Your team manages a family office for a Singaporean client who has S$1 million in investible wealth. After reviewing the client's investment policy statement, your team gathers that he would like a diversified portfolio that is long-only in Singapore equities.

In addition, that portfolio should yield an average real return of 6% per year and will only accept a 5% probability of losses that are more than $100,000 in any given year. The long-term annual inflation rate in Singapore is 2.5%.

If needed, you may submit your supplementary computations in an Excel file, using a separate tab for each question. Price data can be extracted from Yahoo! Finance and industry classifications (Global Industry Classification Standard) can be obtained from Thomson Reuters Eikon.
