1. Why have larger private equity firms (in terms of assets under management) come under scrutiny regarding their management fee structure?
2. Are there opportunities for profit during a bear market? or should the investor just focus on protecting assets and not on making gains during a bear market, are gains even possible?
3. Suppose we observe the following rates: 1R1 = 0.50%, 1R2 = 1.15%, and E(2r1) = 0.929%. If the liquidity premium theory of the term structure of risk-free rates holds, what is the liquidity premium for year 2, L2? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
