Chapter – 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of Study The economy of nation depends on the uses of available resources in efficient way. The proper utilization of assets appreciates in wealth position of individual and country as well. To mobilize available resource‚ there should be proper planning‚ efficient management‚ far sighting strategy‚ good financial management and up-to-date information. Integrated and speedily development of the country is possible only when competitive banking and financial

What is the beta of a portfolio with E[rp ] = 18 percent‚ if rf = 6 percent and E[rM ] = 14 percent? Answer: Using the CAPM equilibrium condition‚ E[rp ] = rf + βp E[rM ] − rf ⇒ βp = E[rp ] − rf .18 − .06 = 1.5 . = E[rM ] − rf .14 − .06 2. The market price of a security is $50. Its expected return is 14 percent. The risk-free rate is 6 percent and the market risk premium is 8.5 percent. What will be the market price of the security if its covariance with the market portfolio doubles (and all other

inflation averaged 3.5% over the year‚ then the realized real return would only be 5.5% – 3.5% = 2%‚ not the expected 3%. To simplify matters‚ in terms of purchasing power‚ T-bills are not riskless. Investors are fully aware of the changes within a portfolio of T-bills‚ and as rates declined‚ the nominal income will fall; and T-bills are exposed to reinvestment rate risk. In summary‚ it is concluded that there are no truly risk-free securities within the United States. If the Treasury sold inflation-indexed

is planning to buy some financial products such as equities‚ bonds and currencies. She has asked me for some guidance. In my opinion‚ I think diversifying portfolio would be the best way to get a higher return. In this essay‚ I will explain the concept and benefits of diversification in financial markets. However‚ even with a diversified portfolio of investments‚ she still could suffer losses from a future financial crisis. Hence‚ I am going to explain the reasons for the losses in the essay as well

estimates‚ the securities where grouped into portfolios. The findings of this article are not supportive of the theory’s basic statement that higher risk (beta) is associated with higher levels of return. The model does explain‚ however‚ excess returns and thus lends support to the linear structure of the CAPM equation. The CAPM’s prediction for the intercept is that it should equal zero and the slope should equal the excess returns on the market portfolio. The results of the study refute the above

Efficient frontier construction Step 1. Variance/covariance matrix‚ σρσ The expected return and variance for the portfolio are: You can think of the variance as the “weighted average” of all the covariances‚ σiσjρij where the weights are xi and xj. Of course‚ the variance terms are special cases of the covariances when i=j‚ and ρij=1. You can calculate the portfolio variance in the spreadsheet in many different ways. The way I do it is to first calculate the variance/covariance matrix

concepts first : The mean variance framework‚ determines the optimal allocation to different asset classes that minimizes portfolio return variance. This is done by plotting allocations to the various asset classes across two axes representing risk and return. When the CAPM assumptions hold‚ an optimal portfolio is a combination of the risk-free investment and the market portfolio. This line is obtained by plotting a point representing the riskfree return on the y-axis and drawing a tangent to the efficiency
