Question

VAR

Consider a three-asset portfolio valued at 10 million AUD. The portfolio consists of the following stocks: BHP, Commonwealth Bank (CBA) and Woolworths (WOW). The variance covariance matrix of 10 day continuously compounded returns is equal to

BHP        CBA        WOW

BHP 0.001625 0.000658 0.000769

CBA 0.000658 0.001783 0.000536

WOW 0.000769 0.000536 0.001387

Assuming portfolio weights of BHP (70%), CBA (55%), WOW (-25%), calculate the 99% 10 days relative VAR estimate (employ a z score measured to 2 decimal places)

    For Dell, suppose its mean and standard deviation are 10% and 20%. For IBM, suppose its mean and standard deviation are 6% and 15%. Their correlation coefficient is 0.25. The risk-free rate is 2%. The optimal risky portfolio consists of 40% in IBM and 60% in Dell. [Note: This is an important exercise to obtain some intuition about CAPM. However, neither the formulas in Part 2 nor the algebraic proof in Part 5 are required for this course. If I...
