You are concerned about upcoming weakness in the Canadian dollar. Which type of fund should you invest in?
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.’
What risk type is prevalent regardless of the level of portfolio diversification or hedging?
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.
When comparing the current yield and yield-to-maturity of a bond, which statement applies?
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.
