Question

You own a stock portfolio invested 30 percent in Stock Q, 14 percent in Stock R, 40 percent in Stock S, and 16 percent in Stock T. The betas for these four stocks are .99, 1.05, 1.45, and 1.90, respectively. What is the portfolio beta

Answer 1

the portfolio beta is 1.33

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the portfolio beta is shown below:

= respective percentage × respective betas

= 0.30 × 0.99 + 0.14 × 1.05 + 0.40 × 1.45 + 0.16 × 1.90

= 0.297 + 0.147 + 0.58 + 0.304

= 1.328

= 1.33

Hence, the portfolio beta is 1.33
