Portfolio - Two factor model
Dode Cicero owns a portfolio of two securities. On the basis of a two-factor model, the two securities have the following characteristics:
Security Zero 1 Factor 1 Factor 2 Nonfactor Risk Proportion
Factor Sensitivity Sensitivity
A 2% .30 2.0 196 .70
B 3 .50 1.8 100 .30
The factors are uncorrelated. Factor 1 has a expected value of 15% and a standard deviation %20. Factor 2 has an expected value of 4 % and a standard deviation of 5 %. Calculate the expected return and standard deviation of Dode's portfolio.
