What decision would be made under minimax regret?
Course: FinanceAs a great investor, you are interested in 3 assets to invest: A, B and C. A financial advisor tells you that the returns on the assets are independent of each other, and you are given the following data:
Asset
A
B
C
E(Ri)
0.05
0.035
0.06
Variance
0.0015
0
0.008
You have not yet analyzed what your degree of risk aversion (A) is, but you know that your utility function behaves as follows: U[ E(Rp)] = E(Rp) - 0.5 * A * Variance. (See attached image for a better understanding)
You are asked to:(a) Find the optimal portfolio with these 3 assets {called wA, wB and wC}.b) Calculate the expected return and risk of the optimal portfolio for the following degrees of risk aversion (A):(i) A = 5(ii) A = 10(iii) A = 16

- We talk about a problem in Corporate Governance in active monitoring. A monitor learns about the Bad Project, which yields private benefit B, with probability M. The monitor learns nothing with probability 1-M. This probability of M of effective monitoring (=monitoring level) is dependent on the effort cost or what we call disutility of effort g(M) incurred by this monitor. It is assumed that disutility of effort is increasing g’()>0 and convex g’’()>0. We also assume that g’(0) and g’(1) = ∞. Let Rb be the borrower’s reward. In successful case, its value is b/Δp < Rb < B/Δp. Let Rm be the monitor’s payoff in a successful case. The question is: Show the Net Present Value of the project for monitoring level M.arrow_forwardThe best investment ____________________.
