Consider a single-index model economy. The index portfolio M has E(RM ) = 6%, σM = 18%.An individual asset i has an estimate of βi = 1.1 and σ2ei = 0.0225 using the single index modelRi = αi + βiRM + ei. The forecast of asset i’s return is E(ri) = 12%. rf = 4%.
a) According to asset i’s return forecast, calculate αi.
(b) Calculate the optimal weight of combining asset i and the index portfolio M .
(c) Calculate the Sharpe ratio of the index portfolio M and the portfolio optimally combiningasset i and the index portfolio M .
Consider the following data for a one-factor economy. All portfolios are assumed to be well diversified.
Portfolio. A. F
Expected return 12% 6%
Beta. 1.2 0.0
Suppose that another portfolio, portfolio E, is well diversified with a beta of 0.6 and expected return of 8%. Would an arbitrage opportunity exist? If so, what would be the arbitrage strategy? (Note: show what the percentage profit from arbitrage will be)
Suppose that you know that the following well-diversified portfolios are fairly
priced in a two-factor economy where the risk-free rate is 5%. Determine the
