Assume that the following one-factor macroeconomic model describes the expected return for portfolios:           Also assume that all investors agree on the expected returns and factor sensitivity of the three highly diversified Portfolios A, B, and C given in the following table: Portfolio Expected Return Factor Sensitivity A 0.09 0.50 B 0.13 0.75 C 0.17 1.50 If the model and the table are both correct, determine whether or not an arbitrage opportunity exists.  If not, why not?  If so, explain how to exploit it.

Portfolio Management

Portfolio management is the process by which an investor decides that how the person will invest in a variety of assets in order to get a desired return in the future. A portfolio means a pool of assets that includes securities, bonds, and other investment instruments which helps in risk minimization of the money that has been invested. In other words, it can be said that a portfolio means a combination of assets in which an investor decides to invest their money in order to get a lump sum return in the future or even a series of cash flow that the person is expecting at the end of their job life.
