You are a portfolio analyst determining an optimal active portfolio management strategy for your Portfolio Manager. You are required to construct an appropriately weighted active portfolio and allocate between this active portfolio and the market portfolio. You will then determine whether the Carhart 4-factor model significantly increases the explanatory power of your active portfolio’s returns in comparison to the SIM. Finally, you will prepare a 3-minute presentation video to your Portfolio Manager, where you will present an analysis and comparison of your results. I have the model but I need help with the presentation.

A portfolio manager summarizes the input from the macro and micro forecasts in the following table: Micro Forecasts Asset Expected Return (%) Beta Residual Standard Deviation (%) Stock A 22 1.50 40 Stock B 20 2.00 60 Macro Forecasts Asset Expected Return (%) Standard Deviation (%) T-bills 7 0 Passive Equity Portfolio (m) 16 25 a. Calculate expected excess returns, alpha values, and residual variances for these stocks. Instruction: Enter your answer as a percentage (rounded to two decimal places) for expected excess returns and alpha values. Expected excess return on stock A: % Expected excess return on stock B: % Alpha of stock A: % Alpha of stock B: % Instruction: Enter your answer as a decimal number rounded to two decimal places for residual variances. Residual variance of stock A: Residual variance of stock B: Instruction: For part b, enter your response as a decimal number rounded to four decimal places. b. Suppose that the portfolio manager follows the Treynor-Black model and constructs an active portfolio (p) that consists of the above two stocks. The alpha of the active portfolio (p) is -18%, and its residual standard deviation is 150%. What is the Sharpe ratio for the optimal portfolio (consisting of the passive equity portfolio and the active portfolio (p))? What's the M2 of the optimal portfolio?

Portfolio returns. The Capital Asset Pricing Model is a financial model that assumes returns on a portfolio are normally distributed. Suppose a portfolio has an average annual return of 17.4% (i.e. an average gain of 17.4%) with a standard deviation of 39%. A return of 0% means the value of the portfolio doesn't change, a negative return means that the portfolio loses money, and a positive return means that the portfolio gains money. Round all answers to 4 decimal places. a. What percent of years does this portfolio lose money, i.e. have a return less than 0%? % b. What is the cutoff for the highest 17% of annual returns with this portfolio? %

Portfolio A is a well-diversified portfolio that is equally-weighted among 12,000 different and diverse stocks. Portfolio A has an average amount of systematic risk, so it has exactly the same amount of systematic risk as the market portfolio. Portfolio B consists of 2 stocks that operate in the active leisure industry: 2,373 shares of Treetop Entertainment stock, which has a price of $10.40 per share and a beta of 2.50; and 1,502 shares of Garfield Recreational stock, which has a price of $5.10 per share and a beta of 0.80. All stocks have some unsystematic risk and all stocks have the same level of unsystematic risk. Which one of the following assertions is most likely to be true? Portfolio B has more systematic risk than portfolio A, and portfolio B has more unsystematic risk than portfolio A Portfolio A has more systematic risk than portfolio B, and portfolio B has more unsystematic risk than portfolio A Portfolio B has more systematic risk than portfolio A, and portfolio A has more unsystematic risk than portfolio B Portfolio A has more systematic risk than portfolio B, and portfolio A more unsystematic risk than portfolio B Portfolio A either has the same amount of systematic risk as portfolio B or portfolio A has the same amount of unsystematic risk as portfolio B, or portfolio A has the same amount of systematic risk and unsystematic risk as portfolio B
