Consider two risky assets A and B with E(rA)= 15%, Sigma= 32%, E(rB)= 0.09, Sigma B= 23%, corrA,B= 0.2. The risk free rate is 5%. The optimal risky portfolio of comprised of the two risky assets is to allocate 64% to A and the rest to B. What is the standard deviation of the optimal risky portfolio
Standard Deviation of Portfolio = [(w1)2(s1)2 + (w2)2(s2)2 + 2(w1)(w2)(s1)(s2)Correlation]1/2
Standard Deviation of Portfolio = [(0.64)2(0.32)2 + (0.36)2(0.23)2 + 2(0.64)(0.36)(0.32)(0.23)(0.20)]1/2
Standard Deviation of Portfolio = 0.2358
Standard Deviation of Portfolio = 23.58%

1. Consider a portfolio P comprised of two risky assets (A and B) whose returns have a correlation of zero. Risky asset A has an expected return of 10% and standard deviation of 15%. Risky asset B has an expected return of 7% and standard deviation of 11%. Assuming a risk-free rate of 2.5%, what is the standard deviation of returns on the optimal risky portfolio? a) 9.18% b) .918% c) .84% d) 8.42%
2. Consider an economy with 2 risky assets and one risk free asset. Two investors, A and B, have mean-variance utility functions (with different risk aversion coef- ficients). Let P denote investor A's optimal portfolio of risky and risk-free assets and let Q denote investor B's optimal portfolio of risky and risk-free assets. P and Q have expected returns and standard deviations given by P Q E[R] St. Dev. 0.2 0.45 0.1 0.25 (a) What is the risk-free interest rate...
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...
We consider different risky portfolios consisting of two risky assets X and Y. Suppose the expected return and standard deviation of the Minimum Variance Portfolio (MVP), M, are 9.05% and 1.04%. There are four other risky portfolios consisting of X and Y: A) Portfolio A: E(rA) = 8.25% and σA = 1.10%. B) Portfolio B: E(rB) = 9.20% and σB = 1.05%. C) Portfolio C: E(rC) = 8.70% and σC = 1.05%. D) Portfolio D: E(rD) = 8.53% and σD...
Find the weights for the optimal risky portfolio. Assuming risk-free rate is 3%. E(rs) =10% E(rB )= 5% σs = 15% σB = 6% PBS = 0.3
please help and show your work! Consider a market model with three assets: two risky assets (#1 and #2) and one risk-free asset (#3). The risk-free rate of interest is r = 3%. The parameters of the risky returns are as follows: 02 = 15%, Mi = 6%, H2 = 9%, 01 = 10%, P12 = -10%. 1. Let u(x) and g(x) with xe (-0,00) denote, respectively, the expected return and volatility of my portfolio if I allocate 100x% of...
The universe of available securities includes two risky stocks A and B, and a risk-free asset. The data for the universe are as follows: Assets Expected Return Standard Deviation Stock A 6% 25% Stock B 12% 42% Risk free 5% 0 The correlation coefficient between A and B is -0.2. The investor maximizes a utility function U=E(r)−σ2 (i.e. she has a coefficient of risk aversion equal to 2). Assume that to maximize his utility when there is no available risk-free...
