FIN 673 Capital Market Theory Applied Portfolio Management Questions

Learning Goal: I’m working on a finance multi-part question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Part 1

250 word minimum

In your journal, be sure to address the following:

• Summarize capital market theory.
• Compare
  the various estimates of the risk premium from your capital market line
  and your classmates’ capital market lines in the discussion forum.
  Explain what these differences mean relative to the assumption of the
  market portfolio in the Capital Market Theory discussion forum.
• Explain
  why the client (in the discussion forum) does not have to make the
  investment decision with respect to the market portfolio but does have
  to make the decision with respect to the weights of the blended
  portfolio.
• Summarize the relationship between the CML and the Markowitz efficient frontier.

Part 2

No minimum specified just thorough

Capital
market theory is a positive theory in that it hypothesizes how
investors do behave rather than how investors should behave” (Jones
& Jensen, p. 225, 2020). In this discussion, you will explore the
implications of capital market theory on portfolio construction.

A
new client has asked you to determine the portfolio weights for a
blended portfolio of risk-free securities and a diversified equity
portfolio, the optimal portfolio M.

For the purposes of this discussion

• Set the expected rate of return between 10 and 14% for the equity portfolio.
• Assume a standard deviation of 0.20, which approximates the historical standard deviation of the market.
• Assume a risk-free rate of 5%.

In your initial post,

• Create
  a table with data to illustrate nine different blended portfolios,
  ranging from 100% risk free to 100% equity to 200% equity (which assumes
  buying on margin). Include your table in your post. The table should
  include the following:
  • Weight of the risk-free securities and the equity portfolio.
  • The blended portfolio expected returns.
  • The blended portfolio risk.
  • Graph
    the capital market line of your equity and risk-free security
    portfolio. Plot portfolio risk on the x-axis and expected portfolio
    returns on the y-axis. Feel free to use Microsoft Excel to run these
    calculations.

Include your graph in your post, and on your graph, the following:

• Label the optimal market portfolio M.
• Label the 100% bond portfolio B.
• Label the section of the capital market line that involves buying the equity portfolio on margin.

Discuss the following:

• Explain what is meant by the market portfolio.
• Compare
  the equity portfolio you created in Stock-Trak (attached) to the
  assumed optimal portfolio M. Does this 20-security equity portfolio
  approximate the optimal portfolio? Why or why not?
