Furthermore, investment management will also be covered in this course.   There are total 9 questions.  The parts written in blue letters with investment 01, 02, and 03 respectively are parts that should have pictures related to the problem. Please refer to the attached pictures. please read carefully all the problecgxms and double-check with the calculation.

 

Given Data

Average return = (-10% + 25% + 45%)/3 = 20% = 0.20

Var = ∑(Annual Return – Average Return)2 / N

Var = 0.155/3 = 0.051667 ~ 0.052

——————————————————–

1.2

SD = √Var = √0.051667 = 0.227

——————————————————–

2.1

Given Data

Average return of A = (-0.05 + 0.10 + 0.16) / 3 = 0.07

Average return of B = (0.02 – 0.07 + 0.10) / 3 = 0.01666667

Calculation Table:

Cov(A,B) = ∑(Return A – Average Return A) (Return B – Average Return B) / N

Cov(A, B) = 0.0045 / 3 = 0.0015

——————————————————–

2.2

Calculation Table

Var(A) = ∑(Return A – Average Return A)2 / N

Var(A) = 0.0234 / 3 = 0.0078

SD(A) = √Var(A) = √0.0078 = 0.08832

——————————————————–

2.3

Calculation Table

Var(B) = ∑(Return B – Average Return B)2 / N

Var(B) = 0.01446667 / 3 = 0.0048222

SD(B) = √Var(B) = √0.0048222 = 0.0694

——————————————————–

2.4

Corr(A, B) = Cov (A, B) / (SD(A) SD(B))

Corr (A, B) = 0.24458
