Assignment Risk and Diversification

Assignment Risk and Diversification



Assume that you are investing in a 401(k) that currently consists only of U.S. Treasury Bills, and that you’ve decided to diversify. Like any investor, you want to maximize your return while minimizing risk. Calculate the arithmetic average, the variance, standard deviation and coefficient of variation for each of the following stocks: 

Year	    Stock A	       Stock B
2007 	8.1% 	7.2%
2006 	2.6% 	-3.4
2005	      -4.3%	       1.0%
2004	      -5.0%	        2.5%
2003	      15.0% 	3.1%
2002	      3.7%	      1.9%

	Stock A	Stock B
Average return 		
Variance 		
Standard Deviation 		
Coefficient of Variation 		

Summarize your findings, and explain why you would choose one stock over the other to add to your 401(k). Include in your summary an explanation of diversification, and a discussion of systematic and unsystematic risk.
