Question: 2 . A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long - term government

2. 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 5%. The probability distribution of the risky funds is as follows:
Expected Return Stock Fund (S)8%
Bond Fund (B)13%
The correlation between the fund returns is .30.
Standard deviation 12%
20%
(a) First, tabulate (i.e., draw a table) the investment opportunity set using invest- ment proportions for the stock fund of zero to 100% in increments of 20%. Then, draw the investment opportunity set of the two risky funds.
(b) Show all the M-V efficient investment strategies on your graph.
(c) Draw a tangent from the risk-free rate to the opportunity set. What does your graph show approximately for the optimal portfolios expected return and standard deviation?
1
(d) The tangency portfolio yields a return of 11% and a std dev of 14.2%. What are the weights of stock and bond funds in the tangency portfolio?
(e) Calculate the Sharpe Ratio of the CAL that crosses from the tangency line.
(f) You require that your complete portfolio yield an expected return of 17.7%, and that it be efficient.
i. What is the standard deviation of your portfolio?
ii. What is the proportion of your total money invested in the T-bill fund and
each of the risky funds?
