dc.description.abstract | This thesis sets out to find the risk-free asset. In the literature, this concept is often seen as a given and operationalized by government bond yields. This thesis first deconstructs the theoretical concept of the risk-free asset, then evaluates government bonds and gold, wine and corporate bonds as possible alternatives. Then these proxies are tested on their effectiveness in a theoretical model (CAPM) and their functioning in a Markowitz-inspired portfolio. The main finding is that corporate bonds pose as a promising alternative to government bonds as operationalization of the risk-free asset. | en_US |
