Assume that you manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 16% and a standard deviation of 32%. The T-bill rate is 6%. Your risky portfolio includes the following investments in the given proportions: Stock A 28 % Stock B 34 Stock C 38 Your client decides to invest in your risky portfolio a proportion (y) of his total investment budget with the remainder in a T-bill money market fund so that his overall portfolio will have an expected rate of return of 15%. a. What is the proportion y

0.90 or 90%

Explanation:

The risky portfolio gives a return of 16% and the T-bill gives a 6% return.

Assume that proportion y is going into the risky portfolio and x is going into the T-bill.

The expected return for the overall portfolio = 15%

Use simultaneous equation:

x + y = 1

0.16y + 0.06x = 0.15

y = 1 - x

0.16 (1 - x) + 0.06x = 0.15

0.16 - 0.16x + 0.06x = 0.15

-0.1x = 0.15 - 0.16

x = -0.01/0.1

x = 10%

y = 1 - x

= 1 - 10%

= 90%

= 0.90

and whats your questoin

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
