组合的variance是怎么计算的

NO.PZ2016070202000020

问题如下:

You are given the following information about the returns of stock P and stock Q: variance of return of stock P=100; variance of return of stock Q=225; covariance between the return of stock P and the return of stock Q=53.2. At the end of 1999, you are holding USD 4 million in stock P. You are considering a strategy of shifting USD 1 million into stock Q and keeping USD 3 million in stock P. What percentage of risk, as measured by standard deviation of return, can be reduced by this strategy?

选项:

A.

0.5%

B.

5.0%

C.

7.4%

D.

9.7%

解释:

The variance of the original portfolio is 1,600, implying a volatility of 40. The new portfolio has variance of ;32×100+12×225+2×53.2×3×1=1,444;3^2\times100+1^2\times225+2\times53.2\times3\times1=1,444. This gives a volatility of 38, which is a reduction of 5%.

老师不理解组合的variance为什么算出来是1600,以及调整过后为什么是1440,P的头寸挪走了1m,剩下3m,3 就可以直接平方代替权重吗?

嗨,努力学习的PZer你好:


同学你好,

因为原本的头寸只有4m的P,p的方差是100,标准差就是10,p的dollar形式的variance就是(4*10)^2=1600

这里利用权重法或者是直接用数值的σ计算都是可以的,答案是一样的:

下图蓝色方框是利用权重计算出来的答案,答案一样的都是下降5%
