Question 4
You are a financial investor who actively buys and sells in the securities market. Now you have a portfolio, including four shares: $7,500 of Share A, $4,800 of Share B, $5,700 of Share C, and $2,500 of Share D.
Required:
A)Compute the weights of the assets in your portfolio?
B)If your portfolio has provided you with returns of 7.7%, 10.5%, - 8.7% and 14.2% over the past four years, respectively. Calculate the geometric average return of the portfolio for this period?
C)Assume that expected return of the stock A in your portfolio is 13.2%. The risk premium on the stocks of the same industry are 6.8%, beta of this stock is 1.3. Calculate the risk-free
D)You have another portfolio that comprises of two shares only: $500 Tesla shares and $700 Eagle shares. Below is the data of your portfolio:
|
Tesla |
Eagle |
Expected return |
13% |
20% |
Standard Deviation of return |
20% |
45% |
Correlation of coefficient (p) |
0.4 |
Compute the expected return of your portfolio.
E)Compute the expected risk (standard deviation) of the portfolio.

A)
Weight of Investment in A :
Weight of A = $ 7500 / $ 20500
= 0.36585
Weight of Investment in A is 0.36585 or 36.59 %
Weight of Investment in B :
Weight of B = $ 4800 / $ 20500
= 0.2341
Weight of Investment in B is 0.2341 or 23.41 %
Weight of Investment in C :
Weight of C = $ 5700 / $ 20500
= 0.278
Weight of Investment in C is 0.278 or 27.8 %
Weight of Investment in D :
Weight of D = $ 2500 / $ 20500
= 0.122
Weight of Investment in D is 0.122 or 12.2 %
