- Your client is shocked at how much risk Blandy stock has and would like to reduce the level of risk. You suggest that the client sell 25% of the Blandy stock and create a portfolio with 75% Blandy stock and 25% in the high-risk Gourmange stock. How do you suppose the client will react to replacing some of the Blandy stock with high-risk stock? Show the client what the proposed portfolio return would have been in each year of the sample. Then calculate the average return and standard deviation using the portfolios annual returns. How does the risk of this two-stock portfolio compare with the risk of the individual stocks if they were held in isolation?APT An analyst has modeled the stock of Crisp Trucking using a two-factor APT model. The risk-free rate is 6%, the expected return on the first factor (r1) is 12%, and the expected return on the second factor (r2) is 8%. If bi1 = 0.7 and bi2 = 0.9, what is Crisp’s required return?Expected return and standard of a risky portfolio are 11% and 21% respectively. Risk-free rate is 5%. Mr. Yen constructed a complete portfolio with these two assets, which maximises his utility. If the standard deviation of his complete portfolio is 15.75%, what is the value of Mr. Yen’s risk aversion coefficient? (You must show all necessary workings)
- Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Assume that your client would prefer to invest her entire wealth into a portfolio with an annual risk premium of 6% and a standard deviation of 12%. You have constructed a risky portfolio with an expected return of 10% and a standard deviation of 15%. T-Bills are currently yielding 4%. What is the optimal allocation, y, to the risky portfolio given your client's risk preferences? What is the expected return and standard deviation on your client's optimal complete portfolio?Drew can design a risky portfolio based on two risky assets, Origami and Gamiori. Origami has an expected return of 13% and a standard deviation of 20%. Gamiori has an expected return of 6% and a standard deviation of 10%. The correlation coefficient between the returns of Origami and Gamiori is 0.30. The risk-free rate of return is 2%. What is the Sharpe ratio of the optimal risky portfolio? A. 60.26% B. 12.19% C. 9.34% D. 47.78%If your portfolio includes 35 percent of X, 40 percent of Y and 25 percent of Z, answer the following questions: (a) Calculate the portfolio expected return. (b) Calculate the variance and the standard deviation of the portfolio. (c) If the expected T-bill rate is 3.80 percent, calculate the expected risk premium on the portfolio. (d) If the market index fund has the same expected return as your portfolio, without considering any transaction cost, would you consider selling your portfolio and investing the market index fund instead? Explain your thoughts.
- You manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 19% and a standard deviation of 30%. The T-bill rate is 4%. Your client chooses to invest 75% of a portfolio in your fund and 25% in a T-bill money market fund. What is the reward-to-volatility (Sharpe) ratio (S) of your risky portfolio? Your client’s? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)You manage a risky portfolio with expected rate of return of 18% and standard deviation of 28%. The T-bill rate is 8%. a. Your client chooses to invest 70% of a portfolio in your fund and 30% in a T-bill money market fund. What is the expected value and standard deviation of the rate of return on his portfolio? b. What is the reward-to-volatility ratio (S) of your risky portfolio? Your client’s? c. Draw the CAL of your portfolio on an expected return–standard deviation diagram. What is the slope of the CAL? Show the position of your client on your fund’s CAL. d. Suppose that your client decides to invest in your portfolio a proportion y of the total investment budget so that the overall portfolio will have an expected rate of return of 16%. What is the proportion y? What is the standard deviation of the rate of return on your client’s portfolio? e. Suppose that your client prefers to invest in your fund a proportion y that maximizes the expected return on the complete portfolio subject…Assume that you manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 15% and a standard deviation of 40%. The T-bill rate is 5% A client prefers to invest in your portfolio a proportion (y) that maximizes the expected return on the overall portfolio subject to the constraint that the overall portfolio's standard deviation will not exceed 30%. What is the investment proportion, y? What is the expected rate of return on the overall portfolio
- Suppose that you have the following two opportunities from which to construct a complete portfolio: risk-free asset earning 2%, and a risky asset with expected return of 12% and standard deviation of 20%. If you construct a complete portfolio that has expected return of 5%, what is its standard deviation?You manage a risky portfolio with an expected return of 12% and a standard deviation of 24%. Assumethat you can invest and borrow at a risk-free rate of 3%, using T-bills. a) Draw the Capital Allocation Line (CAL) for this combination of risky portfolio and risk-free asset.What is the Sharpe ratio of the risky portfolio?b) Your client chooses to invest 50% of their funds into your risky portfolio and 50% risk-free. Whatis the expected return and standard deviation of the rate of return on their portfolio?An investor can design a complete portfolio based on a risky portfolio and a risk-free asset. The risky portfolio has an expected return of 10% and a standard deviation of 20%. Risk-free rate is 5%. If the investment weight on the risky portfolio is 70% and the weight on the risk-free asset is 30%, what is expected return and standard deviation of the complete portfolio?
