- Suppose that in 2019 the Federal Reserve Bank can take three actions with equal probability: 1) not increasing short-term interest; 2) increasing short-term interest rate moderately; 3) increasing short-term interest rate aggressively. Further assume that the returns on the stock market will be 10%, 8%, and 3% respectively in these three scenarios, and the returns on the bond market will be 4%, 6%, and 8% in these three scenarios. Suppose that you can only invest in either the stock market or the bond market and your goal is to minimize your risk (hint: standard deviation). Will you invest in stocks or bonds?
- Over the last twenty years, the average return and standard deviation of returns of large cap value stocks are 8.5% and 15.2%, and the average return and standard deviation of returns of fixed income portfolio are 5.3% and 3.4%. Suppose that over the next year the expected returns and risks of the two asset classes will remain the same as what happened in the last twenty years. Further assume that you can invest in a riskless asset with 2% return over the next year (you can also borrow money with an interest rate of 2%).
Suppose that you can invest in the risk-free asset, and either the large cap value stocks portfolio or the fixed income portfolio. Which portfolio will you choose and why?
Homework Answers
The standard deviation of a portfolio is given by
sqrt(P1*(Ret1-Exp.Ret)^2+P2*(Ret2-Exp Ret)^2+P3*(Ret3-Exp
Ret))
