foundation MVO

Schweser Mock 1 AM 9D

could anyone explain why the ongoing nature of foundation leads to no existing risk free asset to borrow/lend at?

many thx!

riskfree asset only truly risk free for a year (standard deviation zero) after first year there deviation > 0.

could you pls explain a bit more ? why only for a year?

my math is terrible…

Simply, a foundation has an indefinite life and there does not exist an asset which they can borrow/lend whose standard deviation of returns is 0 indefinitely. Even 10 year government bonds rates will change overtime.

now i get it…

many thanks!!
