. Give 3 limitations of VaR.

4. Consider the following information. Your portfolio is invested 30 percent each in A and C, and 40 percent in B. What is the expected return and standard deviation of this portfolio? (10 marks) State of Probability of Rate of Return if State Occurs Economy State of Economy Stock A Stock B Stock C Boom 0.15 0.30 0.45 0.33 Good 0.45 0.12 0.10 0.15 Poor 0.35 0.01 -0.15 -0.05 Bust 0.05 -0.06 -0.30 -0.09

Assume that the CAPM is true, Rf = 5%,  Rm= 15% σm = 0.1. An investor with $10,000 to invest builds a portfolio, Q, of T-bills and the market portfolio. This means that: a) it would be possible for the investor to obtain a return of 17% on portfolio Q b) if portfolio Q were composed of short-selling $2,000 in T-bills and the remainder is the market portfolio, then Pqm = 1, βq = 1.2 and σq = 0.12 c) to obtain a return of 17% from portfolio Q the investor would need to invest $12,000 in the market portfolio d) all of the above are true e) only a) and b) above are true.  Pls show procedure, thanks

Consider a position consisting of 200,000 investment in asset A and  300,000 investment in asset B. Assume that the daily volatility of the assets are 1.5% and 1.8% respectively, and that coefficient of correlation between their returns is 0.4. What is the five day 95% VAR for the portfolio (given 95% confidence level represents 1.65 standard deviations on the left side of the normal distribution)?
