Borrowing and Lending
Recall Figure 7.10 The Efficient Frontier with Multiple Risky Assets
It provides the best risk-return combinations with multiple risky assets
Risk-Free Asset
Only the government can issue default-free
securities
A security is risk-free in real terms only if its price
is indexed and maturity is equal to investors
