Executives of a company are in the process of hiring managers for the company’s fixed-income portfolios. The company will hire two managers. In selecting the managers, all other things being equal, it is optimal to hire managers whose alphas have been:
A)
positive and are uncorrelated.
B)
positive and are highly correlated.
C)
negative and are uncorrelated.


The company would want to hire managers who have a proven track record for adding value, i.e., who have had positive alphas. It is better to hire managers whose alphas are uncorrelated because that would lower portfolio risk.

When the sponsor is choosing a fixed-income manager, with respect to the fees the manager charges, the evidence shows:
A)
that there is no relationship between fees and information ratios.
B)
that fixed-income managers with the highest fees have the lowest information ratios.
C)
that fixed-income managers with the highest fees have the highest information ratios.


Just like the equity markets, a company should avoid hiring managers with higher fees. The evidence shows that fixed-income managers with the highest fees have the lowest information ratios.
