Suppose Magellan Fund required each of the 3 assets to have an investment weight of at least 25% with portfolio SD (risk) to be no more than 15%. The approximate investment allocation in Large Cap stocks that would result in such a portfolio is given by: O About 43% About 25% O About 32% O About 53% Refer to the same information on "Data on 3 Assets". Suppose you remove the constraint that investment in all 3 assets must be positive. Let us now allow for negative weights. (Negative investment weights imply short selling - i.e. selling an asset and buying it back later). Suppose you minimize the SD of the portfolio with short selling. In this case, the optimal portfolo implies that you have: O Negative weight in Emerging market stocks O Negative weight in Large Cap stocks O Negative weight in Gold Given the following information on "Data for 3 Assets": ASSET CLASS LARGE CAP STOCKS GOLD EMERGING MARKET STOCKS CORRELATION (LARGE CAP STOCKS & GOLD) EXP.
