INV 1 6c You have decided to invest in three mutual funds: one in equities, one in long corporate and government bonds, and a money market fund invested in T-bills yielding 5%. Your estimate of the relevant parameters for the equities and bond funds are as follows: Expected Return Standard Deviation Equities .15 .30 Bonds .06 .09 The correlation between the fund returns is 0.12. Determine the best feasible CAL and calculate its reward-to-volatility ratio.
INV 1 6f You have decided to invest in three mutual funds: one in equities, one in long corporate and government bonds, and a money market fund invested in T-bills yielding 5%. Your estimate of the relevant parameters for the equities and bond funds are as follows: Expected Return Standard Deviation Equities .15 .30 Bonds .06 .09 The correlation between the fund returns is 0.12. Compare the portfolios in #4 and #5. Is this consistent with what you would expect when adding the T-bill money market fund as essentially the risk-free asset?
INV 1 6e You have decided to invest in three mutual funds: one in equities, one in long corporate and government bonds, and a money market fund invested in T-bills yielding 5%. Your estimate of the relevant parameters for the equities and bond funds are as follows: Expected Return Standard Deviation Equities .15 .30 Bonds .06 .09 The correlation between the fund returns is 0.12. Finally, adding the money market fund to your risky portfolio, determine the weights of a portfolio yielding 10% overall, and calculate its standard deviation.
INV 1 6d You have decided to invest in three mutual funds: one in equities, one in long corporate and government bonds, and a money market fund invested in T-bills yielding 5%. Your estimate of the relevant parameters for the equities and bond funds are as follows: Expected Return Standard Deviation Equities .15 .30 Bonds .06 .09 The correlation between the fund returns is 0.12. Without the money market fund, what would be the weights of a portfolio on the best feasible CAL, composed of the equities and bond funds which would be expected to return 10%, and what would be its standard deviation?
