Question - Consider a portfolio with an initial value of $100 that is invested in stocks and bonds using one of the two rebalancing strategies:
-a constant-mix (CM) strategy that invests 60% of the portfolio in stocks
-a constant proportion portfolio insurance (CPPI) strategy that invests in stocks 120% of the difference between the portfolio and the floor value, assumed to be $50.
Suppose stocks increase by $30 in period 1 and further increases by 20% in period 2, while bonds have a 0% return for both periods.
(a) Calculate the stock, bond, and portfolio values under the CM and the CPPI strategies:
(i) at the beginning
(ii) at period 1, before rebalancing
(iii) at period 1, after rebalancing
(iv) at period 2
(b) Using your results from part (a), explain the differences in the portfolio performance under the rebalancing strategies.
