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 5.5%. The probability distributions of the risky funds are:


Expected Return Standard Deviation
   Stock fund (S) 16%         45%         
   Bond fund (B) 7%         39%         


The correlation between the fund returns is .0385.
