Suppose that you have found the optimal risky combination using all risky assets available in the economy, and that this optimal risky portfolio has an expected return of 0.1 and standard deviation of 0.2. The T-bill rate is 0.05.
If your risk-return preferences are best described by the utility function in this class, with a risk-aversion coefficient of 5.2. What is the expected return on your optimal complete portfolio?
Round your answer to 4 decimal places. For example if your answer is 3.205%, then please write down 0.0321.
Homework Answers
Proportion in optimal risky portfolio=(return on optimal risky portfolio-risk free rate)/(A*standard deviation of optimal risky portfolio^2)=(0.1-0.05)/(5.2*0.2*0.2)=0.24038
Expected return on optimal complete
portfolio=0.24038*0.1+(1-0.24038)*0.05=0.06202

The universe of available securities includes two risky stocks A and B, and a risk-free asset. The data for the universe are as follows: Assets Expected Return Standard Deviation Stock A 6% 25% Stock B 12% 42% Risk free 5% 0 The correlation coefficient between A and B is -0.2. The investor maximizes a utility function U=E(r)−σ2 (i.e. she has a coefficient of risk aversion equal to 2). Assume that to maximize his utility when there is no available risk-free...

You are considering investing in one of Fidelity's mutual funds. Based on the information provided in the prospectus, you believe the expected return of this Fidelity fund is 0.16 and its expected standard deviation is 0.3. Assume Treasury bill (risk-free security) currently returns 0.03 per year and you have estimated that your risk aversion coefficient, A, is 6. What is the optimal weight, y*, of this Fidelity mutual fund (risky portfolio) in your final complete portfolio? (The optimal weight refers...
