【Answer to question 1】A
【analysis】
A is correct. The exclusion of returns of funds that have been liquidated is called survivorship bias. It is most likely that only poor performers are eliminated and thus reported returns are artificially inflated.
B is incorrect. The use of appraised values instead of market prices leads to a downward bias in volatility.
C is incorrect. The inclusion of previous return data for funds that enter the index is called backfill bias. It leads to an upward bias in index performance.
【Answer to question 2】B
【analysis】
B is correct. High-water marks help clients avoid paying twice for the same performance. When a hedge fund’s value drops, the manager will not receive an incentive fee until the value of the fund returns to its previous level.
A is incorrect because high-water marks are not linked to prime brokerage fees.
C is incorrect because management fees are paid irrespective of returns.
成功=時間+方法，自制力是這個等式的保障。世上無天才，高手都是來自刻苦的練習。而人們經常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績，其成績背后無比寂寞的勤奮。小編相信，每天都在勤奮練習，即使是一點點的進步，大家一定可以成為人人稱贊的“牛人”。
