Suppose that you are told that the minimum variance portfolio has an expected return of 5% and a variance of 16. All investors have portfolios that are on the efficient frontier. If investors don’t have access to a risk-free asset, what can you conclude about the returns and variance of any investor’s portfolio?
- The expected return and variance are greater than or equal to 5% and 16 respectively.
- The expected return and variance are less than or equal to 5% and 16 respectively.
- The expected return and variance are strictly greater than 5% and 16 respectively.
d. The expected return and variance are strictly less than 5% and 16 respectively.

Suppose there are three assets: A, B, and C. Asset A’s expected return and standard deviation are 1 percent and 1 percent. Asset B has the same expected return and standard deviation as Asset A. However, the correlation coefficient of Assets A and B is −0
Suppose there are three assets: A, B, and C. Asset A’s expected return and
standard deviation are 1 percent and 1 percent. Asset B has the same expected
return and standard deviation as Asset A. However, the correlation coefficient of
Assets A and B is −0.25. Asset C’s return is independent of the other two assets.
The expected return and standard deviation of Asset C are 0.5 percent and 1
percent.

Consider two assets A and B. Each has the same expected return. Suppose that the variance of the return on A is 49 and the variance of the return on asset B is 100. The returns on the two assets are correlated with a correlation coefficient of .4. If an investor wants to hold a portfolio of the two assets that has the smallest variance of its return, what fraction of the investor’s wealth should be in asset A? How...
