Question

You manage an equity fund with an expected risk premium of 13% and a standard deviation of 44%. The rate on Treasury bills is 6.6%. Your client chooses to invest $90,000 of her portfolio in your equity fund and $60,000 in a T-bill money market fund. What is the expected return and standard deviation of return on your client’s portfolio? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the expected return and the standard deviation is given below:

the expected return is

= $90,000 × 13% + $60,000 × 6.6%

= $15,660.00

And,

standard deviation of return is

= $90,000 × 13% × 44% + $60,000 × 6.6%

= $5,148 + $3,960

= $9,108.00

In this way it should be calculated
