A trading sleeve has realized return 12% and market beta 1.4. The risk committee wants the reported beta reduced to exactly 1.0 by parking the rest of the capital in T-bills earning 2%. If the market returned 8%, what alpha will the combined position report relative to CAPM?

The risk-free rate is 2.5% and the market expected return is 9.5%. Stock A has beta 1.1 and zero alpha forecast. Stock B has beta 0.4 and a forecast alpha of 1.5%. Under a CAPM-plus-alpha view, which stock has the higher expected return, and by how much?

A PM runs a stock with beta 0.7. After the quarter, a 0.8% fee is deducted from the stock's gross return before alpha is reported. If the risk-free rate is 1.5% and the market returned 5.5%, what gross stock return is needed so the reported post-fee alpha is +1.0%?

A stock returned 1.3%. Under the old benchmark, the benchmark return was 0.8% and beta was 1.0. Under a new benchmark, the benchmark return is 0.5% with the same beta. By how much does the stock's measured alpha increase?

A desk forms a composite alpha A = 0.6 A_fast + 0.4 A_slow. The expected gross daily alpha of A_fast is 8 bps and of A_slow is 5 bps. Their daily turnover is 90% and 20%, and every 1% of turnover costs 0.02 bps. What is the composite's expected net daily alpha?
