You
work as a junior portfolio manager with ABC Capital. ABC Capital has
assigned you to a multi-generational client. This family has three
generations with different goals and objectives. The grandparents are in
their 70s. They are more concerned with preserving their wealth than
making any additional money, but still want to earn something. They want
a portfolio that will have no more than a 0.3 beta and provide a
minimum of a 4% income stream for a total return of 6% (income and
growth). The parents are in their 50s. They are still looking to grow
their money, but don’t want to take too much risk either. They are
looking for an expected return of at least 10% and a beta of no more
than 0.7. Lastly, the son is in his 20s. He doesn’t care about risk. He
wants growth. He needs a 15% return.

The investment company provides you with 20 investment choices. You will:

1. Create 3 generational portfolios that address the goals of the clients. Explain the composition of each portfolio.
2. Calculate
   and show the risk/reward metrics including alpha, beta, Sharpe ratio,
   Treynor ratio, standard deviation, and correlation of each portfolio.
3. Support the rationale for the investment selection.

Assume broad market returns are 8% annually and use the current 1-year treasury yield.
