The students should understand not merely that a particular point on a diagram represents something but why it does and why an investor may choose to prefer that po
10、int as opposed to other possibilities.An individual investors choice between different portfolios will depend on personal preference (utility theory). The portfolio with the maximum utility is the one at the point of tangency of the opportunity set with the highest indifference curve. A risk averse
11、investor will choose a portfolio which is at a point of tangency between his indifference curve and the efficient frontier.QUESTION 2When risk-free assets do not exist, the optimal portfolio selection will be found on the efficient frontier.With the introduction of a risk-free asset, we get a new ef
12、ficient frontier which is drawn as the Capital Market Line (CML), with all points (except point M) on the “old” efficient frontier now dominated by points on the “new“ frontier.QUESTION 3CAPM attempts to provide a means of understanding the relationship between expected return and systematic or non-
13、diversifiable or unavoidable risk and evaluation of securities in the following context. In market equilibrium, a security is expected to provide a return commensurate with its unavoidable risk. Put simply, the greater the unavoidable risk of a security, the greater the return that investors will ex
