You have a portfolio with three assets. The forecasted inputs are showed in following table:

 

a. Calculate expected marginal contribution to total risk (MCTR) and absolute contribution to total risk (ACTR) of each asset.

b. You also have benchmark weight, which is 35% in Asset 1, 40% in Asset 2, 25% in Asset 3. 

Calculate marginal contribution to tracking error (MCTE) and absolute contribution to tracking error (ACTE). Specify which method do you use and the pros and cons of that method in the context of this question.
