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 4.6%. The probability distributions of the risky funds are:

Explanation / Answer

Reward to Volatility Ratio=(Mean portfolio return Risk-free rate)/Standard deviation of portfolio return

Stock Fund=(.16-.046)/.36

=0.316666 or 31.6666%

Bond Fund=(.07-.046)/.36

=.066666 or 6.6666%
