A client holding a £2,000,000 portfolio wants to withdraw £90,000 in one year without invading the principal. According to Roy’s safety-first criterion, which of the following portfolio allocations is optimal?
选项:
A. Allocation A
B. Allocation B
C. Allocation C

To compute the allocation that is safety-first optimal, select the alternative with the highest ratio:
