2. Consider an economy with 2 risky assets and one risk free asset. Two investors, A and B, have mean-variance utility functions (with different risk aversion coef- ficients). Let P denote investor A's optimal portfolio of risky and risk-free assets and let Q denote investor B's optimal portfolio of risky and risk-free assets. P and Q have expected returns and standard deviations given by P Q E[R] St. Dev. 0.2 0.45 0.1 0.25 (a) What is the risk-free interest rate...

Suppose there are two assets, one is risk-free and one is risky. The risk-free asset has a sure rate of return rj, the risky asset has a random rate of return r. Suppose the utility function of an investor is U(x) =--. The initial wealth is wo, the dollar amount invested in the risky asset is θ. r is normally distributed with mean μ and variance σ2. Based on the maximum utility framework, find the optimal investment strategy 6. (25...

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...

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...
