Suppose that the borrowing rate that your client faces is 9%. Assume that the equity market index has an expected return of 13% and standard deviation of 25%, that rf = 5%. Draw a diagram of your client’s CML, accounting for the higher borrowing rate. Superimpose on it two sets of indifference curves, one for a client who will choose to borrow, and one for a client who will invest in both the index fund and a money market fund.
You are managing a fund with an expected rate of return of 15% and a standard deviation of 27%. The T-bill rate is 3%.
Your client chooses to invest 60% of his portfolio in your fund and the rest in a T-bill money market fund. What is the expected return of your client's portfolio? Enter your answer as a decimal number, rounded to three decimal places.
A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long term bond, and the third is a money fund that provides a safe return of 7%. The stock fund has an expected return of 19% and a standard deviation of 31%. The bond fund has an expected return of 14% and a standard deviation of 23%. The correlation between the fund returns is 0.10. You require that your portfolio yield an expected return of 16%, and that it be efficient, that is, on the steepest feasible CAL. What is the proportion invested in the money market fund and each of the two risky funds (rounded to 2 decimal places)?
Proportion Invested:
Money Market Fund = ?%
Stocks = ?%
Bonds = ?%
