A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term bond fund, and the third is a money market fund that provides a safe return of 4%. The characteristics of the risky funds are as follows: Stock fund (S) Exp. Return Bond fund (B) 0.43 15% O 1.00 0.70 11% The correlation between the fund returns is 0.2. Solve numerically for the Sharpe Ratio of the optimal risky portfolio. 0.66 Std. Deviation 0.85 26% 12%
