You are constructing a portfolio of two assets, Asset A and Asset B. The expected returns of the assets are 13 percent and 16 percent,respectively. The standard deviations of the assets are 39 percent and 47 percent, respectively. The correlation between the twoassets is 61 and the risk-free rate is 5.3 percent. What is the optimal Sharpe ratio in a portfolio of the two assets? What is the smallestexpected loss for this portfolio over the coming year with a probability of 1 percent? (A negative value should be indicated by a minussign. Do not round intermediate calculations.

You invest $96 in a risky asset and the T-bill. The risky asset has an expected rate of return of 19% and a standard deviation of 0.22, and a T-bill with a rate of return of 4%. A portfolio that has an expected outcome of $110 is formed by investing what dollar amount in the risky asset? Round your answer to the nearest cent (2 decimal places).
State the return rate (in %) for your optimal portfolio.
Two risky assets: A and B. The expected return for A is 15% and for B 30%. The variance for returns for A is 200(%2) and for B is 800(%2). The covariance between A and B returns is -0.05.

An investor puts 60% of her assets in a risky portfolio with an expected return of 15% and variance of .038. She puts the remaining 40% in T-bills that pay 3%. What are a.) the expected return and b.) the standard deviation of her portfolio?
Calculate the risk (standard deviation) of a 2-asset portfolio, in which asset A has a variance of return = 0.112, asset B a variance of return = 0.045, and the convariance between the return of 2 assets is = 0.102. asset A comprises 60% ans asset B comprises 40% of the total portfolio. Give your answer 0.000.
Consider two portfolios, Portfolio A and Portfolio B, with the following performance metrics: - Portfolio A has a Sharpe Ratio of 0.8, a Treynor Ratio of 1.2, and a Jensen's Alpha of 0.5. - Portfolio B has a Sharpe Ratio of 1.2, a Treynor Ratio of 0.9, and a Jensen's Alpha of -0.2. Which of the following statements is correct regarding the performance of these portfolios? Portfolio A has a higher risk-adjusted return when the risk is measured by the beta. Portfolio B outperforms the risk-adjusted return suggested by CAPM. Portfolio A and B have similar risk-adjusted returns, but Portfolio B exhibits negative abnormal returns. Portfolio B has a higher risk-adjusted return when the risk is measured by the standard deviation. Portfolio A outperforms Portfolio B in terms of both risk-adjusted return and abnormal returns suggested by CAPM.
Possible returns and their probabilities for an asset is given in the table below. The expected return is 30.25%. Calculate the standard deviation of the asset's return. Probability 0.40 0.45 0.15 13.92% O 17.84 % 18.55% O 19.09% 16.59% Return 0.52 0.17 0.12

In this question, you will be asked to calculate the variance/risk of a portfolio consisting of two assets. Consider a portfolio that only consists of asset E and asset B. E has weight of 60%, and B has weight of 40%. The variance of E is about 13%, and the variance of B is about 4%. The covariance between E and B is about 0.2. What is the variance of this portfolio? 0.1492 O 0.1012 0.19 0.094
