You manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 18% and a standard deviation of 31%. The T-bill rate is 4%.
Suppose that your client prefers to invest in your fund a proportion y that maximizes the expected return on the complete portfolio subject to the constraint that the complete portfolio’s standard deviation will not exceed 18%.
a. What is the investment proportion, y? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
b. What is the expected rate of return on the complete portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
