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 4.4%. The probability distributions of the risky funds are:

	Expected Return	Standard Deviation
Stock fund (S)	14	%	34	%
Bond fund (B)	5	%	28	%

The correlation between the fund returns is .0214.

Suppose now that your portfolio must yield an expected return of 13% and be efficient, that is, on the best feasible CAL.
