Let X denote the annual rate of return from asset A, and let Y denote the annual rate of return from asset B. Suppose that E(X) = 0.15, E(Y) = 0.20, SD (X) = 0.05, SD (Y) = 0.06, and CORR (X, Y) = 0.30. Use a spreadsheet to perform the following analysis. (a) What is the expected return of investing 50% of the portfolio in asset A and 50% of the portfolio in asset B? What is the variance of this return? (b) Replace CORR (X, Y) = 0.30 by CORR (X, Y) = 0.60, 0, -0.30, and -0.60 and answer the questions in part (a). What is the impact of correlation on the expected returns and its variance? Explain why this is so. (c) Suppose that the fraction of the portfolio that is invested in asset B is f, and so the fraction of the portfolio that is invested in asset A is (1 – f).
