There are two assets 1 and 2, with returns X and Y correspondingly. Return X is a random variable with mean 1 and variance 1; return Y is a random variable with mean 1 and variance 3. We know that the expectation of X*Y is equal to 0. Find the share of asset 1 in the risk-minimizing portfolio.
What are the Sharpe ratio, Treynor ratio, and Jensen’s alpha for each portfolio?
Suppose the utility function is U = E(r) - 0.5Ao2. Draw the indifference curve corresponding to
a utility level of 0.2 for an investor with a risk aversion coefficient of 3. Please note the vertical
line indicates expected return, and plot standard deviation on the horizontal line.
