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?
An investor wishes to contruct a portfolio consisting of security 1 and security 2. the expected return on the two securities are E(R1) = 0.08 And E(R2) = 0.12 and the standard deviation 1 = 0.04 and Standard deviation 2 = 0.06. the correlation coefficient between thier returns is P1,2 = -0.5. Investor is free to choose the investment proportions W1 And W2 only to requirment that w1+w2=1 and both w1 and w2 are positive.There is no limit to the number of portfolios that meet thses requirements, since there is no limit to the number of proportions that sum to 1. Therefore a representative selection of values is considered w1: 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1
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 BPL 12 4 BPL & ICC: -1.2 ICC 7 2 Scenario 2: Construct equal weighted portfolios from following securities Expected Return (in %) Risk (as Std Div.) Covariance PSL 11 5 PSL & IPL: 3.75 IPL 8 3
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.
Consider a portfolio consisting of the below securities with the below characteristics: Security Amount Invested($) Beta Expected Return A 1,5 MIL 1.0 12.0%B 1.0 MIL 1.5 13.5%C 2.0 MIL 0.8 9.0% Required:a) Calculate the portfolio’s Beta. b) Calculate the portfolio’s expected return. c) Discuss the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) explaining what it is used forand which are its limitations.
A person is interested in constructing a portfolio. Two stocks are being considered. Letx = percent return for an investment in stock 1, and y = percent return for an investment instock 2. The expected return and variance for stock 1 are e(x) = 8.45% and Var(x) = 25.The expected return and variance for stock 2 are e(y) = 3.20% and Var(y) = 1. Thecovariance between the returns is sxy = −3.a. what is the standard deviation for an investment in stock 1 and for an investment instock 2? Using the standard deviation as a measure of risk, which of these stocks isthe riskier investment?

c) Suppose Taneal is considering combining the two portfolios into a single portfolio. Ifshe invests 60% in Portfolio A and 40% in Portfolio B:i. Determine the return of the new portfolio ii. If the standard deviation for portfolio B was 19%, comment on the risk of the new portfolio, supported with calculations.iii. Should Taneal combine these two portfolios? Why
Consider a single-index model economy. The index portfolio M has E(RM ) = 6%, σM = 18%.An individual asset i has an estimate of βi = 1.1 and σ2ei = 0.0225 using the single index modelRi = αi + βiRM + ei. The forecast of asset i’s return is E(ri) = 12%. rf = 4%. a) According to asset i’s return forecast, calculate αi. (b) Calculate the optimal weight of combining asset i and the index portfolio M . (c) Calculate the Sharpe ratio of the index portfolio M and the portfolio optimally combiningasset i and the index portfolio M .

Assume that using the Security Market Line(SML) the required rate of return(RA)on stock A is found to be halfof the required return (RB) on stock B. The risk-free rate (Rf) is one-fourthof the required return on A. Return on market portfolio is denoted by RM. Find the ratioof betaof A(A) tobeta of B(B). Thank you for your help.
