Question

Suppose that the index model for two Canadian stocks HD and ML is estimated with the following results:

RHD =-0.03+2.10RM+eHD

R-squared =0.7

RML =0.06+1.60RM+eML

R-squared =0.6

σM =0.15

where M is S&P/TSX Comp Index and RX is the excess return of stock X.  

 

  1. What is the covariance and the correlation coefficient between HD and ML?
  2. For portfolio P with investment proportion of 0.4 in HD and 0.6 in ML, calculate the systematic risk, non-systematic risk, and total risk of P.
