答案和详解如下： Q1. Which of the following concerning the steps in the portfolio management process is least accurate? FOCUS ACTIONS
A)
Implementation Current and future market conditions Identify risk tolerance B) Monitoring Feedback loop Update investor’s needs C) Investment strategy Short-term and intermediate term market expectations Construct a strategy based on the policy statement Correct answer is A) The implementation process focuses on putting the plan that has been devised to work. The portfolio is constructed and assets are allocated based on the investment strategy and market forecasts. The identification of the risk tolerance should be accomplished during the development of the investor’s policy statement, which should occur prior to the implementation of the investment plan. Q2. Which of the following is least likely part of the portfolio-management process? A) limiting the portfolio’s tax liability. B) identifying the investor’s goals and constraints. C) rebalancing the portfolio. Correct answer is A) Limiting the tax liability may be a wise move depending on an investor’s circumstances, but it should not be the primary objective of the portfolio management process. Satisfying the investor’s risk, return, liquidity, and other constraints are primary objectives. Addressing the tax liability should be addressed after the primary objectives have been satisfied. Rebalancing the portfolio is part of the “monitor and update” step. Identifying goals and restraints is part of the “write a policy statement” step. Q3. Which of the following statements about the steps in the portfolio management process is FALSE? A) Rebalancing the investor’s portfolio is done on an as-needed basis, and should be reviewed on a regular schedule. B) Developing an investment strategy is based on an analysis of historical performance in financial markets and economic conditions. C) Implementing the plan is based on an analysis of the current and future forecast of financial and economic conditions. Correct answer is B) Developing an investment strategy is based primarily on an analysis of the current and future financial market and economic conditions. Historical analysis serves to help develop an expectation for future conditions. Q4. Which of the following is NOT one of the four general steps in the portfolio management process?
