The stock of a Company has a beta of 1.2 has a standard deviation of returns of 25%. The market portfolio is expected to return 12% and the risk-free rate is 2%. If the market portfolio has a standard deviation of 15%, how much of the risk of XYZ stock is market risk and how much is non-market risk?
Given
Beta of XYZ = 1.2
standard deviation = 25% = 0.25
return on market portfolio = 12% = 0.12
risk-free rate of return = 2% = 0.02
standard deviation of market portfolio = 15% = 0.15
market risk of XYZ = (Beta of XYZ)2 * (standard deviation of market portfolio)2 = (1.2)2 * (15)2 = 324
Total risk of XYZ = (standard deviation of returns of XYZ)2 = (25)2 = 625
Non-market risk = total risk of XYZ - market risk of XYZ = 625 - 324 = 301
market risk is ((324/625)*100) % of total risk = 51.84%
non-market risk is( (301/625)*100)% of total risk = 48.16%
