The authors determine the sharp radius of convexity for functions analytic in the unit disc having power series representation of the form f(z) = z + an+1zn+1 + an+2zn+2 + … where an+1 is fixed and such that zf′(z)/f(x) = (1 + Aw(z))/(1 + Bw(z)), −1 ≤ B < 0 < A ≤ 1 where w(z) is an analytic function satisfying the conditions of Schwarz's lemma, in the case A + B ≥ 0. The estimate obtained is an improvement over the corresponding result obtained by Mogra and Juneja for functions analytic and starlike in the unit disc, with missing coefficients where the initial non-vanishing coefficient is fixed.
