Summary Introduction
Case summary:
Person J recently joined an investment firm named Company CW. His boss, Person P was taking about the investment portfolio. Person P is concerned about the systematic risks of potential investments. The company wants to analyze one such potential investment namely, Company C.
A vendor provides data about the stocks. However, the vendor does not disclose the method of calculating the data. Person P wants to know the way in which the analysis is made. Hence, he asks Person J to evaluate Company C.
Characters in the case:
- Company CW: Investment firm
- Person P: Founder of Company CW
- Person J: New employee
- Company C: The potential investment
To perform: Regression analysis on the monthly returns of Company C and S and P 500 for 36 months and plot the variables in a graph.

Assume that you run a regression on the raw returns of the stock of
Company J against the raw returns of the market and find an intercept of
1.324 percent and a beta of 1.25. If the risk-free rate is 2.64 percent, and
using the concept of Jensen's Alpha, then determine by how much this
stock beat the market.
Answer in decimal format, to 4 decimal places. For example, if you
answer is 3.33%, enter "0.0333".

- A challenge we run into when forecasting future stock returns is that stock returns compound. So, when using historical averages to forecast the future, we need to average together the arithmetic and geometric average returns using Blume's Formula: R(T) = T GeoAvg + NT Arith Avg N-1 In this formula, N is the number of historical annual returns you are using to calculate your averages and T is the number of future annual returns you are forecasting. Suppose you gather the following prices for a stock in order to calculate the last 10 (N = 10) annual returns. The stock does not pay dividends. Time 0 1 Time 0 calculate the last 10 (N=10) annual returns. The stock does not pay dividends. 1 2 3 4 5 10 6 . 7 8 9 10 Price $23.16 $32.81 Price $23.16 $32.81 $33.63 $36.83 $41.95 $41.04 $33.83 $37.45 $30.56 $29.90 $47.93 Using Blume's formula, what is the expected return per year for the next 4 years (T = 4)?
