- Consider two portfolios, Portfolio A and Portfolio B, with the following performance metrics: - Portfolio A has a Sharpe Ratio of 0.8, a Treynor Ratio of 1.2, and a Jensen's Alpha of 0.5. - Portfolio B has a Sharpe Ratio of 1.2, a Treynor Ratio of 0.9, and a Jensen's Alpha of -0.2. Which of the following statements is correct regarding the performance of these portfolios? Portfolio A has a higher risk-adjusted return when the risk is measured by the beta. Portfolio B outperforms the risk-adjusted return suggested by CAPM. Portfolio A and B have similar risk-adjusted returns, but Portfolio B exhibits negative abnormal returns. Portfolio B has a higher risk-adjusted return when the risk is measured by the standard deviation. Portfolio A outperforms Portfolio B in terms of both risk-adjusted return and abnormal returns suggested by CAPM.arrow_forwardUse the following data to answer the question regarding the performance of Guardian Stock Fund and the market portfolio.

One key consideration is each stock's contribution to portfolio risk and its statistical relationship with the portfolio's other stocks. Based on your understanding of portfolio risk, identify whether each statement is true or false Statement True False A portfolio's risk is likely to be smaller than the average of all stocks' standard deviations, because diversification lowers the portfolio's risk. Because of the effects of diversification, the portfolio's risk is likely to be more than the average of all stocks' standard deviations.…arrow_forward
- Bart Campbell, CFA, is a portfolio manager who has recently met with a prospective client, Jane Black. After conducting a survey market line (SML) performance analysis using the Dow Jones Industrial Average as her market proxy, Black claims that her portfolio has experienced superior performance. Campbell uses the capital asset pricing model as an investment performance measure and finds that Black’s portfolio plots below the SML. Campbell concludes that Black’s apparent superior performance is a function of an incorrectly specified market proxy, not superior investment management. Justify Campbell’s conclusion by addressing the likely effects of an incorrectly specified market proxy on both beta and the slope of the SML.arrow_forwardA financial planner is examining the portfolios held by several of her clients.
