What is the expected return and standard deviation of your client's portfolio? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Suppose your risky portfolio includes the following investments in the given proportions:

33%

What are the investment proportions of your client’s overall portfolio, including the position in T-bills?(Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

What is the reward-to-volatility ratio (S) of your risky portfolio and your client's overall portfolio? (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)

Assume that you manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 15% and a standard deviation of 31%. The T-bill rate is 4%. Your client chooses to invest 70% of a portfolio in your fund and 30% in a T-bill money market fund.

Explanation / Answer

a.What is the expected return and standard deviation of your client's portfolio? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Expected return = Weight of Risky Portfolio*Expected return of risky Portfolio + Weight of T-Bill*Expected return of T-Bill

Expected return = 70%*15 + 30%*4

Expected return = 11.70%

Standard Deviation =  Weight of Risky Portfolio*Standard Deviation of risky Portfolio

Standard Deviation = 70%*31

Standard Deviation = 21.70%

  Expected return 11.70% per year  
  Standard deviation 21.70% per year

b.Suppose your risky portfolio includes the following investments in the given proportions:

  Stock A 26%
  Stock B 33%

  Stock C 41%

What are the investment proportions of your client
