Question
You own a portfolio equally invested in a risk-free asset and two stocks. If one of the stocks has a beta of 1.34 and the total portfolio is equally as risky as the market, what must the beta be for the other stock in your portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

The investor has initial wealth w and utility u(x)=. There is a safe asset (such as a US government bond) that has net real return of zero. There is also a risky asset with a random net return that has only two possible returns, R₁ with probability 1-q and Ro with probability q. We assume R₁ 0. Let A be the amount invested in the risky asset, so that w - A is invested in the safe asset. 1) Does the investor put more or less of his portfolio into the risky asset as his wealth increases?arrow_forward
