Answer all section of question 1&2 using the attached excel spreadsheet. Show all answers on this sheet and your work on paper or on excel file uploaded to Canvas. Calculate the following (600 pts):
|
| Beta | Expected Return = R |
| QQQ | 1.08 | ?? |
| SPY | 1.01 | ?? |
| HYG | 0.34 | ?? |
| XBT | 0.0 | ?? |
| US-Treasury | 0.0 | 0.8% |
| Equity Risk Premium | 1.0 | 5.2% |

- Based on two years of historic data provided by Bloomberg, calculate expected annual return, annual standard deviation and Sharpe ratio for each of the four exchange-traded funds (ETFs) portfolios (QQQ Nasdaq 100, SPY S&P 500, HYG iBoxx High Yield Bond, XBT -- Bitcoin). Hint: build up from monthly returns to annual.
- Calculate the beta, expected annual return, annual standard deviation and Sharpe ratio for an equally weighted portfolio ( QQQ, SPY, HYG, XBT).
- Do any of the portfolios lie on the security market line? If not are they above or below the line? Correctly draw SML with ETFs for extra points.
- Construct a portfolio with an expected return consistent with the equity market using iBoxx High Yield ETF (HYG) and US Treasury 10-year bond. Assume you can invest and borrow at the risk-free rate.
- Explain the difference between the Beta and standard deviation on the equally weighted portfolio.
- How would you calculate unsystemic risk given the information above?
