If the two secuities have a coelation coefficient of 0.7, what is thei covaiance? a b c d e

6 The following infomation is fo question Abigail Gace has a $900,000 fully divesified potfolio. he subsequently inheits AC Company common stock woth $100,000. He financial adviso povided he with the following estimates: The coelation coefficient of AC stock etuns with the oiginal potfolio etuns is The inheitance changes Gace s oveall potfolio and she is deciding whethe to keep the AC stock. Assuming Gace keeps the AC stock, calculate the: i. Expected etun of he new potfolio which includes the AC stock. ii. Covaiance of AC stock etuns with the oiginal potfolio etuns. iii. tandad deviation of he new potfolio which includes the AC stock.

7 24. If Gace sells the AC stock, she will invest the poceeds in isk-fee govenment secuities yielding 0.42 pecent monthly. Assuming Gace sells the AC stock and eplaces it with the govenment secuities, calculate the: (emembe the standad deviation of govenment secuities = 0 a. Expected etun of he new potfolio which includes the govenment secuities. b. Covaiance of the govenment secuity etuns with the oiginal potfolio etuns. c. tandad deviation of he new potfolio which includes the govenment secuities. 25. Detemine whethe the systematic isk of he new potfolio, which includes the govenment secuities, will be highe o lowe than that of he oiginal potfolio. Explain biefly

8 26. ased on convesations with he husband, Gace is consideing selling the $100,000 of AC stock and acquiing $100,000 of XYZ Company common stock instead. XYZ stock has the same expected etun and standad deviation as AC stock. He husband comments, It doesn t matte whethe you keep all of the AC stock o eplace it with $100,000 of XYZ stock. tate whethe he husband s comment is coect o incoect. Justify you esponse.

9 27. Geoge tephenson s cuent potfolio of $2.0 million is invested as follows: (K tephenson soon expects to eceive an additional $2.0 million and plans to invest the entie amount in an index fund that best complements the cuent potfolio. tephanie Coppa, CFA, is evaluating the fou index funds shown in the following table fo thei ability to poduce a potfolio that will meet two citeia elative to the cuent potfolio: (1 maintain o enhance expected etun and (2 maintain o educe volatility. Each fund is invested in an asset class that is not substantially epesented in the cuent potfolio. (K tate which fund Coppa should ecommend to tephenson. Justify you choice by descibing how you chosen fund best meets both of tephenson s citeia. No calculations ae equied.

10 The following data apply to question A pension fund manage is consideing 3 mutual funds. This fist is a stock fund, the second is a long-tem govenment and copoate bond fund, and the thid is a T-bill money maket fund that yields a ate of 8%. The pobability distibution of the isky funds is as follows Expected etun tandad deviation tock fund ( 20% 30% ond fund ( 12% 15% The coelation between the fund etuns is What ae the investment popotions in the minimum vaiance potfolio of the two isky funds, what is the expected value and standad deviation of its ate of etun? (The weight of stock in the minimum vaiance potfolio is calculated using the following fomula 2 σ Cov(, w Min ( = 2 2 σ + σ 2Cov(,

11 29. Now, assume you decide to include T-bill into you complete potfolio. olve numeically fo the popotions of each asset and fo the expected etun and standad deviation of the optimal isky potfolio (the optimal isky potfolio is the combination of stock and bond fund that gives investo the best isk-etun tade-off when combining with T-bill (The popotion of the optimal isky potfolio invested in the stock fund is given by:, ]Cov( E( [E( ] [E( ] [E(, ]Cov( [E( ] [E( w f f 2 f 2 f f 2 f + σ + σ σ = 30. What is the ewad-to-vaiability atio of the best feasible CAL?

12 31. uppose now that you potfolio must yield an expected etun of 14% and be efficient, that is, on the best feasible CAL. a. What is the standad deviation of you potfolio? b. What is the popotion invested in the T-bill fund and each of the two isky funds? 32. If you wee to use only the two isky funds and still equie an expected etun of 14%, what would be the investment popotions of you potfolio? Compae its standad deviation to that of the optimal potfolio in the pevious poblem (#31. What do you conclude?

13 33. tocks offe an expected ate of etun of 10% with a standad deviation of 20%, and gold offes an expected etun of 5% with a standad deviation of 25%. a. In light of the appaent infeioity of gold to stocks with espect to both mean etun and volatility, would anyone hold gold? Explain you answe b. How would you answe (a if the coelation coefficient between gold and stocks wee 1.0? Could these expected etuns, standad deviations, and coelation epesent an equilibium fo the secuity maket (i.e., if no one chooses to hold gold, would the situation be thee fo long time?
