Write out the equation for the Capital Market Line (CML), and draw it on the graph. Interpret the plotted CML. Now add a set of indifference curves and illustrate how an investors optimal portfolio is some combination of the risky portfolio and the risk-free asset. What is the composition of the risky portfolio?
As a portfolio manager, you are required to take investment decision from the following two alternative scenarios: (Decision Criterion: Select a portfolio on relative risk basis) Scenario 1: Construct a portfolio with 60% investment in ICC: Expected Return (in %) Risk (as Std Div.)

Covariance PSL 11 5 PSL & IPL: 3.75 IPL 8 3
Which of the following will be a part of Efficient Frontier? A B C D E F Return (%) 8 8 12 4 9 8 Risk (Standard deviation) 4 5 12 4 5 6 Plot them in Risk return graph. Assuming correlation between A and C as 0.3, find the risk and return of the portfolio with 75 % proportion in A and 25 % in C, also interpret the result of such diversification.
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.
Use the following CAPM equation for a portfolio to answer the questions that follow:E(RP) = RF + βP (RM – RF) = 1 + 0.8 (5 – 1) = 4.2% a) Is the portfolio defensive or aggressive. Why? b) If the actual portfolio return is 6%, what is the portfolio’s alpha?
