An investor currently holds the following portfolio:
Amount
Invested
8,000 shares of Stock A $10,000 Beta = 1.5
15,000 shares of Stock B $20,000 Beta = 0.8
25,000 shares of Stock C $20,000 Beta = 1.2
Calculate the beta for the portfolio.
Total Portfolio value = Value of Stock A + Value of Stock B + Value of Stock C |
=10000+20000+20000 |
=50000 |
Weight of Stock A = Value of Stock A/Total Portfolio Value |
= 10000/50000 |
=0.2 |
Weight of Stock B = Value of Stock B/Total Portfolio Value |
= 20000/50000 |
=0.4 |
Weight of Stock C = Value of Stock C/Total Portfolio Value |
= 20000/50000 |
=0.4 |
Beta of Portfolio = Weight of Stock A*Beta of Stock A+Weight of Stock B*Beta of Stock B+Weight of Stock C*Beta of Stock C |
Beta of Portfolio = 1.5*0.2+0.8*0.4+1.2*0.4 |
Beta of Portfolio = 1.1 |
