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 sure rate of 5.4%. The probability distributions of the risky funds are:
Expected Return Std. Deviation
Stock fund (S) 15% 44%
Bond fund (B) 8% 38%
The correlation between the fund returns is .0684.
