Question:
1. Suppose that you seek to construct a portfolio with an expected return equal to 18%. What proportions of your wealth should you invest in A and B? What is the standard deviation of such portfolio?
2. In addition to the funds A and B in the previous question, now you decide to include fund C to your portfolio. Its expected return is 10, its variance 0.0625, its correlation with A is 0.1050 and its correlation with B is 0.07. You want to achieve an expected return of 16% on your portfolio, with the minimum possible risk (measured by the standard deviation). Derive analytically (that is, without the help of solver, but trough calculus) the weights of such desired portfolio, and its standard deviation.
