View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】A

【analysis】

A is correct. Although an exchange-traded fund derives its value from the underlying assets it holds, it does not transform the performance of those assets and so is not a derivative.

B is incorrect. A contract to sell Alphabet Inc.’s shares transforms the performance of the underlying shares of Alphabet Inc and is an example of an option derivative.

C is incorrect. A contract to buy Australian dollars transforms the performance of the underlying currency and is an example of a currency derivative.

【Answer to question 2】C

【analysis】

C is correct. In efficient financial markets, risk-free arbitrage opportunities may exist temporarily, but their continuous exploitation will eliminate these arbitrage opportunities in the long run.

A is incorrect. Financial markets being efficient does not mean that risk-free arbitrage opportunities cannot exist.

B is incorrect. In efficient financial markets, any risk-free arbitrage opportunities will exist only temporarily because their continuous exploitation will result in these arbitrage opportunities being eliminated in the long run.

成功=时间+方法，自制力是这个等式的保障。世上无天才，高手都是来自刻苦的练习。而人们经常只看到“牛人”闪耀的成绩，其成绩背后无比寂寞的勤奋。小编相信，每天都在勤奋练习，即使是一点点的进步，大家一定可以成为人人称赞的“牛人”。更多CFA考试资讯，点击了解>
