Suppose you have mean-variance utility function with a coefficient of risk Aversion-0, which stocks are preferred to P.

Question 1 Are the following statements true or false? Provide a short justification for your answer. (You are evaluated on your justification.) Remember that a statement is false if any part of the statement is false. A single correct counterexample is sufficient to show that a statement is false. a) assets A, B, C, with expected returns and standard deviations: Suppose you are a mean-variance optimizer. The risk-free rate is 3%. There are three risky E [řa] = 10%, SD [FA] = 5% E [řB] = 15%, SD [řB] = 7% E [řc] = 12%, SD [řc] = 9% You cannot invest in all three risky assets. Instead, you have to choose whether to invest in only assets (A, B), or only assets (A, C). Asset B mean-variance dominates asset C, since it has higher return and lower standard deviation than asset C. Thus, as long as you are risk-averse, you would always prefer the set of assets (A, B) to the set assets (A, C). b) the same market B's. The covariance matrix between A, B, C is: Suppose the CAPM holds. Consider…

T/F. The “Fear Index” is calculated using estimates of implied volatility. Group of answer choices True False

According to modern portfolio theory, pair-wise covariance is more important to total portfolio risk than individual security variance. True or False

How does standard deviation and variance affect portfolio risk, more so than expected return?

Over time beta coefficients tend to approach the beta value of the market portfolio. O True False

Portfolios that offer the highest expected return for a given variance (or standard deviation) are known as efficient portfolios. O true false

Given the following probability distribution, what is the standard deviation of returns for Security J? (Expresss your answer in percentage, but do not include the percent sign, %, i.e., 4.65) State Pi rJ 1 0.2 8 % 2 0.6 12    3 0.2 17
