Kelli Blakely is a portfolio manager for the Miranda Fund, a
core large-cap equity fund. The market proxy and benchmark for
performance measurement purposes is the S&P 500. Although the
Miranda portfolio generally mirrors the asset class and sector
weightings of the S&P, Blakely is allowed a significant amount
of leeway in managing the fund.

Blakely was able to produce exceptional returns last year (as
outlined in the table below) through her market timing and security
selection skills. At the outset of the year, she became extremely
concerned that the combination of a weak economy and geopolitical
uncertainties would negatively impact the market. Taking a bold
step, she changed her market allocation. For the entire year her
asset class exposures averaged 50% in stocks and 50% in cash. The
S&P’s allocation between stocks and cash during the period was
a constant 97% and 3%, respectively. The risk-free rate of return
was 2%.

your answer to 2 decimal places.)
