Your portfolio invests in the stock of two companies. Company A’s stock has a variance of 0.25, while Company B’s stock has a standard deviation of 0.30. The correlation between the two stocks is 0.40. If 30% of your portfolio is invested in Company A, and 70% in Company B, what is the standard deviation of your portfolio? A. 28.74% B. 24.96% C. 30.30% D. 28.50%
Question 1 Are the following statements true or false? Provide a short justification for your answer. (You are evaluated on your justification.) Remember that a statement is false if any part of the statement is false. A single correct counterexample is sufficient to show that a statement is false. a) assets A, B, C, with expected returns and standard deviations: Suppose you are a mean-variance optimizer. The risk-free rate is 3%. There are three risky E [řa] = 10%, SD [FA] = 5% E [řB] = 15%, SD [řB] = 7% E [řc] = 12%, SD [řc] = 9% You cannot invest in all three risky assets. Instead, you have to choose whether to invest in only assets (A, B), or only assets (A, C). Asset B mean-variance dominates asset C, since it has higher return and lower standard deviation than asset C. Thus, as long as you are risk-averse, you would always prefer the set of assets (A, B) to the set assets (A, C). b) the same market B's. The covariance matrix between A, B, C is: Suppose the CAPM holds. Consider…
