Assume the risk-free rate is 4%. You are a financial advisor, and must choose one of the funds below to recommend to each of your clients. Whichever fund you recommend, your clients will then combine it with risk-free borrowing and lending depending on their desired level of risk. Expected Return Volatility Fund A 7% 3% Fund B 10% 4% Fund C 9% 4% Which fund would you recommend without knowing your client's risk preference?
Consider the following risk-return characteristics for funds A and B: Expected return Risk Fund A (Equity) 12% 20% Fund B (Debt) 9% 16% The correlation coefficient between the returns of fund A and fund B is 0.4. 1. Which Fund is riskier? Write 1 if your answer is Fund A, write 2 if your answer is Fund B, or write 3 if your answer is undetermined. 2.1 What is the weight of fund A in the minimum variance portfolio? 2.4 What is the risk of the minimum variance portfolio? 2.2 What is the weight of Fund B in the minimum variance portfolio? 2.3 What is the expected return of the minimum variance portfolio?
In the following exercise, separate the investments according to the type of Keynesian demand they are: Transactions (0% to 5%), Precautionary (6% to 9%), and Speculative demand (greater than 10%). Investment in each category has the same risk. So you want to invest in the highest return for the same risk. Take each demand type and choose the highest return and put that amount into the investment. For example, if Bond fund A has a return of 4% and Fund B has a return of 5%, they have the same risk, so you would put $70 into bond fund B.       You have the following investments Opportunities ad returns. Fidelity Bonds                                       11% Fidelity Magellan                                    9% Putman Bonds one                                4% Putman bonds Two                            12% Growth Stock One                               15% Growth and Income                             8% Income Fund                                           3% Putman Growth…
