Explanation:
The equation of the CML is
Where:
is the expected portfolio return
is the risk-free rate
is the expected market return
And , are the standard deviations of the market and the portfolio, respectively
Therefore,
Note: Any risk-free asset has a known, certain return (5% in this case). This is the result of its standard deviation being 0. Thus, the covariance of the risk-free asset with any risky asset, including the market portfolio, is zero. With a zero covariance, the correlation between the risky asset and the market portfolio is also zero.
