Given the covariance matrix from weekly historical data and assuming a risk-free rate of 3%, describe how you would invest in your stocks and a risk-free asset to get:
A. The minimum variance portfolio.
B. The mean-variance efficient portfolio (unconstrained).
C. The mean-variance efficient portfolio with no short selling and with maximum 50% margined positions. (This is effectively a constraint on the weights in each stock.)
The return of each is given in the picture
