1. Your investment portfolio had an annualized standard deviation of 28%, a beta of 1.1, an expected annual return of 11%, and an actual annual return of -20%. The average annual risk-free rate in the economy during that period was 4%. What was your portfolio's Sharpe Ratio? Write your answer out to three decimals - for example, write 16.2% as .162. 2. Your investment has a standard deviation of per-period returns of 33%. What is the standard deviation over 5...
Given the annual average return of a portfolio is 8.3% and the standard deviation is 17.57%. With a 3% risk-free rate, calculate the Sharpe ratio of this portfolio. (Give the answer up to 2 decimal places)
You calculated that the average return of your portfolio is 4% and the standard deviation is 16%, what is the value at risk (VaR) at 5% for your portfolio?
Q1) A stock fund has an expected return of 15% and a standard deviation of 25% and a bond fund has an expected return of 10% and a standard deviation of 10%. The correlation between the two funds is 0.25. The risk free rate is 5%. What is the (a) expected return and (b) standard deviation of the portfolio with 70% weight in the stock portfolio and 30% weight in the bond portfolio? Q2) The variance of Stock A is...
