View answer resolution

【analysis】

Portfolio Management: Portfolio Risk and Return: Part I

B is incorrect. This is the weighted standard deviations = 0.68 × 0.30 + 0.32 × 0.20 = 0.268.

【Answer to question 2】A

【analysis】

A is correct. With a correlation coefficient of +1.0, no diversification benefits are obtained and the portfolio risk is equal to the weighted average of the risk of the two assets in the portfolio.

B is incorrect. Portfolio risk is less than the weighted average of the risk of the two assets in the portfolio only when the correlation coefficient is smaller than one.

C is incorrect. Portfolio risk can never be greater than the weighted average of the risk of the two assets in the portfolio.
