Answer:

0.76

Explanation:

So, in this particular question we are given that that there are two assets which are the; [1]. stock fund and [2]. a long-term government and corporate bond fund.

From the question/problem, we have that the Expected ret and the std. dev. for the Stock fund is 18% and 25% respectively. Also, the Expected ret and std. dev. for  Bond fund 11% and 18% respectively.

Thus, the investment proportion in the minimum variance portfolio of the bond fund = 1 - [ ( 18%)² - 0.4 × 25% × 18%) ÷ ( 25%)² + (18%)² - 2 × 0.4 × 25% × 18%. = 1 - [0.0144 ÷ 0.0609 ] = 1 - 0.24 = 0.76.
