- Suppose you have $2,000 to invest. The market portfolio has an expected return of 10.5 percent and a standard deviation of 16 percent. The risk-free rate is 3.75 percent. How much should you invest in the risk-free asset if you wish to have a 15 percent return on the portfolio?arrow_forwardAssume that there is some risky portfolio Q, which has an expected return of 15%, and a standard deviation of 12%. The risk-free rate is 5%. There is also some asset P that is not part of Q. which has an expected return of 10%, and a standard deviation of 7%. You want to invest in some combination of the Q and the risk-free asset to achieve an expected return of 40% What is the standard deviation of your returns Select one O a 42% O b. 16% Oc 40% d 32%arrow_forwardSuppose that you have found the optimal risky combination using all risky assets available in the economy, and that this optimal risky portfolio has an expected return of 0.19 and standard deviation of 0.24. The T-bill rate is 0.05. What fraction of your money must be invested in the optimal risky portfolio in order to form a complete portfolio with an expected return of 0.09? Round your answer to 4 decimal places. For example, if your answer is 3.205 %, then please write down 0.0321..arrow_forward
- ) You estimate that the expected return of your portfolio is 30%. The standard deviation of the return is 25%. a. The returns of your portfolio are normally distributed. What is the probability of your portfolio suffering a loss greater than 20% (i.e., having a return that is less than -20%)? You may find the figure below helpful in answering the question (you can also use Excel). b. How would your answer to part a) change if the returns of your portfolio exhibited negative skewness (relative to the normal distribution). You do not need to do any calculations here - you just need to state whether it would be the same, higher or lower.

The efficient (tangent) portfolio has an expected return of 17% and a volatility of 10%. The risk-free rate of interest is 1%.

- You currently have $100,000 invested in a portfolio that has an expected return of 10% and a volatility of 10%.

- Find the expected portfolio return and standard deviation if you were to invest 50% of your portfolio in Asset B, 50% in Asset C, with no allocation to Asset A. Compute your answers to the nearest tenth of a basis point. (See attached data file) We know that Asset A: B: C: expected return: 1.16 1.35 1.38 expected standard deviation: 2.88 1.58 2.19arrow_forwardYou invest 50% of your wealth in risky asset A and 50% in the risk-free asset. E(ra) is 10% and OA is 16%, while the risk- ree rate is 3%. The expected return on your portfolio is________ while the standard deviation is_________ Multiple Choice 6.50%,; 8.00% 7.90%; ,11.20% 5.80%; ,6.40% 7.20%; ,9.60%arrow_forwardYou will have a portfolio that is only comprised of two assets. You plan to allocate 47.1% into asset A, which has an expected return of 12.1%. The remainder of your portfolio will be allocated to asset B, which has an expected return of 5.9%. What is your expected return on this two-asset portfolio? State your answer as a percentage with two decimal places (i.e., 13.21, not 0.1321).arrow_forward
