Question: B risk-averse investor is not happy with the risk of the portfolio that you have calculated. He would therefore like to reduce the risk of the portfolio by investing in a risk free government bond that is offering annual return of 5%.
However he is quite happy with slightly lower returns from this investment. You have to advise how much investor should invest in the portfolio (comprising of security A and security B) and the Risk free asset so that the combination of risky portfolio and risk free asset provides 10% return. How much is the risk of this new portfolio?
