Question
Greta has risk aversion of A = 5 and a 1-year investment horizon. She is pondering two portfolios, the S&P 500 and a hedge fund, as
well as a number of 1-year strategies. (All rates are annual and continuously compounded.) The S&P 500 risk premium is estimated at
7% per year, with a standard deviation of 19%. The hedge fund risk premium is estimated at 11% with a standard deviation of 34%. The
returns on both of these portfolios in any particular year are uncorrelated with its own returns in other years. They are also
uncorrelated with the returns of the other portfolio in other years. The hedge fund claims the correlation coefficient between the
annual return on the S&P 500 and the hedge fund return in the same year is zero, but Greta is not fully convinced by this claim.
What should be Greta's capital allocation?
Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.
