Consider the following information about a risky portfolio that you manage, and a risk-free asset: E(r_P) = 12%, _P = 18%, r_f = 3%.

a.

Your client wants to invest a proportion of her total investment budget in your risky fund to provide an expected rate of return on her overall or complete portfolio equal to 6%. What proportion should she invest in the risky portfolio, P, and what proportion in the risk-free asset? (Round your answer to 2 decimal place. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)

Risky portfolio	%
Risk-free asset	%

b.	What will be the standard deviation of the rate of return on her portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 1 decimal place. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)

c.

Another client wants the highest return possible subject to the constraint that you limit his standard deviation to be no more than 12%. Which client is more risk averse?
