Suppose that an actively managed equity funds average monthly return is 1.4% and its volatility is 6.8%. A regression of the funds returns on an S&P 500 index fund (assumed to represent the market portfolio) yields a beta of 0.5. The riskless rate has been 0.3% and the average return on the S&P 500 fund has been 1% over the sample period of the analysis. The volatility of the market return is 3.9%.
What fraction of the funds return variance is systematic based on the market model?
| A. | 91.78% | |
| B. | 57.35% | |
