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?
Your client has decided that the risk of the bond portfolio is acceptable and wishes to leave it as it is. Now your client has asked you to use historical returns to estimate the standard deviation of Blandy’s stock returns. (Note: Many analysts use 4 to 5 years of monthly returns to estimate risk, and many use 52 weeks of weekly returns; some even use a year or less of daily returns. For the sake of simplicity, use Blandy’s 10 annual returns.)
An analyst has modeled the stock of a company using the Fama-French three-factor model. The market return is 10%, the return on the SMB portfolio (rSMB) is 3.2%, and the return on the HML portfolio (rHML) is 4.8%. If ai = 0, bi = 1.2, ci = 20.4, and di = 1.3, what is the stock’s predicted return?
Your client has $103,000 invested in stock A. She would like to build a two-stock portfolio by investing another $103,000 in either stock B or C. She wants a portfolio with an expected return of at least 15.0% and as low a risk as possible, but the standard deviation must be no more than 40%. What do you advise her to do, and what will be the portfolio expected return and standard deviation?

I am having trouble solving this problem. Can you please provide me with some help? Thank you. I appreciate it. You estimate that the expected return of SPY stock is 15%, and standard deviation of the stock is 35%. The expected return of GLD is -2%, and standard deviation of the stock is 10%. If the correlation between SPY returns and GLD returns is -10%, what is the expected return and standard deviation of a portfolio with $5,000 invested in NFLX and $5,000 invested in DIS?
You have $122,000 to invest in a portfolio containing Stock X and Stock Y. Your goal is to create a portfolio that has an expected return of 17.6 percent. Stock X has an expected return of 14.0 percent and a beta of 1.26, and Stock Y has an expected return of 9.5 percent and a beta of 1.00. a. How much money will you invest in Stock Y? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) b. What is the beta of your portfolio?
I am having trouble solving this problem. Can you please provide me with some help? Thank you. I appreciate it. You estimate that the expected return of NFLX stock is 8%, and standard deviation of the stock is 20%. The expected return of DIS stock is 4%, and standard deviation of the stock is 7%. If the correlation between NFLX returns and DIS returns is 40%, what is the expected return and standard deviation of a portfolio with $7,000 invested in NFLX and $3,000 invested in DIS?
You are considering investing $1,000 in a T-bill that pays 0.05 and a risky portfolio, P, constructed with two risky securities, X and Y. The weights of X and Y in P are 0.60 and 0.40, respectively. X has an expected rate of return of 0.14 and variance of 0.01, and Y has an expected rate of return of 0.10 and a variance of 0.0081. What would be the dollar value of your positions in X, Y, and the T-bills, respectively, if you decide to hold a portfolio that has an expected outcome of $1,120?
You have $24,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock X with an expected return of 13 percent and Stock Y with an expected return of 12 percent. If your goal is to create a portfolio with an expected return of 12.65 percent, how much money will you invest in Stock X and Stock Y?

You have recently received $400,000 and you are considering investing $250,000 in the WIG and the remainder in TJH. Your analysis of each stock revealed the following information. The Expected Returns of both companies are 8% and 6% respectively and the Standard Deviations are 7% and 9% respectively. The correlation between the companies is 0.5. i. Compute the expected return of the portfolio ii. Compute the standard deviation of the portfolio iii. Given the results and any other computations, you deem relevant fromthe information presented, explain whether a rational risk-averse investor would prefer to invest in the suggested portfolio or 100% in WIG or 100% in TJH
Suppose you owned a portfolio consisting of $250,000 of long-term U.S. government bonds. Would your portfolio be riskless? Explain. What is the least risky security you can think of? Explain. Stock A has an expected return of 7%, a standard deviation of expected returns of 35%, a correlation coefficient with the market of −0.3, and a beta coefficient of −0.5. Stock B has an expected return of 12%, a standard deviation of returns of 10%, a 0.7 correlation with the market, and a beta coefficient of 1.0. Which security is riskier? Why?
