Assume there are only three risky assets in which to invest, A, B and C. The expected return and standard deviation of return of asset A are 0.08 and 0.04, respectively. Similarly, the expected return and standard deviation of return of asset B are 0.1 and 0.05, respectively. Finally, the expected return and standard deviation of return of asset C are 0.07 and 0.02, respectively.
