Portfolios A and B are both well-diversified. The risk-free rate is 8%. The return for the market is 10%. Portfolio A has an expected return of 15% and beta of 1.1. Portfolio B has an expected return of 9% and beta of 0.20. Portfolio A's variance is 9%, whilst Portfolio B's variance is 5.5%. Calculate for Portfolio A and Portfolio B the following: 1. Sharpe's Measure, 2. Treynor's Measure, 3. Jensen's Measure. Which is the better portfolio according to each measure?
Given: Calculate the expected returns and expected standard deviations of a two-stock portfolio having a correlation coefficient of 0.70 under the following conditions a. w1 = 1.00 b. w1 = 0.75 c. w1 = 0.50 d. w1 = 0.25 e. w1 = 0.05 Plot the results on a return-risk graph. Without calculations, draw in what the curve would look like first if the correlation coefficient had been 0.00 and then if it had been −0.70.
