund that hedges its foreign currency risk

D: A global fund that does not hedge its foreign currency risk

Correct Answer: D
A global fund that does not hedge foreign currency risk benefits from a weakening Canadian dollar, as the value of foreign investments increases in Canadian dollar terms. The feedback from the document states:

‘Global mutual funds are attractive in that they can provide a hedge against a decline in the relative value of the Canadian dollar… It is important for mutual fund sales representatives to know whether their global mutual funds hedge foreign exchange risk, because some clients will want to bear that risk themselves, while others will not.’

Q2:

What risk type is prevalent regardless of the level of portfolio diversification or hedging?

A: Market

B: Default

C: Unique

D: Inflation

Correct Answer: A

Market risk (systematic risk) cannot be eliminated by diversification or hedging; it affects all securities in the market (e.g., recessions, geopolitical events, interest rate changes).

Default risk (B) relates to specific issuers of debt.

Unique risk (C) is company-specific and can be diversified away.

Q3:

When comparing the current yield and yield-to-maturity of a bond, which statement applies?

A: Yield-to-maturity accounts for the reinvestment of coupon payments.

B: Yield-to-maturity is based on the current market value of the bond, not the price paid.

C: Capital gains or capital losses are reflected in the current yield calculation.

D: Current yield includes in the calculation the time to maturity.

Correct Answer: A

This statement is correct because yield-to-maturity (YTM) is the annualized rate of return of a bond that assumes that all coupon payments are reinvested at the same rate until the bond matures. YTM takes into account the bond’s current market price, par value, coupon rate, and time to maturity, and it calculates the compound interest earned on the reinvested coupons. Therefore, YTM reflects the total return of the bond, including both the interest income and the capital gain or loss.

C: 6.12%

D: 6.00%

Correct Answer: D
