Execute a trade immediately before the information becomes public to maximize client gains.B. Share the information only with immediate family members who are not in the industry.C. Refrain from trading or inducing others to trade on the information.D. Post the information on an anonymous forum to make it “public” quickly.E. Use the information to offset losses in a struggling portfolio.F. Only trade if the information was received from a secondary source.Correct Answer: CExplanation:C (Correct): Standard II(A) prohibits members who possess material nonpublic information from acting or causing others to act on that information.A (Incorrect): This is a direct violation of insider trading standards.B (Incorrect): Tipping off others, even family, is a violation.D (Incorrect): “Public” status requires official dissemination through recognized channels; anonymous posts do not count.E (Incorrect): The intent (offsetting losses) does not excuse the violation.F (Incorrect): The source (primary or secondary) does not matter if the information is material and nonpublic.Question 2: When utilizing the Black-Scholes Model for option pricing, what is the impact of an increase in the underlying asset’s volatility?A. The price of both call and put options will increase.B. Only the price of the call option will increase.C. The price of both call and put options will decrease.D. The volatility has no impact on the option price.E. The call option price increases while the put option price decreases.F. The price of the underlying asset will automatically drop.Correct Answer: AExplanation:A (Correct): In the Black-Scholes model, higher volatility increases the probability of the option ending up “in the money,” thus increasing the premium for both calls and puts.B & E (Incorrect): Volatility is a “vega” component that positively affects both types of options.C & D (Incorrect): These contradict the fundamental mechanics of option Greeks.F (Incorrect): Volatility is an input for the option price, it doesn’t dictate the immediate price movement of the underlying asset itself.Question 3: A portfolio manager calculates a Sharpe Ratio of 0.85 and an Information Ratio of 0.40. What does the Information Ratio primarily measure in this context?A. The total return of the portfolio divided by total risk.B. The active return of the portfolio relative to its tracking error.C. The risk-free rate of return available in the market.D. The amount of systematic risk (Beta) in the portfolio.E. The tax efficiency of the investment strategy.F. The ratio of dividends to the current stock price.Correct Answer: BExplanation:B (Correct): The Information Ratio measures the ability of a manager to generate “excess returns” (Alpha) relative to a benchmark, adjusted for the volatility of those excess returns (tracking error).A (Incorrect): This describes the Sharpe Ratio (using standard deviation).C (Incorrect): This is an external market input, not a portfolio performance ratio.D (Incorrect): This refers to Beta, not the Information Ratio.E & F (Incorrect): These are unrelated to the calculation of active management performance metrics.Welcome to the Exams Practice Tests Academy to help you prepare for your CFA Program Level II Practice Tests.You can retake the exams as many times as you wantThis is a huge original question bankYou get support from instructors if you have questionsEach question has a detailed explanationMobile-compatible with the Udemy app30-days money-back guarantee if you’re not satisfiedI hope that by now you’re convinced!
