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. The
correlation coefficient between the stock and bond fund is 0.15, the probability distributions of the
securities are shown below. You can use Excel to do this problem.
a. Graph the opportunity set between the stock and bond fund starting with 0% in the stock
fund and increasing it to 100% in increments of 10%. At each weight paring show the
expected return, standard deviation, and Sharpe ratio of the risky portfolio.
b. What is the proportional weight of the risky portfolio in the stock and bond funds which
optimizes the expected Sharpe ratio of the risky portfolio?
c. What is the proportional weight of the risky portfolio in the stock and bond funds which has
the minimum expected variance for the risky portfolio? For this min-variance portfolio what
is the expected return and standard deviation of the risky portfolio?
