Answer: Invest according to your risk appetite

Explanation:

The purpose of this question is to measure your risk appetite. There is therefore no right or wrong answer.

If you pick nothing, then you are very risk averse because you don't want to risk your salary on a venture with only a 20% chance of success.

If you would invest a month salary, you are not risk averse but you only have a moderate risk tolerance.

If you invest three months salary on a venture with a 20% chance of success, you have a high tolerance for risk.

If you take it a step further and invest six months salary, this shows that you have a very high risk tolerance.

The concept of risk and return is subjective for different people, as well as for corporations.
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Risk and Return

1. Joe is an average investor. His financial advisor gave him options of investing in stock A, with a σ of 12%, and stock B, with a σ of 9%. Both stocks have the same expected return of 16%. Joe can pick only one stock and decides to invest in stock B.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

2. Marcie works for an educational technology firm that recently launched its employee stock option plan (ESOP). Marcie allocated all her investments in the ESOP.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

3. rin wants to invest in a hedge fund that has had a very strong performance track record. The hedge fund has given its investors a return of over 60% for the past five years. Although Erin is tempted to put her money in the fund, she decides to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund’s assets, because she is aware that past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Good Financial Decision?

Yes

No

Explanation:

1. Joe's decision to invest in stock B is a good financial decision.  Since both investments have the same returns, the decision on which investment to take shifts to the standard deviation of the returns, which specifies the variability of the returns.  Invariably, the investment with less standard deviation should win the vote.  Therefore, Joe's decision is a good financial decision because investment in B has a standard deviation of 9% unlike A's 12%.

2. Putting all eggs in one market as Marcie had done by allocating all her investments in the ESOP is not a good financial decision, theoretically.  It is always best to spread the risks, though higher-yielding investments (returns) bear higher risks.

3. The decision of Erin to conduct due diligence on the hedge fund's assets, despite its past performance is a good financial decision.  Due diligence reveals some behind-the-scene information that are instrumental in making sound business decisions.  Who are the present managers of the fund?  What systems are in place in the entity to guarantee similar future performance, all things being equal?  What market's sentiments and information are available for consideration?  These questions, and many others can be answered through a due diligence.  Surely, "past performance is no guarantee of future results."
