To calculate:
The fraction of the portfolio, fraction in equity and the stock portfolio if falls by 3%.
Introduction:
Portfolio involves financial asset grouping viz. currencies, commodities, bonds, stocks and cash equivalents. It also comprises of fund counterparts such as closed funds, exchange traded funds and mutual funds. Non-publicly tradable securities such as private, art and real estate investment are also part of portfolios.
Explanation of Solution
Fractions of portfolio invested in T-bills and equity can be calculated based on the Black-Scholes
model. The value of

"NORMSDIST" function are as follows:
- First, go to the Menu bar of Excel and select 'Formulas' option
- Select Insert Function '(fx)
- Then select a category as Financial
- Then select "NORMSDIST" and click OK
- Then the Function Argument window will open. Now, input the given data in the required field
- Click OK
- The formula will display the final answer as 0.7422
Therefore,
Calculate the put delte as follows:
Hence, place 25.785 of the portfolio in T-bills and 74.22%
Hence, place 25.785 of the portfolio in T-bills and 74.22%

- Questionarrow_forwardConsider an investment that pays off $700 or $1,400 per $1,000 invested with equal probability. Suppose you have $1,000 but are willing to borrow to increase your expected return. What would happen to the expected value and standard deviation of the investment if you borrowed an additional $1,000 and invested a total of $2,000? What if you borrowed $2,000 to invest a total of $3,000? Instructions: Complete the table below to answer the questions above. Enter your responses as whole numbers and enter percentage values as percentages not decimals (i.e., 23% not 0.23). Enter a negative sign (-) to indicate a negative number if necessary.

Suppose you manage a $105 million equity portfolio offering a dividend yield (DMM) of 5.5%. Dividends and portfolio value are expected to grow at a constant rate. Your annual fee for managing this portfolio is 0.55% of portfolio value and is calculated at the end of each year. a. Assuming that you will continue to manage the portfolio from now to eternity, what is the present value of the management contract? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer in millions rounded to 1 decimal places. b. What would the contract value be if you invested in stocks with a 4.5% yield?
