- Consider an economy with a (net) risk-free return r1 = 0:1 and a market portfolio with normally distributed return, with ErM = 0:2 and 2M = 0:02. Suppose investor A has CARA preferences, with risk aversion coe¢ cient equal to 1 and an endowment of 10. a) Write down the maximization problem for the investor. b) Determine the amount invested in the risky portfolio and in the risk-free asset. c) Suppose another investor (B) has a coe¢ cient of absolute risk aversion equal to 2 (and the same endowment 10). Compute his optimal portfolio and compare it to that of investor A. Explain the di§erent results for investors A and B. d) Finally, consider Investor C with mean-variance preferences Ec V ar(c) (and endowment 10). Compute his optimal portfolio and compare it to that of investors A and B (as obtained in questions b and c). Compare your result with those obtained for investors A and B.Consider the following portfolio choice problem. The investor has initial wealth w and utility u(x) = −e. There is a safe asset (such as a US government bond) that has net real return of zero. There is also a risky asset with a random net return that has only two possible returns, R₁ with probability 1 − q and Ro with probability q. We assume R₁ ≤ 0, Ro > 0. Let a be the share of wealth w invested in the risky asset, so that 1 – a share of wealth is invested in the safe asset. (a) Find a as a function of w. How does a change with wealth? Explain the intuition.Consider the following portfolio choice problem. The investor has initial wealth w andutility u(x) = (x^n) /n. There is a safe asset (such as a US government bond) that has netreal return of zero. There is also a risky asset with a random net return that has onlytwo possible returns, R1 with probability 1 − q and R0 with probability q. We assumeR1 < 0, R0 > 0. Let A be the amount invested in the risky asset, so that w − A isinvested in the safe asset.i) What are risk preferences of this investor, are they risk-averse, riskneutral or risk-loving?ii) Find A as a function of w.
- (a) Determine the expected return of security X (b) To reduce the systematic risk of the portfolio, Anna is considering 3 securities to add to the portfolio. Security A has a beta of 0, security B has a beta of 0.5 and Security C has a beta of -0.3. Discuss which security will be most effective in reducing the portfolio’s systematic risk? How would portfolio expected return change (higher or lower) if you add this security?The following figures show the optimal portfolio choice for two investors with different levels of risk-aversion graphically. Which statement is correct? E[R] 0.3 0.25 0.2 0.15 0.1 0.05 0 0 0.05 0.1 0.15 Figure 1 0.2 0.25 0.3 0.35 0.4 0.45 o (R) E[R] Figure (1) shows an investor with a conservative investment behavior. 0.3 0.25 0.2 0.15 0.1 0.05 0 0 Figure (2) shows an investor that borrows in risk-free rate and invests in the risky asset. 0.05 0.1 0.15 In the optimal point of both figures, the highest indifference curve is tangent to the efficient frontier. O In Figure (1), more aggressive investment decision led to a higher Sharpe ratio. Figure 2 0.2 0.25 o(R) 0.3 0.35 0.4 0.45Consider two perfectly negatively correlated risky securities A and B. A has an expected rate of return of 10% and a standard deviation of 16%. B has an expected rate of return of 8% and a standard deviation of 12%. The risk-free portfolio that can be formed with the two securities will earn a(n) _____ rate of return. A) 8.5% B) 9.0% C) 8.9% D) 9.9%
- There is a riskless asset with a return of 0.026, and a risky asset with an expected return of 0.240 and standard deviation of 0.468. If you were building a portfolio for an investor with a risk aversion of A=4.7, what proportion of their assets would you invest in the risky asset?An investor wishes to contruct a portfolio consisting of security 1 and security 2. the expected return on the two securities are E(R1) = 0.08 And E(R2) = 0.12 and the standard deviation 1 = 0.04 and Standard deviation 2 = 0.06. the correlation coefficient between thier returns is P1,2 = -0.5. Investor is free to choose the investment proportions W1 And W2 only to requirment that w1+w2=1 and both w1 and w2 are positive.There is no limit to the number of portfolios that meet thses requirements, since there is no limit to the number of proportions that sum to 1. Therefore a representative selection of values is considered w1: 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1Answer whether each of the following statements is correct and explain your argument. \ (a) According to CAPM, the expected return of a risky asset is larger than the risk free rate. (b) According to CAPM, the expected return of a risky asset increases with its variance. (c) According to the separation property, the optimal risky portfolio for an investor dependson the investor’s personal preference. (d) A less risk-averse investor has a steeper indifference curve for the utility function.
- The combination of the efficient set of portfolios with a riskless lending and borrowing rate results in: A. the capital market line which shows that all investors will invest in a combination of the riskless asset and the tangency portfolio. B. the capital market line which shows that all investors will only invest in the riskless asset. C. the security market line which shows that all investors will invest in the riskless asset only. D. the security market line which shows that all investors will invest in a combination of the riskless asset and the tangency portfolio. E. None of these.A portfolio that combines the risk-free asset and the market portfolio has an expected return of 6.4 percent and a standard deviation of 9.4 percent. The risk-free rate is 3.4 percent, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 11.4 percent. Assume the capital asset pricing model holds. What expected rate of return would a security earn if it had a .39 correlation with the market portfolio and a standard deviation of 54.4 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)b. Suppose that you have the following information of three risky assets. Security Return (%) Standard Covariance with Deviation (%) A B A 11 10 4 14 6. 30 17 Risk free rate = 6%, (assume that A = 6). Requirement: Find the optimal portfolio weight of risky assets. How do you allocate the capital between optimal portfolio of risky asset and risk-free assets.
