Question

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 5.2%. The probability distributions of the risky funds are:

  

	Expected Return	Standard Deviation
Stock fund (S)	13%	42%
Bond fund (B)	6%	36%

  

The correlation between the fund returns is .0222.

  

What is the expected return and standard deviation for the minimum-variance portfolio of the two risky funds? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

  

Expected return	%
Standard deviation	%
