Consider a position consisting of a K200,000 investment in Asset A and a K300,000 investment in Asset B. Assume that the daily volatilities of the assets are 1.5% and 1.8% respectively, and that the coefficient of correlation between their returns is 0.4. What is the five day 95% Value at Risk (VaR) for the portfolio (95% confidence level represents 1.65 standard deviations on the left side of a normal distribution)?
Using the information provided in the pictures: Let’s assume, you want to construct a portfolio of risky and riskfreeassets. You wish to generate a 7% return for your complete portfolio E(rc). Using the Capital AllocationLine (CAL) equation - E(rc) = rf + y(E(Rp) - rf)a. Calculate the portion that you need to invest in risky assets and (b). in risk-free assets.c. Calculate the standard deviation of the portfolio.
2) A risky portfolio is provided with an expected rate of return of 19.5%, standard deviation of 30% and risk free rate of 8.5%. If the client chooses to invest three different risky assets a proportion of equal investments and also in T bills. a) Determine weights of all the distributed assets. b) Determine the Sharpe ratio of the portfolio c) If the investment is done such a way that the expected return is maximized with standard deviation not exceeding 25%. Determine the investment proportion and expected return of the portfolio.
