You are borrowing £1,000,000 for four weeks at the rate LIBOR + 2.5% (annual quote). Your objective as portfolio manager is to produce a fund that should deliver an annualised return of 15%. The holding period is 4 weeks (beginning and end of investment to be decided by the fund manager). Trading is allowed during the holding period (transaction costs are assumed to be zero). No short-selling nor use of other funds allowed.
