AI Summary
The assignment provides a comprehensive analysis of portfolio management using CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model). The analysis involves the calculation of expected returns, standard deviation, and Sharpe ratio for three stocks: Coca Cola, Exxon Mobil, and Johnson & Johnson. The results show that the equally weighted portfolio has an expected return of 0.65%, standard deviation of 6.31, and Sharpe ratio of 10.30. Regression analysis is also performed to estimate the beta coefficients for each stock, which reveals that Coca Cola and Johnson & Johnson have positive betas, while Exxon Mobil has a negative beta. The results suggest that Exxon Mobil is least affected by market changes. Additionally, the assignment discusses the implementation of CAPM in calculating expected returns for each stock and compares it with the mean return. Finally, an optimal portfolio is constructed, which shows that Coca Cola and Exxon Mobil are not included, while Johnson & Johnson takes up 100% of the portfolio.

None of the above stocks are correlated with the Index Returns.
EQUALLY WEIGHTED PORTFOLIO RISK AND RETURN:
I. Equally Weighted Portfolio Return (Monthly)
= (33.33%*Coca Cola Average Return) + (33.33%*Exxon Mobil Average Return) +
(33.33%*Johnson & Johnson Average Return) – Risk Free Rate
= (33.33%*0.46) + (33.33%*1.22) + (33.33%*1.17) – 0.3%
= 0.95% - 0.3% = 0.65%
II. Equally Weighted Portfolio Standard Deviation (Monthly)
= (33.33%*Coca Cola Standard Deviation) + (33.33%*Exxon Mobil Standard Deviation) +
(33.33%*Johnson & Johnson Standard Deviation)
= (33.33%*7.43) + (33.33%*5.13) + (33.33%*6.37) =6.31

III. Equally Weighted Portfolio Sharpe Ratio (Monthly)

= (0.95 – 0.3)/0.0631

The co-efficient highlighted in yellow represents the Beta for that particular stock.
(a) While Coca Cola Company and Johnson & Johnson has a positive Beta, Exxon Mobile
has a negative Beta. A negative Beta states that the effect of change in market would
impact in opposite direction on the stock.
(b) Stock Coca Cola has the highest Beta and Exxon Mobil has the lowest Beta
(c) Yes the results are surprising especially for Stock Exxon Mobil. It suggests that the
stock in unaffected or least affected by the variation in the stock market.
IMPLEMENTING CAPM:
As per CAPM, R(i) = Rf + Beta (Rm - Rf)
Rf = Risk Free Rate; Rm = Market Rate of Return; Ri = Expected Return from Stock under CAPM
Expected Return Computation (Monthly):
Coca Cola = 0.3 + 0.6 (0.7 - 0.3) = 0.54%
Exxon Mobil = 0.3 + (-0.11) (1.22 - 0.3) = 0.1988%
Johnson & Johnson = 0.3 + 0.49 (1.17 - 0.3) = 0.7263%
