If you wanted to evaluate the Seminole Fund using the M2 measure, what percent of the adjusted portfolio would need to be invested in T-Bills

0.8%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what percent of the adjusted portfolio would need to be invested in T-Bills

Using this formula

M2 =(Rp - Rf) * σ m / σ p - (Rm - Rf)

Whrere,

Rp represent Return on Seminole Fund (14%)

Rf represent Risk free rate of return(6%)

Rm represent Return on Market Portfolio(18%),

σ m represent Standard Deviation of return on market portfolio (22%)

σ p represent Standard Deviation of return on fund (30%)

Let plug in the formula

M2= (18 - 6) * 22 / 30 - (14 - 6)

M2= (12 * 0.73 ) - 8

M2= 8.8 - 8

M2= 0.8%

Therefore the percent of the adjusted portfolio that would need to be invested in T-Bills is 0.8%
