An investor is considering two possible investment alternatives, Portfolio A and Portfolio B. The expected returns for each are shown in the table below under two different market conditions, along with the investors prediction for the probability of each market condition. The investor's prediction for the probability of each market condition. The investor's utility function can be represented as U(w) - square root (w). If the investor maximises their expected utility, which alternative would they choose? Portfolio A Portfolio B Bull Market Bear Market Portfolio A 16% Portfolio B 4% Probability 0.75 3% 2% 0.25
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Assume that your client would prefer to invest her entire wealth into a portfolio with an annual risk premium of 6% and a standard deviation of 12%. You have constructed a risky portfolio with an expected return of 10% and a standard deviation of 15%. T-Bills are currently yielding 4%. What is the optimal allocation, y, to the risky portfolio given your client's risk preferences? What is the expected return and standard deviation on your client's optimal complete portfolio?
You manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 22% and a standard deviation of 34%. The T-bill rate is 6%. Your client's degree of risk aversion is A = 1.7. Required: a. What proportion, y, of the total investment should be invested in your fund? b. What are the expected value and standard deviation of the rate of return on your client's optimized portfolio? Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Required A Required B What proportion, y, of the total investment should be invested in your fund? Note: Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Investment proportion y %
Consider the following information about a risky portfolio that youmanage, and a risk-free asset: E(rP ) = 11%, σP = 15%, rf = 5%.a) Your client wants to invest a proportion of her total investment budget in your riskyfund to provide an expected rate of return on her overall or complete portfolio equal to8%. What proportion should she invest in the risky portfolio, P, and what proportionin the risk-free asset? b) What will be the standard deviation of the rate of return on her portfolio? c) Another client wants the highest return possible subject to the constraint that you limithis standard deviation to be no more than 12%. Which client is more risk averse?
Find the optimal risky portfolio if you could only use these two funds, ABC and 123, assume the two funds have a correlation coefficient of 0.3. (To do this use excel and create 101 different combination of the two funds, where allocation or “w” for fund ABC is 0, then .01, then .02 and so forth until w=1. For each of these points calculate the Sharpe ratio. Graph these results with returns on the y axis and S.D on the x axis. Remember to report the return and standard deviation of the optimal risky portfolio.) The risk free rate is .02. ABC 123 Expected return 0.12 0.15 sd 0.2 0.3 Correlation coeffcient betweeen both 0.4 Find the w (the weight in fund ABC) that leads to the highest sharpe ratio (only consider the 101 different combinations, so the final answer will only have no more than two decimal places)
Please show all work and formulas in excel please! The Table for the problem is attached. Table below shows the historical returns for Companies A, B and C If one investor has a portfolio consisting of 50% Company A and 50% Company B, what are the average portfolio return and standard deviation? What is Sharpe ratio if the risk-free rate is 3.8%? If another investor has a portfolio consisting of 1/3 Company A, 1/3 Company B and 1/3 Company C, what are the average portfolio return and standard deviation? What is Sharpe ratio if the risk-free rate is 3.8% What would happen to the portfolio risk if more and more randomly selected stocks were added?
As a portfolio manager, assume the following information: The beta of your portfolio 1.2 Your performance is exactly on target with the SML data under condition 1 Assume the true SML data is given under condition 2. Condition 1 RFR Rm(proxy) Condition 2 0.04 0.1 0.05 0.12 Rm(true) How much does your performance differ from the true SML?
Suppose that you have access to two funds. Fund 1 has a ČAPM beta of 0.4, Fund 2 has a CAPM beta of 1.9. Fund 1 has an average return of 8.5% and Fund 2 has an average return of 10.5%. The riskless rate is 5% and the market risk premium is 7%. You would like to construct a Betting-against-Beta (BaB) strategy by levering up Fund 1 and delevering Fund 2 so that both have a beta of 1.75. Assume that you can borrow and lend at the riskless rate. What is the expected return on the zero-cost strategy long in levered Fund 1 and short in delevered Fund 2? A.8.00% B.4.39% C.2.93% D.10.25%
