proposed strategic expected return

CFA Level III
#1

Hi all, in EXAMPLE 5 of the REAL ESTATE session (Adding Real Estate to the Strategic Asset Allocation); Solution 2 stated:

Solution to 2:

L3V5R30-113 The proposed strategic asset allocation’s expected return of 4.9% falls well short of the (1.05)(1.02)(1.0020) – 1.0 = 7.31% return objective based on the description of the problem.

Could some one help me understand how to arrive at this 7.31%, what formula to use?

Thanks

Spending rate, inflation, management fee, respectively.

Reread the example, then go back and reread Reading 15, section 3.

You have to be able to pull the pertinent facts out of a vignette quickly.
