4. Portfolio beta and weights Aa Aa Gregory is an analyst at a wealth management firm. One of his clients holds a $5,000 portfolio that consists of four stocks. The investment allocation in the portfolio along with the contribution of risk from each stock is given in the following table: Standard Investment Stock Allocation Deviation Beta Atteric Inc. (AI) 35% 0.600 23.00% Arthur Trust Inc. (AT) 20% 1.600 27.00% Li Corp. (LC) 15% 1.100 30.00% Transfer Fuels Co. (TF) 30% 0.500 34.00% Gregory calculated the portfolio's beta as 0.845 and the portfolio's expected return as 12.34%.

The risk-free rate is 6%, and the market risk premium is 7.50% According to Gregory's recommendation, assuming that the market is in equilibrium, how much will the portfolio's required return change? 0.26 percentage points 0.32 percentage points 0.20 percentage points 0.30 percentage points Analysts' estimates on expected returns from equity investments are based on several factors. These estimations also often include subjective and judgmental factors, because different analysts interpret data in different ways.
