A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term government and corporate bond fund, and the third is a T-bill money market fund that yields a rate of 8%. The probability distribution of the risky funds is as follows:
Expected Return Standard Deviation
Stock fund (S) 20% 30%
Bond fund (B) 12 15
a. The correlation between the fund returns is 0.10. Solve numerically for the proportions of each asset and for the expected return and standard deviation of the optimal risky portfolio. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)
Portfolio invested in stock %
Portfolio invested in the bond %
Expected return %
Standard deviation %
b. Tabulate and draw the investment opportunity set of the two risky funds. Use investment proportions for the stock fund of zero to 100% in increments of 20%.
c. What are the investment proportions in the minimum variance portfolio of the two risky funds and what is the expected value and standard deviation of its rate of return
d. Draw a tangent line from the risk-free rate to the opportunity set. What does your graph show for the expected return and standard deviation of the optimal portfolio?
e. What is the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible capital allocation line (CAL)?
