Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term government and corporate bond fund, and the third is a T-bill money market fund that yields a sure rate of 5.5%. The probability distributions of the risky funds are: Stock fund (S) Bond fund (B) The correlation between the fund returns is 0.25 . Required: What is the expected return and standard deviation for the minimum-variance portfolio of the two risky funds? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Expected Return Correct, Standard Deviation Incorrect Required: Solve numerically for the proportions of each asset and for the expected return and standard deviation of the optimal risky portfolio. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to 2 decimal places.) Required: What is the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible…
The average return, standard deviation, and beta for Fund A is given below along with data for the S&P 500 Index. Fund Average Return Standard Deviation Beta A 14.5% 24.6% 1.4 S&P 500 14.5% 21.3% 1 Risk-free 1% Calculate the Sharpe measure of performance for the S&P 500.
The average return, standard deviation, and beta for Fund A is given below along with data for the S&P 500 Index. Fund Average Return Standard Deviation Beta A 12.5% 25.4% 1.27 S&P 500 14% 6% 1 Risk-free 1.2% Calculate the Sharpe measure of performance for Fund A.
Fund A Fund B Expected Ret. E(r) 13.2% 8.3% Standard Deviation - \sigma 15.5% 14.7% The table above contains expected annual returns for funds A and B. Assuming that the risk free rate is 1.34% and that the correlation of returns between funds A and B is 0.32, calculate the weight of Fund A in the Optimal two - risky asset portfolio comprised of funds A and B. Note: Enter your answer in percentages rounded to the nearest one digit after the decimal point. For example, if the weight of Fund A is 15.437% or 0.15437, enter it as: 15.4
You wish to evaluate which of the two equity funds delivered a better risk adjusted return in terms of Sharpe ratio with the risk free rate currently at 1.58% UIT Fund Fund Return Standard Deviation Equity Fund A 8.60% 20.12% Equity Fund B 8.91% 18.12% Calculate the Sharpe ratios for both equity funds A and B and state which fund had superior risk-adjusted performance during this period, as measured by the Sharpe ratio
