Assume that you manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 17% and a standard deviation of 27%. The T-bill rate is 7%.
Your risky portfolio includes the following investments in the given proportions:
Stock A | 27% |
Stock B | 33% |
Stock C | 40% |
Your client decides to invest in your risky portfolio a proportion
(y) of his total investment budget with the remainder in a
T-bill money market fund so that his overall portfolio will have an
expected rate of return of 15%.
a. What is the proportion y? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Proportion y
b. What are your client's investment proportions in your three stocks and the T-bill fund? (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)

Investment Proportions |
|
T-Bills | % | |
Stock A | % | |
Stock B | % | |
Stock C | % | |
c. What is the standard deviation of the rate of return on your client's portfolio? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
Standard deviation % per year
a) If the weight of risky portfolio is 'y' then weight of T-bill would be (1-y).
Expected return on clients portfolio = weight of risky portfolio x return on risky portfolio + weight of T-bill x return on T-bill
or, 15% = y x 17% + (1 - y) x 7%
or, y = 0.8
weight of risky portfolio = 0.8, weight of T-bill = 0.2
b)
Security | Investment Proportions |
T-bill | 20% (from part a) |
Stock A | 80% x 0.27 = 21.6% |
Stock B | 80% x 0.33 = 26.4% |
Stock C | 80% x 0.40 = 32% |
Total | 100% |
c) Standard deviation of a portfolio is computed as follows -
Now, standard deviation of T-bill would be zero as it is risk free. So, our formula would become
%
