2. You have formed a portfolio of two securities. The portfolio weights, expected return, standard deviation (SD) of the individual securities and the correlation between security 1 and 2 are as follows:
Security 1: weight = 1.4 , expected return = 15% , standard deviation = 25%,
Security 2: weight = -0.4, expected return = 5% , standard deviation = 5%
Correlation (1,2) = 0.85
Also, there is a market portfolio and the market portfolio's expected return is E(R)=10% and standard deviation (SD) is 20%.
Select a false statement.
• The standard deviation (SD) of the portfolio is 11.1%
• The expected return of the portfolio is 19%.
• If the correlation between market portfolio and Security 2 is -0.4, then the beta of Security 2 is -0.1.
• The standard deviation of the portfolio is 33.32%.
• If the correlation between market portfolio and Security 1 is 0.35, then the beta of Security 1 is 0.44.
