Cannot be determined

Explanation:

Data given in the question

For one, the Rate of return = 19%

For one, the Rate of return = 16%

And,

The beta of the first investor = 1.5

The beta of the second investor = 1

So for better selector, we need to take the market rate of return and the risk-free rate of return without these two we are unable to say which one is better selector
