    The required rate of return for the Global Investment Fund is 12.37%.

    Explanation:

    The value of the portfolio is calculated as: Investment in A's value + Investment in B's value + Investment in C's value + Investment in D's value = 200,000 + 300,000 + 500,000 + 1,000,000 = 2,000,000.

    Weighted of each investment is:

    Stock A = 200,000/2,000,000 = 10%; Stock B = 300,000/2,000,000 = 15%; Stock C = 500,000/2,000,000 = 25% and Stock D = 1,000,000/2,000,000 = 50%.

    => Beta of the portfolio = Beta of A x 10% + Beta of B x 15% + Beta of C x 25% + beta of D x 50% = 2 x 10% + - 0.6 x 15% + 1.2 x 25% + 1 x 50% = 0.91

    Apply the CAPM model to find the required rate of return of Global Investment Fund:

    ERi = Rf + (ERM - Rf) x beta of the portfolio ERi = 6% + (13%-6%) x 0.91 = 12.37%.
