Questions 2:
If the level of broad inflation indexes is largely determined by commodity prices, the average real yield on direct commodity investments is most likely:

B 、equal to zero.
C、 greater than zero
B is correct. Hedge funds invest in securities and may take long and short positions. They may also use leverage.
A is incorrect. Leveraged buyout funds make equity investments in established companies.
C is incorrect. Venture capital funds provide capital to start-up firms with high growth potential.
B is correct. As the price increases of commodities are mirrored in higher price indexes, the nominal return is equal to inflation and thus the real return is zero.
A is incorrect. A negative real return implies inflation greater than nominal return. This is not the case if commodity price increases determine inflation.
C is incorrect. A positive real return implies inflation less than nominal return. This is not the case if commodity price increases determine inflation.
