问题如下:
An analyst has made the following return projections for each of three possible outcomes with an equal likelihood of occurrence:
If the analyst constructs two-asset portfolios that are equally-weighted, which pair of assets has the lowest expected standard deviation?
选项:
A.Asset 1 and Asset 2.
B.Asset 1 and Asset 3.
C.Asset 2 and Asset 3.
解释:
C is correct.
An equally weighted portfolio of Asset 2 and Asset 3 will have the lowest portfolio standard deviation, because for each outcome, the portfolio has the same expected return (they are perfectly negatively correlated).
老师好,请问用计算器算出correlation后,是根据correlation是负数且绝对值越大,风险分散作用越强,所以standard deviation越小这样判断吗?感觉最后一列的expected return没有用上,题目给出这个条件应该怎么用呢?
