    Explanation:

    To calculate the required rate of return for the Global Investment Fund it's necessary to use CAPM Model (Capital Asset Pricing Model) which states that relationship between the systematic market risk and the return of an assets.

    The formula is as follows:

    ER = Rf + Bi (ERm-Rf)

    ER Expected Return of Investment

    Rf Risk-Free Rate

    Bi Beta of the Investment

    ERm Expected Return of the Market

    (Erm-Rf) Market Risk Premium

    Calculating the return of each stock with its own beta we can know the expected return of each stock, then we divide the total return of the portfolio by the investment done and then we obtain the required rate of return.
