Q

How does Covariance measures the interactive risk of 2 securities?

A

How price moves from 1 security in relation to the other.

Q

Correlation Cor/ Correlation Efficiency
Measures what and how it’s measured?

A

Cor = (Cov 1-2) / ((SD1)(SD2))
+1 means 2 assets perfectly correlated, No diversification
0 means there is no relation between 2 assets
-1 means they are perfectly correlated
Diversification starts when Cor < 1

Q

Beta measures what and how it’s measured?

A

It measures 1 security risk relative to the market.
Beta of bench market risk is: 1
If security Beta > 1, it means it’s more riskier than the market.
If its Beta < 1, it’s less riskier than the market.

Q

Beta vs. SD, what’s the difference in measurements?

A

Beta measures Systematic, market risk
SD measures total risk
Beta1= Cov 1-m / (SD m ^2)
Or
Beta1= (Cor 1-m * SD1)/ SD m
Beta = R 1 / R m

Q

CML Capital Market Line
How is it relate to CAPM? What does it measure?

A

It’s the macro aspect of CAPM
It’s the relationship between risk and return of ALL possible portfolios.

Q

SML Security Market Line
What does it measure and how is it different from CML?

A

It measures the risk and return as defined in CAPM formula.
If Rp > SML, it’s under valued, buy signal
If Return of portfolio < SML, over valued, do not buy
SML uses Beta, CML uses SD

Q

Jensen ‘s Alpha
What does it measure? How it measures it?

A

It measures Portfolio Managers performance.
Alpha = Rp - SML/CAPM
Rp - ((Rf+Beta p (Rm-Rf))
+Alpha means manager did better than market
-Alpha means manager did worse than market

Q

D’s mutual fund returned 19% last year with Beta 2. Risk free 3%, market return 8%. SD 18%. What would you tell D about the performance? What ratio would you use and why or why not.

A

Can not use Treynor, Sharpe because there is not enough data for comparison assets. Jensen but Jensen is more straight forward.

Q

R^2
When a portfolio is considered diversified
What ratio to use to judge performance

A

> 0.7 means more diversified, Beta, Treynor, Jensen should be used to measure recommendations
If it’s < 0.7, not diversified, SD, Sharpe should be used
