Q4. Suppose you develop a mutual fund that includes 500 NASDAQ stocks, all with equal weights in the fund's portfolio. The average return standard deviation of the stocks is 44 percent, and the average pairwise correlation among the stocks is 0.30. What is your estimate of the standard deviation of the fund's portfolio?
No. of stocks = | 500 | |||
Weight of each stock = 1/500= | 0.002 | |||
Standard deviaiton of each stock = | 44% | |||
correlation between each stock = | 0.3 | |||
no. of combination of standard portfolio calculation = 500^2 = | 250000 | |||
Total no. of combination of (weight * std. dev.)^2 = 500 |
||||
Total no. of other combination = 250000-500= | 249500 | |||
Standard deviation of portfolio = |
||||
(σp) |
√(500*(w s* σs )^ 2 )+ (249500 * (wS * σS * WS * σS * correlation)) |
|||
(σp) = |
√(500*(0.002*44%)^2) + (249500*0.002*0.002*44%*44%*0.30) |
|||
(σp) = | √(0.05835104) | |||
(σp) = | 0.2415595993 | or 24.16% | ||
So, standard deviation of fund's portfolio is 24.16% |

Suppose there are three assets: A, B, and C. Asset A’s expected return and standard deviation are 1 percent and 1 percent. Asset B has the same expected return and standard deviation as Asset A. However, the correlation coefficient of Assets A and B is −0.25. Asset C’s return is independent of the other two assets. The expected return and standard deviation of Asset C are 0.5 percent and 1 percent. (a) Find a portfolio of the three assets that...
A certain mutual fund invests in both U.S. and foreign markets. Let x be a random variable that represents the monthly percentage return for the fund. Assume x has mean u = 1.8% and standard deviation o = 0.6%. (a) The fund has over 500 stocks that combine together to give the overall monthly percentage return x. We can consider the monthly return of the stocks in the fund to be a sample from the population of monthly returns of...

I need help calculating all kf these questions. Really stuck on all of them! Thank you! Year using the returns for the first three years. The next rolling ace would be calculated using the returns from Years 2. 3. and 4, and so on Using the annual returns for large company stocks and Treasury bills, calculate both the 5- and 10-year rolling average return and standard deviation. h Over how many 5-year periods did Treasury bills outreform Caree company stocks?...
