You currently have all of your £1,000,000 wealth invested in an
aggressive portfolio of UK stocks which has a beta of 1.3. You are
concerned that this is too risky a position. You can also invest
(both long and short) in a defensive UK stock portfolio which has a
beta of exactly 0.3. You wish to re-allocate your wealth so that
some is invested in the aggressive portfolio and the rest in the
defensive portfolio and so that your overall beta is 0.5. What are
your portfolio weights on the aggressive asset and the defensive
asset?
