This has to be an excel spreadsheet and a 1-2 word document. Please if you cannot follow instructions do not messages me. I have issues with people not providing web addresses as I have asked.
there has to be 2 documents.
You have been asked by the director of finance to put together a plan to invest in other companies. Your plan will manage a mutual fund with a $20 million portfolio with a beta of 1.50. Assume that the risk-free rate is 4.50%, and the market risk premium is 5.50%. You expect to receive an additional $5 million, which you plan to invest in a number of stocks. After investing the additional funds, you want the fund’s required return to be 13%.
- What must the average beta of the new stocks added to the portfolio be to achieve the desired required rate of return? Attach your Excel file showing your calculations.
- In a Word document, explain the steps you used to arrive at your answers.
- What does your calculated beta mean to UPC?
- Should UPC be concerned about the use of betas in making investment decisions?
