If the sale and purchase transactions for a year amounted to Rs. 10,000 crore, and the average size of net assets is Rs. 5,000 crore, this means that investments are held in the portfolio, on an average for ________.

Practice question from Nism VA Mock Test 3 — bank. The correct answer is highlighted below with a full explanation.

Options

  1. A

    2 months

  2. B

    3 months

  3. 6 months

    Correct answer

  4. D

    12 months

Why this is the answer

The Portfolio Turnover Ratio is calculated by dividing the total transactions (purchase and sale) by the average size of the net assets. Here, the turnover ratio = Rs. 10,000 crore / Rs. 5,000 crore = 2. This means that the assets are held for an average of 6 months (12 months ÷ 2).
