Exercice 1
Assume the risk-free rate is 4%. You are a financial advisor, and must choose one of the funds
below to recommend to each of your clients. Whichever fund you recommend, your clients will
then combine it with risk-free borrowing and lending depending on their desired level of risk.
Which fund would you recommend without knowing your client’s risk preference?
Exercice 2 You have $55,000 to invest. You choose to put $105,000 into the market by borrowing $50,000.
a. If the risk-free interest rate is 3% and the market expected return is 11%, what is the
expected return of your investment?
b. If the market volatility is 16%, what is the volatility of your investment?
The stocks of two companies S1 and S2 have random rates of return for the future period.
We have:
E(RS1) = 20% E(RS2) = 10%
ρ S1;S2 = 0,2
X1 = 1 (et X2 = 0)
X1 = 0,8 (et X2 = 0,2)
X1 = 0,6 (et X2 = 0,4)
X1 = 0,5 (et X2 = 0,5)
X1 = 0,4 (et X2 = 0,6)
X1 = 0,2 (et X2 = 0,8)
X1 = 0 (et X2 = 1)
2. Plot the results on a graph (with Ep on the ordinate and σp on the abscissa).

(a)Determine the efficient portfolios
(b)Determine the optimal portfolio and explain the result.
3. We assume that the investor can borrow or lend at 6% (there is a risk-free security with a
certain return of 6%). Show how the presence of a risk-free security modifies the graph.
