Solutions

Expert Solution

The investor is a risk-averse investor which means he/she does not like to take risk. In this case the investor will construct a portfolio with risk free asset and Fidelity large cap fund

A) Fidelity large cap fund as the sharpe ratio of this fund is higher than small cap fund and higher sharpe ratio is considerd good as compared to lower sharpe ratio.

SOLUTION Question 8: If a stock is added with TESLA which has correlation coefficient of 1 with TESLA then only Company specific risk (B) will be reduced. In other words, if both the stocks have perfect correlation their returns will move in same direction so market risk, unsystematic risk and inflation risk will not be reduced. Only risk which will be specific to these companies will be reduced.
