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 was really stuck with the concept of pointer variables in FORTRAN programming when I came across HwA. The experts here know how to approach a particular programming assignment and have helped me get through my course with good grades.

I was really stuck with a case analysis involving a 40 years old male adult with peptic ulcer when I came across HwA. Since then I regularly seek help as the solutions they provide are accurate and impeccable.
Barbara Prater Student
I never faced any problem with marketing management or finance. But with location strategy, I always suffered with the PERT and CRM based problems. I was unable to understand the concept of location strategies. When I came across HwA, I was relieved as they helped me overcome the horrors of location strategy and transformed my fear into a genuine interest.

I was totally unaware of what exactly needed to be written in the marketing plan assignment, based on the . I needed to first get an approval from my professor about the hypothetical business and a region where it needs to be promoted. When I approached TheReliableTutor I got relieved as they provided me with certain alternatives, as they are well aware of the regions of Singapore and assured me that their marketing assignment experts can care of anything my professor approves. It is needless to say that I got an A+ in the marketing plan assignment and many other assignments going forward.

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
