Consider a client with a 10% return objective. A financial adviser creates a policy statement for that client, identifies relevant financial securities that fit the risk return profile for this client, and drafts an optimal asset allocation using specialized optimization techniques. After one year, the financial adviser's recommendations produce a return of 10%. Question: Is this client satisfied with the performance of the portfolio?

Portfolio return and standard deviation Jamie Wong is thinking of building an investment portfolio containing two exchange traded funds (ETFs) Jamie plans to invest $2,000 in Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO) and $8,000 in Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ). Jamie has decided to analyze some historical returns to get a sense for her portfolio's possible future risk and return. Six years of historical annual returns for each ETF are shown in the following table: a. Calculate the portfolio return, rp, for each of the 6 years assuming that 20% is invested in VOO and 80% is invested in QQQ b. Calculate the average annual return for each ETF and the portfolio over the six-year period. c. Calculate the standard deviation of annual returns for each ETF and the portfolio. How does the portfolio standard deviation compare to the standard deviations of the individual ETFs? d. Calculate the correlation coefficient for the two ETFs.

Xuemeihas been managing five portfolios for the last year. She has collected the following information and has begun to make several calculations for five two stock portfolios: 1 2 3 4 5 a) b) c) rate of return on NCP = 12% rate of return on NAB = 10% standard deviation of NCP = 15% standard deviation of NAB = 19% covariance = 0.0064 Portfolio Weight in NAB Portfolio Returns 30% 40% 60% 55% 20% Portfolio Variance Portfolio Standard Deviation 3 Assist Xuemei by finishing the calculations for her. That is, complete the missing figures in the table above. Explain to Xuemei why the portfolio standard deviation is not simply the weighted average of the standard deviation of the stocks in the portfolio. Find the weight for NAB that would result in the lowest portfolio variance. Do not restrict your enquiry to the five portfolios.
