A

Summary Introduction

To explain: Method to construct an arbitrage portfolio.

Introduction: Arbitrage portfolio is a stage in market to make profit when the prices are fluctuating in wide margin. Like purchase the share in low price and sell it in high price in the market.

B

Summary Introduction

To explain: Effect of the value of ß-square in the return of the portfolio.

Introduction: The beta value is act as a benchmark for the portfolio to measure the risk and provide security to the investment. The beta-square value tells us about the price changes of the asset in comparison of the benchmark. For better performance the beta-square value should be high.

Which of the following is TRUE?     To construct a capital market line, we use expected return as y-axis and beta as x-axis     On the capital market line debt securities are located to the right of the market portfolio     To construct a security market line, we use expected return as y-axis and beta as x-axis     Market portfolio lays at an intersection of the average indifference curve of a risk-averse investor and the efficient portfolio
A portfolio that is positively correlated with the market portfolio but not particularly sensitive to market risk factors would have a beta that is   A. Equal to zero.   B. Equal to one.   C. Less than zero.   D. Between 0 and 1.   E. Greater than 1.
The security market line (SML) is an equation that shows the relationship between risk as measured by beta and the required rates of return on individual securities. The SML equation is given below: ​ If a stock's expected return plots on or above the SML, then the stock's return is sufficient  to compensate the investor for risk. If a stock's expected return plots below the SML, the stock's return is insufficient to compensate the investor for risk.The SML line can change due to expected inflation and risk aversion. If inflation changes, then the SML plotted on a graph will shift up or down parallel to the old SML. If risk aversion changes, then the SML plotted on a graph will rotate up or down becoming more or less steep if investors become more or less risk averse. A firm can influence market risk (hence its beta coefficient) through changes in the composition of its assets and through changes in the amount of debt it uses.
