A mutual fund earned an average annual return of 9.0% over the last 5 years. During that time, the average risk-free rate was 0.8% and the average market return was 6.7%. If the fund has beta of 0.96, what was its annual alpha? Answer in percent, rounded to two decimal places. (e.g., 4.32% = 4.32).

- Investments are made to earn a return, but making investments requires the individual to bear risk. A higher return by itself does not necessarily indicate superior performance. It may simply be the result of taking more risk. Given this context, answer the following two-part questions. A mutual fund generates a 10.8 percent return. During the same period, the market rose by 8.8 percent. If the risk-free rate was 2 percent and the fund had a beta of 1.2 : Did the fund outperform the market? Explain your response.arrow_forward1. Suppose you have a project that has a 0.4 chance of tripling your investment in a year and a 0.6 chance of doubling your investment in a year.
