For the purposes of this discussion, assume that you have been hired as a portfolio manager with quantitative investing firm. Assume that under the standards of the firm, a “good” set of quantitative signals exists.

Discuss:

Think for the perspective of an investment fund such as Acadian Asset Management (not a financial advisor).

1. Why do professional investment managers care about Risk Control?
2. How do professional managers control the risk in their portfolios?
3. How do quantitative investors choose portfolios?
4. In class we discussed the Grinold-Kahn procedure with a standard deviation of 2% per year. Why did we choose 2% per year? Do you envision circumstances in which a quantitative manager would choose a standard deviation different from 2% in the Grinold-Kahn procedure?

Hint: i) Consider two managers managing funds with different Universes; ii) Consider one manager managing a given fund at two different points in time (e.g., peak of dot-com bubble vs. normal period).

Need help with this python program step by step to get the same output

• Attachment 1
• Attachment 2
• Attachment 3

For the program do the following :1 . Read the data from the input file into a list2. Strip the list of all the endline characters " In "3 . This will create a rather long , unbroken list4 . Now break up and regroup the list so that the information about a single airline isin one list element – this step reads harder than it is . It is really a simple step andmust be done within a loop5 . Lastly , you will display this regrouped list as a table with the proper headings6 . Use proper exception handling if the input file is not found . The program mustnot crash , rather it must exit or restart gracefully with an exception being raisedand handled .There are NO input validations required for this program except ( no pun intended ) forthe exceptions listed above .See the sample output . format the final output in tabular form .

Q22. For the polynomial f(x) = 4(x – 5)(x – 6)3, list each real zero and its multiplicity. Determine whether the graph crosses or touches the x-axis at each x-intercept.

   a. 5, multiplicity 1, touches x-axis; 6, multiplicity 3

   b. -5, multiplicity 1, touches x-axis; -6, multiplicity 3

   c. 5, multiplicity 1, crosses x-axis; 6, multiplicity 3, crosses x-axis

   d. -5, multiplicity 1, crosses x-axis; -6, multiplicity 3, crosses x-axis

For the past ten weeks, you have actively planned the construction of a survey tool which could be piloted in the real world. Subsequently, you conducted an item analysis to identify the best-fit items that would be a part of your final survey. This week, you will write a final report of all your work. Address the following:

• Drafting the survey
• Your plan for mock-piloting the survey
• Conducting item analysis
• Rationale for the decision to retain certain items and eliminate others
• Scoring strategy

Your paper should conform to APA standards, particularly in the use of correct in-text citations and reference list. The report should be a 12- to 14-page Microsoft Word document that includes the following sections:

• Title page
• Abstract
• Introduction
• Literature review
• Questionnaire or survey for pilot study
• Data analysis and interpretation procedures
• Statement of expected outcome and possible implications
• References
• Appendix A: Informed consent (if applicable)
• Appendix B: Revised questionnaire

Submission Details:

• Present your work in a 12- to 14-page Microsoft Word document.
• Attach a turnitin.com Report.
• Cite all sources, if any, in APA format.

For the reaction below, the thermodynamic equilibrium constant is KP = 0.000708 at 30 °C.

NH4CO2NH2(s) → 2 NH3(g) + CO2(g)

Suppose that 0.008 moles of NH4CO2NH2, 0.016 moles of NH3, and 0.008 moles of CO2 are added to a 7.0 L container at 30 °C.

(a) What are QP and ΔGR for the initial reaction mixture?  QP =   ; ΔGR =  kJ mol−1

(b) What is the total equilibrium pressure in the 7.0 L container at 30 °C? [Hint: Set up an I.C.E. table and then show that the equilibrium partial pressure of NH3 will be two times the equilibrium partial pressure of CO2.]
