Assume an investor has mean-variance utility preferences U = E(R) - 0.5A02 with coefficient of risk aversion A = 5. The market expected return is E(RM) = 5% and the standard deviation of the market is OM = 10%. The risk-free rate is Rs = 2%. Under CAPM, what's the weight of the risk-free assets (We) on your optimal portfolio?

John has a utility function given by the expression U(x) = E(r) -½A(s²). Where E(r) is the expected return on an asset and s is the standard deviation of returns on that asset.John has the opportunity to purchase the XJKsecurity that returns 25.9% with 23% probability and returns 8.6% the remainder of the time. The security has a price of $33 and A=11 a) What is the risk-neutral valuation of the XJK security? Recall the risk-neutral value is simply the...

We have discussed in class the idea that one may measure an investor's risk tolerances to different investment scenarios and then develop a mathematical model to describe the satisfaction or utility that an investor derives from his or her investments. This mathematical function is typically called a "utility" function and greater values of utility mean greater investor satisfaction. Consider the following investor utility function U = E(r) - (A/2)o where U is the inventor's utility, E() is a portfolio's expected...

Consider the following utility function introduced in the lecture. U = E(r) − 1/2 Aσ2 Suppose there are 3 types of financial securities one can choose to invest in. Expected return and standard deviation of each of these securities are as follows. E(r1) = .13; σ1 = .3 E(r2) = .15; σ2 = .5 E(r3) = .20; σ3 = .2 (a) Which of these three securities would a risk averse investor with A = 4 choose to invest, given that...
