(please don't use Ai solution)

Transcribed Image Text:If your maximum Sharpe ratio increased from 0.333 to 0.444 when adding a positive-alpha (open-ended) mutual fund to your portfolio, and the fund's idiosyncratic volatility was 15%, what was the
fund's alpha? (report your answer rounded to the nearest 3 decimals -- eg., 0.8765 % --> 0.877, 0.8763 --> 0.876)

- You are evaluating a closed-end mutual fund and see that its price is different from its net asset value (NAV). The fund has an expense ratio (ε) of 2.80% and a dividend yield (Ō) of 4.00%. The fund has experienced a risk-adjusted abnormal return (a) of 3.40%. By what amount (premium or discount) is the fund likely to trade relative to its NAV?

Suppose that $1 invested in a stock fund yields R after 1 year and that $1 invested in a bond fund yields Rp. suppose that R, is random with mean 0.08 (8%) and standard deviation 0.07, and suppose that R, is random with mean 0.05 (5%) and standard deviation 0.04. The correlation between R. and R, is 0.27. If you place a fraction w of your money in the stock fund and the rest, 1 the bond fund, then the return on your investment is R = wR₂ + (1-w)Rp. - Suppose that w = 0.53. Compute the mean and standard deviation of R. The mean is. (Round your response to three decimal places.) The standard deviation is. (Round your response to three decimal places.) w, inarrow_forward
