This graph visualizes the relationship between risky assets, the market portfolio, the capital market line, and the risk-free asset. Below is a detailed explanation of the elements represented: 该图直观地展示了风险资产、市场投资组合、资本市场线和无风险资产之间的关系。下面是对所代表要素的详细解释:
10 Investment Stocks: The 10 blue dots on the graph represent individual investment stocks, each reflecting an expected rate of return ( mu\mu ) and the associated risk ( sigma\sigma ). 10 种投资股票:图中的 10 个蓝点代表单个投资股票,每个蓝点都反映了预期收益率 ( mu\mu ) 和相关风险 ( sigma\sigma )。
Risk-Free Asset: The pink dot symbolizes a risk-free asset with no risk ( sigma=0\sigma=0 ) and a return of 0.00015(mu=0.00015)0.00015(~ \mu=0.00015). At this point, the portfolio is 100%100 \% allocated to the risk-free asset, indicating a completely risk-free investment. 无风险资产:粉色圆点表示无风险资产,无风险( sigma=0\sigma=0 ),回报率为 0.00015(mu=0.00015)0.00015(~ \mu=0.00015) 。此时,投资组合的 100%100 \% 分配给无风险资产,表明投资完全无风险。
Portfolio (Combining Risky and Risk-Free Assets): The green dot shows a portfolio with both risky and risk-free assets at a specific risk coefficient of t=0.06t=0.06. This portfolio yields a return of mu=0.000894\mu=0.000894 and a risk level of sigma=0.006684\sigma=0.006684. 投资组合(风险资产与无风险资产的组合):绿点显示的是一个包含风险资产和无风险资产的投资组合,具体风险系数为 t=0.06t=0.06 。该投资组合的收益率为 mu=0.000894\mu=0.000894 ,风险水平为 sigma=0.006684\sigma=0.006684 。
Risky-Asset-Only Portfolio: The orange dot reflects a portfolio consisting entirely of risky assets, also at t=0.06t=0.06. This portfolio offers an expected return of mu=0.001139\mu=0.001139 with a risk level of sigma=0.00958\sigma=0.00958. 纯风险资产投资组合:橙色圆点反映的是一个完全由风险资产组成的投资组合,风险水平也是 t=0.06t=0.06 。该投资组合的预期收益为 mu=0.001139\mu=0.001139 ,风险水平为 sigma=0.00958\sigma=0.00958 。
Capital Market Line and Efficient Frontier: The brown line is the Capital Market Line (CML), which is tangent to the red Efficient Frontier at a key point (marked by a star). This point represents the optimal balance between risk and return under current market conditions. 资本市场线和有效边界:棕色线是资本市场线(CML),它与红色的有效前沿相切于一个关键点(用星号标出)。该点代表当前市场条件下风险与收益之间的最佳平衡。
Market Portfolio: The star symbol indicates the market portfolio, with an expected return of mu=0.001179\mu=0.001179 and risk of sigma=0.014744\sigma=0.014744. At this point, the portfolio consists only of risky assets, with no allocation to the risk-free asset. 市场组合:星号表示市场投资组合,预期收益为 mu=0.001179\mu=0.001179 ,风险为 sigma=0.014744\sigma=0.014744 。此时,投资组合中只有风险资产,没有无风险资产。
In summary, this graph helps investors determine optimal portfolio strategies by balancing risk-free and risky assets or focusing solely on risky investments. 总之,该图表可帮助投资者通过平衡无风险资产和风险资产或只关注风险投资来确定最佳投资组合策略。
Additionally, the relationship between the CML and the Efficient Frontier offers insights into maximizing returns for a given level of risk. 此外,CML 与有效前沿之间的关系还有助于深入了解在一定风险水平下如何实现收益最大化。

Beta ( beta\beta ) is a measure of the risk associated with a stock or portfolio relative to the broader market: Beta ( beta\beta ) 是衡量股票或投资组合相对于大盘的相关风险的指标: beta=0\beta=0 : A beta value of 0 indicates a risk-free asset, meaning its returns are not influenced by market fluctuations. Such assets provide a fixed return, unaffected by market changes. beta=0\beta=0 :贝塔值为 0 表示无风险资产,即其收益不受市场波动的影响。这类资产提供固定回报,不受市场变化的影响。 beta=1\beta=1 : Assets or portfolios with a beta of 1 carry the same level of risk as the market. Their performance aligns with the overall market, known as the “market portfolio,” reflecting average risk and return. beta=1\beta=1 :贝塔系数为 1 的资产或投资组合与市场具有相同的风险水平。它们的表现与整体市场一致,被称为 "市场组合",反映了平均风险和回报。 beta > 1\beta>1 : When the beta value is greater than 1 , the asset’s price fluctuations are more volatile than the market. These assets carry higher risk but may also provide higher expected returns. Companies like BHP, MQG, GMG, and FMG exemplify this behavior. beta > 1\beta>1 :当贝塔值大于 1 时,资产的价格波动比市场波动更大。这些资产的风险较高,但也可能提供较高的预期回报。BHP、MQG、GMG 和 FMG 等公司就是这种行为的典型代表。 beta < 1\beta<1 : Assets or portfolios with a beta below 1 are less volatile than the market, suggesting they offer lower risk. While their expected returns might be lower, they tend to be more stable. For example, CSL has a beta value under 1, demonstrating lower price fluctuations compared to the market. beta < 1\beta<1 :贝塔系数低于 1 的资产或投资组合的波动性低于市场,表明它们的风险较低。虽然它们的预期回报可能较低,但往往更加稳定。例如,CSL 的贝塔值低于 1,表明其价格波动低于市场。
Question 6B: 问题 6B:
CSL and MQG display distinct beta values due to the fundamental differences in their business models. CSL, with a beta of 0.569, operates in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector, where the demand for healthcare products and services remains relatively stable, regardless of economic conditions. This defensive nature of the industry results in lower market sensitivity and reduced volatility, which is reflected in CSL’s lower beta. CSL 和 MQG 的贝塔值截然不同,这是因为它们的业务模式存在根本差异。CSL 的贝塔值为 0.569,在制药和生物技术行业开展业务,无论经济状况如何,该行业对医疗保健产品和服务的需求相对稳定。该行业的防御性质导致市场敏感性较低,波动性较小,这也反映在 CSL 较低的贝塔值上。
On the other hand, MQG, with a beta of 1.178, operates within the financial services and investment banking sector. This industry is highly responsive to market cycles, with its performance closely tied to fluctuations in capital markets, investment activities, and economic trends. Consequently, MQG’s business model faces higher volatility and greater sensitivity to market movements, contributing to its higher beta value. 另一方面,MQG 的贝塔系数为 1.178,属于金融服务和投资银行业。该行业对市场周期反应灵敏,其业绩与资本市场、投资活动和经济趋势的波动密切相关。因此,MQG 的业务模式面临较高的波动性,对市场动向更加敏感,从而导致其贝塔值较高。
These beta values align with market expectations: CSL’s lower beta reflects the stability characteristic of defensive industries, while MQG’s higher beta captures the inherent volatility of financial services. This contrast in beta values aligns with financial theory, as it highlights the differing risk profiles across industries and demonstrates how sector-specific factors shape the market behavior of individual companies. 这些贝塔值符合市场预期:CSL 的贝塔值较低,反映了防御性行业的稳定性,而 MQG 的贝塔值较高,反映了金融服务的内在波动性。贝塔值的这种对比符合金融理论,因为它突出了不同行业的不同风险特征,并展示了特定行业的因素是如何影响单个公司的市场行为的。
