Consider the exponential utility function U = -exp (-Aw). Assume the risk-free rate is zero and normalize initial wealth to 1, Wo = 1. There are two normally distributed risky assets with expected returns and volatilities (μ₁,0₁) and ((M2, 02), respectively and correlation equal to p. If weights must sum to one, compute the allocations w₁ and W₂ to the risky assets expressed in terms of the respective model parameters (i.e. w = w(A, M₁, 01, M2, 02, p)). Would your answer change if wo = 1,000,000? Explain why or why not. Consider the exponential utility function U = -exp (-Aw).
