You have been given the following return information for two mutual funds (Papa and Mama), the market index, and the risk-free rate.

 

Year	Papa Fund	Mama Fund	Market	Risk-Free
2008	-12.6%	-22.6	-24.5%	1%
2009	25.4	18.5	19.5	3
2010	8.5	9.2	9.4	2
2011	15.5	8.5	7.6	4
2012	2.6	-1.2	-2.2	2

 

Calculate the Sharpe ratio, Treynor ratio, Jensen’s alpha, information ratio, and R-squared for both funds and determine which is the best choice for your portfolio

 

22.       Dollar-Weighted Average Return (LO3, CFA6)        Suppose that an investor opens an account by investing $1,000. At the beginning of each of the next four years, he deposits an additional $1,000 each year, and he then liquidates the account at the end of the total five-year period. Suppose that the yearly returns in this account, beginning in year 1, are as follows: 12 percent, 5 percent, 8 percent, ﰇ7 percent, and ﰇ14 percent. Calculate the arithmetic and geometric average returns for this investment, and determine what the investor’s actual dollar-weighted average return was for this five-year period. Why is the dollar-weighted average return higher or lower than the geometric average return?
