Hello , I got this question wrong because i used the expected value and standard deviation of the minimum variance portfolio. I don't understand how they are getting the tangency portfolio from this. Would someone be able to explain to me why they are using the Tangency portfolio? and how am i supposed to find the tangency portfolio , i dont understand what they quite mean by tangency portfolio. Appreciated!
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 sure rate of 5.6%. The probability distributions of the risky funds are Expected Return Standard Deviation Stock fund (S) Bond fund (B) 17% 8% 46% 40% The correlation between the fund returns is.0600 What is the reward-to-volatility ratio of the best feasible CAL? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.) 02519 t 0.001 Reward-to-volatility ratio Explanation The parameters of the opportunity set are E(rs) : 17%.
