CAPM, portfolio risk, and return
Consider the following information for three stocks, Stocks A, B, and C. The returns on the three stocks are positively correlated, but they are not perfectly correlated. (That is, each of the correlation coefficients is between 0 and 1.)
Stock | Expected Return | Standard Deviation | Beta | ||
A | 9.87 | % | 14 | % | 0.9 |
B | 11.16 | 14 | 1.2 | ||
C | 12.88 | 14 | 1.6 |
Fund P has one-third of its funds invested in each of the three stocks. The risk-free rate is 6%, and the market is in equilibrium. (That is, required returns equal expected returns.)
As per CAPM, expected return = risk free rate + beta*market risk premium
Taking stock A
9.87%= 6% + 0.9*market risk premium
Market Risk Premium = 4.3%
b.Beta of fund P is equal to the weighted average beta
= 0.9*1/3 + 1.2*1/3 + 1.6*1/3
= 1.23 (approx.)
c.Required return on fund P = 6% + 1.23*4.3%
= 11.289%
d.The standard deviation of P would be less than 14%, because the returns of the 3 stocks are not perfectly correlated. Risk will be diversified in portfolio and standard deviation will be less than 14%
