2 Queston It s assumed that the assumtons of the CP hold, n artcular the formal relatons of the securty market lne. In the table below several arameter values are gven for stocks,, C, and D as well as for the market ortfolo and the rsk-free asset: sset Eected return Standard devaton n % Correlaton wth the market ortfolo eta Stock 9,8 0,64 Stock 40 0,70,4 Stock C 0,6 4 0,9 Stock D 0 arket ortfolo Rsk-free asset 0,0 5 a) Calculate the mssng values f ossble and show your workng. b) Decde whether the statements below are rght or wrong and gve reasons b) The sloe of the catal market lne equals the beta factor of the market ortfolo b) Dversfcaton averts systematc rsks b3) Observed returns are always hgher for securtes wth a hgh beta than for securtes wth a low beta c) Determne the relevant erformance measures for stock gven a realzed return of 0.%, a realzed standard devaton of 6%, a beta of 0.7 and the market ortfolo as benchmark CP: Eercse

3 Queston On the catal market two securtes wth the followng rsk-return characterstcs est: Stock : = 0% = 0% Stock : = 5% = 5% a) ssume that you own a ortfolo whch conssts of 35% stock and 65% stock. For whch correlaton between the stocks, s the standard devaton of the ortfolo return mamal and mnmal resectvely. Comute the resectve standard devaton of the ortfolo return. b) ssume that,=0.

The rsk-free rate s r f =7% and the varance of the market ortfolo s σ =0.35. What s the eected return of a securty wth a covarance of σ, = f the assumtons of the CP hold? f) You are the manager of an nvestment fund and calculate wth the followng numbers: σ =0.; µ =6% and r f =8%.
