Weights Required in the portfolio from SPX and the SWISX
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.
If you wish to obtain an expected return of 15.5% on a portfolio formed with the two indices, what are the weights in the SPX and the SWISX that would be required to be in the portfolio?
Summary: This question belongs to financial management and discuses about weights in the SPX and the SWISX that would be required to be in the portfolio.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
Excel formulas get me confused at the very basic level and to say that I was in deep waters with using Excel Solver in my math assignments would be an understatement. Thanks to the Excel Solver assignment help experts at HwA, I am now much more confident and my grades have improved.

My My dream of becoming a corporate cost accountant was hindered when I stumbled into the maze of the statements of financial position. However, the accounting assignment help experts at TheReliableTutor.com helped me go through the rough patch and now while I am pursuing my Masters also, I rely on them and only them.
Alexandra Metaxas Student
The management case study was based on a factory in Napier, which I am sure no US based or UK based assignment experts could have solved. I searched online for management assignment experts from New Zealand but was not being able to narrow down on one. Luckily, then I bumped into TheReliableTutor and found out that the management assignment experts are actually from New Zealand. The case study went well and so did the other management assignment solutions, for which I took help from them again.

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
