The venture capital fund has an expected return of 24.95%, a volatility of 64.91%, and a correlation of 0.19 with the Tanglewood Fund. Calculate the required return and use it to decide whether you should add the venture capital fund to your portfolio. The required return is %. (Round to two decimal places.)

Suppose you are the money manager of a $3.92 million investment fund. The fund consists of four stocks with the following investments and betas: Stock Investment Beta A $ 360,000 1.50 B 700,000 (0.50 ) C 960,000 1.25 D 1,900,000 0.75 If the market's required rate of return is 10% and the risk-free rate is 5%, what is the fund's required rate of return? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. %
Assume that you are the portfolio manager of the SF Fund, a $3 million hedge fund that contains the following stocks. The required rate of return on the market is 11.00% and the risk-free rate is 2.00%. What rate of return should investors expect (and require) on this fund? Do not round your intermediate calculations. Stock A B C D 11.16% 10.82% 9.93% 9.37% 9.71% Amount $1,075,000 $675,000 $750,000 $500,000 $3,000,000 Beta 1.20 0.50 1.40 0.75
Suppose that a mutual fund manager has a $20 million portfolio with a beta of 1.7. Also suppose that the risk free rate is 4.5% and the market risk premium is 5%. The manager expects to receive an additional $5 million, which is to be invested in a number of new stocks to add to the portfolio. After these stocks are added, the manager would like the fund's required rate of return to be 12%. For notation, let represent the required return, let RF represent the risk free rate, let b represent the beta of a group of stocks, and m represent the market return. According to the video, which equation most closely describes the security market line (SML)? OT=TRE+bx (M + TRF) O TRE-6x (rM - TRF) Or=TRF + TM-TRF ORF + bx (rM - TRF) Hint: Recall that the manager wants the new required rate of return for the portfolio to remain at 12%. Using the equation you just identified, and plugging in the relevant information, yields a beta of the portfolio, after the new stocks have been added, of…

If you create a portfolio for your client with 73 percent invested in the S&P 500 U.S. stock index (which includes T) and the remaining 27 percent in the Vanguard Gold index. The expected return is 30 percent for the S&P 500 and 3 percent for the Vanguard Gold index. The risk is 7.5 percent for the S&P 500 and 5 percent for the Vanguard Gold index. Estimate the portfolio’s return and risk given that the correlation coefficient between the S&P 500 and the Vanguard Gold index is -0.3? (e) Evaluate the effect of a change in the correlation coefficient to 0.8 on the portfolio’s return and risk.
You are working on creating a portfolio that mimics a fully diversified market index. Assume that you have $1 million fund to invest. You plan to allocate $195,000 and $365,000 of your fund to invest in stock A and B, respectively. To achieve your goal, you need to add an additional risky stock C and a risk-free bond to your portfolio. Assume that betas for stock A, B, and C are 0.80, 1.09, and 1.23, respectively. How much would you invest in stock C and risk-free bond?
In addition to risk-free securities, you are currently invested in the TanglewoodFund, a broad-based fund of stocks and other securities with an expected return of 14% and a volatility of 24%.
