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 Standard Deviation Stock fund (S) 12%, 33% Bond fund (B) 5%, 26% The correlation between the fund returns is 0.11.

Solve numerically for the proportions of each asset and for the expected return and standard deviation of the optimal risky portfolio.
