The Capital Market Line (CML) expresses the risk-return trade-off for a portfolio as follows: E(Rport )=RFR+Oport [(E(Rm)-RFR)/om ] Required: Extend this expression to allow for the evaluation of any individual risky Asset i. Explain the steps in details.

Considering the attached set of securities and portfolio returns: Find the combination of the weights that minimizes CV of the portfolio.  How does the CV of the optimal portfolio compare with the CVs of its constituents?

Consider the following performance data for a portfolio manager:               Benchmark Portfolio Index Portfolio     Weight Weight Return Return   Stocks 0.65 0.7 0.11 0.12   Bonds 0.3 0.25 0.07 0.08   Cash 0.05 0.05 0.03 0.025   a.Calculate the percentage return that can be attributed to the asset allocation decision. b.Calculate the percentage return that can be attributed to the security selection decision.

b. As an equity portfolio manager, you may use certain risk-adjusted performance measures. Describe and discuss the following measures of performance evaluation! Treynor Index, William Sharpe, Michael Jensen Using the following table evaluate which is better than other using three different measure of performance evaluation. Asset X E(R)% 12 beta Stdv 1.25 16 Y 11 1.0 12 Risk-free 3 0 0 Market index 12 1 12

(b) The risk premium should be the same across different stocks. (c) The greater common risks an investment has, the higher risk premium investors would require. Group of answer choices:  1. (a) 2. (a) and (b) 3. (a) and (c) 4. (a), (b), and (c)
