A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a government bond fund and the third is a T-bll money market fund. The expected returns and standard deviations of the funds are: Expected returm Standard deviation 30% 20% 12% Stock fund (S) Bond fund (B) T-bill money market fund The correlation between the stock and bond fund is 0.10 a. What are the stock and bond weights in the minimum variance portfolio? b. What is the expected return and standard deviation of the minimum variance portfolio? c. What are the stock and bond weights in the optimal risky portfolio? d. What is the expected return and standard deviation of the optimal risky portfolio? e. Write down the equation of the capital allocation line (i.e., the line connecting the risk free rate to the optimal risky portfolio) f. If the pension manager has a risk aversion coefficient A-3.5, what fraction of the manager's wealth is it optimal to allocate to the optimal risky portfolio and what fraction will be invested in the risk free asset? g.
