Your forecasts of the standard deviations of the rate of return are 0.25 for HVFF and 0.20 for M. How would you combine the HVMF and a risk free security to obtain a portfolio with a beta of 1.6? Suppose that rf = 0.10 and E[rm ]= 0.15. If you were willing to tolerate the same risk as in the above portfolio, how much additional return could you obtain if your portfolio were efficient?
