Return and Standard Deviation of the Global Minimum-Variance Portfolio
Question
Over the next year, expected return on the S&P 500 index (proxy for the optimal risky portfolio), the SMB portfolio, and the HML portfolio are 11%, 6%, and 3%; standard deviation of the returns on the S&P 500 is 27%; risk free return is 2%.
To obtain greater diversification for your investments you consider forming a portfolio from two stock index funds, one that tracks the S&P 500 (SPX) and the other is the Schwab International Index Fund (SWISX) that tracks large stocks in markets around the world. Over the next year, the S&P 500 has an expected return of 14% and a standard deviation of return of 30%. The SWISX has an expected return of 18% and a standard deviation of return of 27% (in U.S. $ terms). Assume that the indices have a historic correlation of 0.20 and that is expected to hold in the near future.
What are the expected return and standard deviation of the global minimum-variance portfolio that can be formed from the two indices?

I found it very difficult in keeping up with the assignments with the rest of the class and also had problems with the topics like probability, displaying data etc. Then I found TheReliableTutor.com and all my misery has come to an end. The stats experts here helped me out with all my assignments and since then I have been getting better grades. Thanks a lot….
Evan Nicholas Student
Being a computer science engineer is my dream and it wouldn’t have possible for me to minutely understand the basics of C++ programming without the help of TheReliableTutor.com and the engineering assignment tutors. I grasped C programming on my own, but for C++ and Java, I am definitely grateful to TheReliableTutor.com
Joseph Gordon Student
I took constant help from HwA for mean, median and mode assignments of random variables and I am very happy with the feedback I get from my professor. The statistics experts at HwA are very helpful and they assisted me to get good grades in all my random variable assignments.
Chris Mathew Student
The time and effort given to each individual student by the New Zealand Accounting Assignment writing experts at HwA is what makes me keep coming back to them for all my accounting assignment help requirements. I am a post graduate student of accounting from the University of Otago in Christchurch and with the help of the accounting assignment help experts from New Zealand I have been performing better and better in class.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
