What is portfolio beta and the required return rate?

A portfolio's beta is the model that measures the stock's return while estimating the market risk.

The required rate of return is the minimal return an investment will take for holding a company's shares in exchange for taking on a certain amount of risk.

The formula for calculating Portfolio's Beta is:

= Sum of (Beta × Weights)

[tex]\mathbf{= (1 \times (\dfrac{2625}{7500})) + (1.50 \times (\dfrac{1500 }{ 7500})) + (1.10 \times (\dfrac{1125 }{ 7500})) + (0.50 \times (\dfrac{2250 }{ 7500}))}[/tex]

= 0.35 + 0.30 + 0.165 + 0.15

= 0.965

Required Return = Risk Free Rate + (Beta × Premium Market Risk)

= 4% + (0.965 × 5.5%)

= 0.04 + (0.965 × 0.055)

= 9.31%
