    The answer is 9.12%

    Explanation:

    From the question stated, we calculate for the required return and use it to decide whether you should add the venture capital fund to your portfolio

    Now,

    For the calculation of required return

    Required return = [ (risk free) + (correlation * Volatility venture/Volatility fund) (Expected return - Risk free) ]

    [ 4.00% + (0.20 * 80.00% / 25.00%) * (12.00% - 4.00%) ]

    [ 4.00% + (0.20 * 320%) * (8%) ]

    [4.00% + (0.64) * (8%) ]

    [ 4.00% + 0.0512]

    = 0.0912 = 9.12

    Therefore the required return is = 9.12%
