Question Two risk analysts are attending a seminar on the topic of modern portfolio theory. One of the presentations in the seminar focuses on the efficient frontier, the capital market line, and the CAPM. Assuming the CAPM holds, which of the following observations is correct for the analysts to make?
选项:
A.
The capital market line always has a positive slope and its steepness depends on the market risk premium and the volatility of the market portfolio.
B.
The capital market line is the straight line connecting the risk-free asset with the zero-beta minimum-variance portfolio.
C.
The portfolio of risky assets with the lowest standard deviation on the efficient frontier is typically held by the least risk averse investors.
D.
The efficient frontier indicates that different individuals hold different portfolios of risky assets based upon their individual forecasts for asset returns.
解释:
Explanation:
A is correct. The capital market line connects the risk-free asset with the market portfolio, which is the efficient portfolio at which the capital market line is tangent to the efficient frontier. The equation of the capital market line is as follows:
where the subscript e denotes an efficient portfolio. Since the shape of the efficient frontier is dictated by the market risk premium, RM-RF, and the volatility of the market, the slope of the capital market line will also be dependent on these two factors.
B is incorrect. As said in A above, the capital market line connects the risk-free asset with the market portfolio (which by definition has a beta of 1).
C is incorrect. The implication of the CML is that all investors should allocate to two investments: the risk-free asset and the market portfolio. Investors with little tolerance for risk will allocate most of their funds to the risk-free asset.
D is incorrect. One of the crucial assumptions for the derivation of CAPM is that all market participants have the same expectations, and therefore have the same forecast for asset returns. Additionally, as mentioned above, all investors hold the same portfolio of risky assets, which is the market portfolio.

另一个答案说的是:根据CML线,横轴是组合的风险,风险厌恶者也就是在横轴为0的地方,纵轴的截距是rf,说明厌恶风险者只投资无风险资产,所以C错 还是没有理解为什么c错
