Q3. Calculate and report the annualized sample mean return and sample standard deviation over the 5 year sample period. In this case you should annualize the mean and standard deviation of the monthly returns by multiplying the monthly mean return by 12 and the monthly standard deviation by the square root of 12. Again label your answers with the Index or portfolio name.
 
Q4. Calculate and report the pairwise correlations for all 15 of the funds. Include labels. (This can all be done in one step using all the monthly returns. Go to Tools/Data Analysis/Correlation and choose all the data. If Data Analysis does not appear under the Tools menu, this means that you must add it in under “Add Ins.” It is called “Analysis Toolpack”. Then you need to copy over the fund labels to replace the generic labels.)
 
Q5. Using the historical annualized mean and standard deviation in number 3, and the pairwise correlation from number 4, graph the investment opportunity set of portfolios combining the Vanguard Short Term Bond index and the Vanguard Small Cap Stock index on an expected return-standard deviation graph like the one on in Figure 6.4 in the text (in this example the relevant opportunity set curve is the one associated with the correlation equal to 0.2). You should be using Excel to make this graph. Note that you will be using historical data on these two portfolios to obtain estimates of expected return, expected standard deviation, and correlation.
 
Q6. Assume that monthly returns on these 15 portfolios are drawn from normal distributions. What is the worst return you’re likely to see in a one year holding period with 95% confidence for each index and actively managed fund?
 
Q7. Although I have not told you what type of actively managed fund portfolio A through E in the spreadsheet are, you should be able to tell with all the statistics you generated. Determine what type of fund (e.g., large cap domestic stocks…) they are and briefly describe how you arrived at your answer. What do you suspect about Portfolio E and how did you arrive at this?
 
Q8. Compare statistics for the Vanguard 500 Index (e.g., using estimates produced for questions above) from other historical periods listed in your text page 138 in Table 5.4. List out all the statistics in Table 5.4 and include estimates from 2011 to 2015. Note that the return on t-bills over this period is effectively 0. Does 2011 to 2015 look like a typical period? Why or why not?
