2. (Understanding optimal portfolio choice) Consider two risky assets, the expected return of asset one is μ-0.1, the expected return of asset two is μ2-0.15, the risk or standard deviation of asset one is σ1-0.1, the risk or standard deviation of asset two is σ2-02. The two assets also happen to have zero correlation. An investor plans to build a portfolio by investing w of his investment to asset one and the rest of his investment to asset two. Calculate...
A portfolio is composed of two stocks, A and B. Stock A has a standard deviation of return of 5% while stock B has a standard deviation of return of 15%. The correlation coefficient between the returns on A and B is .5. Stock A comprises 40% of the portfolio while stock B comprises 60% of the portfolio. The variance of return on the portfolio is __________.
There are two asset classes: stocks and bonds. The expected return to stocks is 12% with a standard deviation of 22%. The expected return to bonds is 5% with a standard deviation of 8%. The correlation between stocks and bonds is 0.80. Assume your utility function is given by: U = E(r) – 2.5σ2. Given no constraints on investing in stocks or bonds, your utility is highest in which of the following portfolios?
