TWO ACTIVE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES INVOLVING INDIVIDUAL STOCK SELECT...

12. Two active management strategies involving individual stock selection with a benchmark of

50 securities, and industrial sector selection with a benchmark of 12 sectors. The active

security returns uncorrelated, and forecasts are independent. The individual stock investor

has an information coefficient of 0.06, while the industrial sector investor has an information

coefficient of 0.19. The expected information ratio for each strategy, assuming each

investor’s forecasts can be implemented without constraints is closest to:

A. IR(security selection) = 0.40; IR(industrial sector) = 0.70.

B. IR(security selection) = 0.60; IR(industrial sector) = 0.80.

C. IR(security selection) = 0.80; IR(industrial sector) = 0.30.
