Briefly explain. (10 marks) (iii) When there is a risk free asset available, will the tangent portfolio of risky assets on the efficient frontier include risky assets on the inefficient frontier? Briefly explain. (10 marks) (b) (1) The expected returns on two distinct risky assets A and B are correlated and a portfolio consisting of A and B has zero variance of expected return. What can be said about the correlation between the expected retums of risky assets A and B?
