Answer:

12.09%.

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the rate of return on the fund

First step is to calculate the beginning year NAV

Beginning year NAV = ($400 million assets - 50 million debt) / 15 million shares

Beginning year NAV = 23.33

Second step is to calculate the ending year NAV

Ending year NAV = ($500 million assets - (500*0.75% expense) - 40 million debt] / 18 million shares

Ending year NAV =[456.25/18 million shares]

Ending year NAV =25.35

Now let calculate the return using this formula

Return = (Ending NAV -beginning NAV + Capital gain + income) / Beginning NAV)

Let plug in the formula

Return = (25.35-23.33+0.30+0.50)/23.33

Return = 12.09%

Therefore the rate of return on the fund is 12.09%

Explanation:

Portfolio variance can be defined as the measurement of risk or dispersion of returns of a set of securities that makes up a portfolio fluctuate over a period of time.

Simply stated, portfolio variance is typically the total returns of the portfolio over a specific period of time.

In order to calculate the portfolio variance, the standard deviations of each security in the portfolio with their respective correlations security pair in the portfolio would be used. Portfolio variance is the square of standard deviation.

A two-asset portfolio with a standard deviation of zero can be formed when the assets have a correlation coefficient equal to negative one (-1) because this defines the efficiency frontier. In Economical portfolio theory, the efficient frontier is a group of optimal portfolios that offers an investor the highest expected return for a specific risk level or offers the lowest risk for a defined level of expected return.

A common risk can be defined as a type of risk that affects the entirety of a business firm or company and as such can't be diversified.

Generally, the optimal risky portfolio can be identified by finding the tangency point of the capital market line and the efficient frontier and the line with the steepest slope that connects the risk free rate to the efficient frontier.
