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 3.0%. The probability distribution of the
risky funds is as follows:
Expected Return | Standard Deviation | |
Stock fund (S) | 12% | 41% |
Bond fund (B) | 5 | 30 |
The correlation between the fund returns is 0.18.
Solve numerically for the proportions of each asset and for the
expected return and standard deviation of the optimal risky
portfolio
