You are beginning your new job with Patriot Investment Strategies, a mutual fund family managing approximately $100 billion in assets.Patriot has a variety of funds with various objectives.You, as a group, have been assigned to manage a portfolio benchmarking an existing index and to create at least one new fund based on your interesting and reasonable ideas.Since Patriot has also hired several young bright newly graduates like you, the management of the company decides to initiate a mutual fund competition.However, the management has emphasized that although it is a tournament, the management is more interested in your ideas and how you present, execute, and evaluate them.Thus, the tasks you perform during the competition process are more critical in gaining respect in the company (so is your grade) than the final result you deliver.  The result of the competition is of second order importance.
