Mighty Fine Mutual Fund Monthly Data (measured at end of month) March 0 2.80 JanuaryFebruary Net inflows ($ million) HPR (%) 7.3 3.50 3.8 7.10 a. Calculate the quarterly arithmetic average return on the fund. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Arithmetic average b. Calculate the quarterly geometric (time-weighted) average return on the fund. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Geometric average c.Calculate the quarterly dollar-weighted average return on the fund. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Dollar-weighted average returnExplanation / Answer
a) Airthmetic average return on the fund =
( -3.50 + 7.10 + 2.80) / 3
= 6.40/3
= 2.133
b) Geometric (Time weighted ) Average return on the fund =
= [ (1 + (-0.035)) * (1 + 0.071) * (1 + 0.028) ] 1/3 - 1
= 0.0204 or 2.04%
C) Dollar- weighted average return =
[7.30 - (-3.8)] / 7.3
=1.52
[ -3.8 - 0] / -3.8
= 0
