To do the linear stability analysis for all the fixed points of the equation d ϕ dt = f( ϕ ) , where f( ϕ ) = - sin ϕ + γ sin ϕ cos ϕ = sin ϕ (γ cos ϕ - 1) . Concept Introduction: Fixed points come off when f( ϕ ) = 0 . If f ' ( ϕ * ) > 0 , then ϕ * is an unstable fixed point If f ' ( ϕ * ) < 0 , then ϕ * is a stable fixed point.

Question

Chapter 3.5, Problem 2E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To do the linear stability analysis for all the fixed points of the equation dϕdt = f(ϕ), where f(ϕ) = - sin ϕ + γsinϕ cos ϕ = sin ϕ (γ cos ϕ - 1).

Concept Introduction:

Fixed points come off when f(ϕ) = 0.

If f'(ϕ) > 0, then ϕ is an unstable fixed point

If f'(ϕ) < 0, then ϕ is a stable fixed point.

4. Assume that a risk-free money market account is added to the market described in Q3. The continuously compounded rate of return on the money market account is log (1.1). (i) For each given μ, use Lagrange multipliers to determine the proportions (as a function of μ) of wealth invested in the three assets available for the minimum variance portfolio with expected return μ. (ii) Determine the market portfolio in this market and calculate its Sharp ratio.

3. A market consists of two risky assets with rates of return R₁ and R2 and no risk-free asset. From market data the following have been estimated: ER₁ = 0.25, ER2 = 0.05, Var R₁ = 0.01, Var R2 = 0.04 and the correlation between R1 and R2 is p = -0.75. (i) Given that an investor is targeting a total expected return of μ = 0.2. What portfolio weights should they choose to meet this goal with minimum portfolio variance? Correct all your calculations up to 4 decimal points. (ii) Determine the global minimum-variance portfolio and the expected return and variance of return of this portfolio (4 d.p.). (iii) Sketch the minimum-variance frontier in the μ-σ² plane and indicate the efficient frontier. (iv) Without further calculation, explain how the minimum variance of the investor's portfolio return will change if the two risky assets were independent.
