Question

You plan to invest in the Kish Hedge Fund, which has total capital of $500 million invested in five stocks:

Stock Investment Stock's Beta Coefficient
A $160 million 0.8
B 120 million 1.6
C 80 million 2.2
D 80 million 1.0
E 60 million 1.7

Kish's beta coefficient can be found as a weighted average of its stocks' betas. The risk-free rate is 4%, and you believe the following probability distribution for future market returns is realistic:

Probability Market Return
0.1 -25%
0.2 0
0.4 12
0.2 29
0.1 51
      1. What is the equation for the Security Market Line (SML)? (Hint: First determine the expected market return.) Select one (1) of the answers below.
    1. ri = 2.2% + (10.7%)bi
    2. ri = 4.0% + (9.2%)bi
    3. ri = 2.5% + (10.4%)bi
    4. ri = 4.0% + (10.7%)bi
    5. ri = 2.2% + (9.2%)bi
