- According to modern portfolio theory, the idea that investors with different indifference curves will hold the same portfolio of risky securities is a result of O a. the separation theorem O b. covariance O c. the normal distribution assumption O d. diminishing marginal utility of income(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.Which of the following statements is correct concerning a mean-variance efficient portfolio of risky assets in a world where there is also a risk-free asset? OA. It will be impossible to form a different portfolio yielding a lower level of risk unless the portfolio also earns a lower return, O B. Risk averse investors will only choose to invest in the market portfolio (M) regardless of the risk-free rate. OC. The portfolio will always achieve the maximum possible returns. O D. The portfolio will always be inside the feasible set.
- Q.No.1. What is efficient set? Explain why rational investors will never choose a portfolio below the minimum variance point. Also show that this holds true regardless of whether risk- averse investors would have different attitudes towards risk.1. The diversifiable risk of a portfolio: a. Is correlated with systematic risk. b. Can be made sufficiently small. c. Is zero in the real world. d. Is the risk that investors lose because of transaction costs. Which one of the following conditions determines the investor’s overall optimal portfolio? a. The marginal ratio of substitution of the investor’s utility function must be equal to the Sharpe ratio of the optimal risky portfolio. b. The standard-deviation of the overall portfolio in minimised. c. The expected return of the overall portfolio is maximised. d. The slope of the Sharpe-ratio is equal to zero. 4. Markets can never be strong-form efficient because: a. There are too many traders in them. b. Investors are rational. c. Information is costly to acquire. d. All information is public. 5. Which one of the following is not a property of a pure arbitrage portfolio? a. Zero investment. b. Zero systematic risk. c. Positive net return. d. All of the above.Suppose the solid line represents the capital market line that results from a CAPM equilibrium and the dotted curves represent indifference curves for a given individual. Which of the following is correct if point M corresponds to the market portfolio? Group of answer choices The individual optimally holds only the market portfolio, M. The individual optimally holds portfolio B which can be partially characterized by a long position in the riskless asset. The individual optimally holds portfolio B which can be partially characterized by a short position in the riskless security The individual optimally holds portfolio A which can be partially characterized by a long position in the riskless security. None of the above.
- Given the indifference curves above, which of the following statements isCORRECT? A) The investor prefers portfolio A because it has a lower level of risk. B) The investor prefers portfolio B because it has the greatest expected return. C) The investor prefers portfolio E because it is on the indifference curve 2, which is higher than the indifference curve 1, where both portfolios A and B are situated. D) The investor does not prefer one portfolio from another as each portfolio lies on an indifferent curve.Answer 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.Some assumptions of Markowitz Portfolio Theory are said to be : (a) Investors consider each investment alternative as being presented by a probability distribution of expected returns over some holding period. (b) Investors estimate the return of the portfolio on the basis of the variability of expected Risk. (c) Investors base decisions solely on expected return and risk, so their utility curves are a function of expected return and the expected variance (or standard deviation)of returns only. (d) Investors minimize one-period expected utility, and their utility curves demonstrate diminishing marginal utility of wealth. a. B & C only b. B , C and D only c. All of the above d. A ,C and D only
- The Sharpe ratio Select one: O is computed using idiosyncratic risk only is computed using systematic risk only Ois maximized for the risk-free asset is the highest for a minimum variance portfolio is the same along the capital market linePick the correct statement: a. The Optimal Risk Portfolio and the Overall Optimal Portfolio are the same. b. The Overall Optimal Portfolio is the same for all investors. c. The Optimal Risky Portfolio is the same for all investors. d. The Overall Optimal Portfolio is the point of the efficient frontier where the Capital Allocation Line is tangent to the efficient frontier.Which of the following statements is correct? A delta-neutral portfolio is protected against large changes in the underlying asset price. The delta hedging error increases as gamma decreases. To change the vega of a portfolio, we need to trade the portfolio’s underlying asset. A delta-neutral portfolio needs to be rebalanced more frequently as the gamma increases to maintain delta-neutrality. Please explain and justify your choice using your own words.
