Determine the best course to take for investing.arrow_forwardAn investiment portfolio consists of two securities, X and Y. The weight of X is 30%. Asset X's expected return is 15% and the standard deviation is 28%. Asset Y's expected return is 23% and the standard deviation is 33%. Assume the correlation coefficient between X and Y is 0.37. A. Calcualte the expected return of the portfolio. B. Calculate the standard deviation of the portfolio return. C. Suppose now the investor decides to add some risk free assets into this portfolio.

Investor is free to choose the investment proportions W1 And W2 only to requirment that w1+w2=1 and both w1 and w2 are positive.There is no limit to the number of portfolios that meet thses requirements, since there is no limit to the number of proportions that sum to 1. Therefore a representative selection of values is considered w1: 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1arrow_forward
