Hedge Fund: Return оf the Mаximum Shаrpe Rаtiо Pоrtfolio A hedge fund manager previously identified the portfolio allocation that maximizes the Sharpe Ratio. The manager now asks: “What expected return does this optimal portfolio generate?” Input Value Expected Return of Asset A [assetaret]% Expected Return of Asset B [assetbret]% Risk-Free Rate [rfr]% Variance of Asset A [assetavar] Variance of Asset B [assetbvar] Covariance between Asset A and Asset B [covariance] Question: What is the expected return of the maximum Sharpe ratio portfolio?
