Consider two risky securities A and B, as well as a risk-free bond. Their average returns and standard deviations are presented in the table below. The correlation between the Securities A and B is 0.3.
Average Return Standard Deviation
Security A 8% 12%
Security B 13% 20%
Risk-free bond 5% 0%
a) What is the average return and standard deviation of an equally-weighted portfolio in A and B?
