2.) Based on Exhibit 1and Statement 1, one disadvantage of the investment strategy
followed by Mondavi is that the portfolio will most likely:
A.
have higher advisery and non-advisory fees.
B.
be expensive to construct.
C.
result in a poorly diversified portfolio.
Answer = B
Statement 1 indicates that Mondavi follows a full-replication approach that is pure bond
indexing. In this approach, many issues in the bond index may be illiquid and
infrequently traded. This factor makes full replication of an index not only difficult but
also expensive to implement.
