8. utdallas.edu /~ metin Page 8 Financial institutions use debt to increase their investment capital. u ProMax has raised $8,000,000 from a private equity fund to invest into four bonds. u The average annual return, the worst-case annual return and the duration of each bond is below: u ProMax wants to maximize the expected return from its bond investments –The worst-case return of bond portfolio must be at least 2%. –To achieve diversification, at most 35% can be invested in a single bond. –ProMax can borrow extra money to invest into bonds 1 & 2 and bonds 3 & 4 »High leverage: Bonds 1 & 2 have relatively high worst-case return. ProMax leverages its high worst- case return investments by a factor of 4. At least 20% (=1/(1+4)) of investments in high return investments must come from ProMax raised funds. The rest, at most 80%, can come from debt. »Low leverage: Bonds 3 & 4 have relatively low worst-case return. ProMax leverages its low worst- case return investments by a factor of 1. At least 50% (=1/(1+1)) of investments in high return investments must come from ProMax raised funds. The rest, at most 50%, can come from debt. »Borrowed money must be returned in a year with 1% interest u Formulate a linear program to maximize the average annual return of a portfolio over a year.
