Suppose you are a mutual fund manager. You are planning to invest in a portfolio consisting of two stocks. Stock A has an expected return of 9% and a standard deviation of 17%. Stock B has a standard deviation of 38%, and the covariance between Stock B and the market is 0.089. The two stocks have correlation of 25%. Assume that the market earns expected return of 14% and a standard deviation of 22%, and the risk free rate is 2%.
