0.396570234 (this is a CONSTRAINT for "Solver", this cell B23 must be forced to equal one)
(it is the constraint that the total proportions of our wealth must equal one)

Now use "solver" to either minimize the risk for a given return
(ie minimize B37 for a prescribed value of B35) or
maximize return for a given risk (ie, maximize B35 for a given
value of B37).
In both cases B23 should be constrained to equal 1, this is the
