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 provides the least amount of risk reduction?
选项:
A.Asset 1 and Asset 2.
B.Asset 1 and Asset 3.
C.Asset 2 and Asset 3.
解释:
A is correct.
An equally weighted portfolio of Asset 1 and Asset 2 has the highest level of volatility of the three pairs. All three pairs have the same expected return; however, the portfolio of Asset 1 and Asset 2 provides the least amount of risk reduction.
risk reduction 应该是问哪个组合最能够降低风险?
ρ12=0.5,ρ13=-0.5,ρ23=-1
课上得时候,老师说根据组合方差得公式
最大值是ρ=1的时候,就是完全同向,一涨都跟着涨;
最小值是ρ=-1的时候,组合的方差实际就是两个相减的绝对值
那现在问三个组合里,哪个能够降低风险,不是应该选最小值是-1的吗?
