Explanation:
The Markowitz efficient frontier is the set of possible portfolios that provide the highest return for each level of risk, or the lowest risk for each level of return. To generate an efficient frontier, we need to know the expected returns and standard deviations for each asset, as well as the return correlations for each pair of assets.

Question 30
The efficient frontier is a plot of the expected return and risk combinations of all efficient portfolios, all of which lie along the upper-left portion of the portfolio possibilities curve. Given a set of risky assets, a Markowitz efficient frontier:
A
includes all portfolios that reduce the risk level compared to holding a single asset.
B
consists of the portfolios that provide the lowest risk for every level of expected return.
C
can be calculated from the assets’ expected returns and the correlations of returns for each pair of assets.
D
indicates that the portfolio with the minimum variance is the market portfolio.
