George Reilly, CFA, manages the Ivy Foundation portfolio. The Ivy
Foundation has a minimum acceptable return of 7%. The current risk-
free rate is 6%. Reilly assumes that returns are normally distributed
and wants to choose the optimal portfolio for the foundation. The best
approach Reilly should take is to choose the portfolio that:
A. maximizes the Sharpe ratio.
B. maximizes the safety-first ratio.
C. minimizes the standard deviation of returns.
