Portfolio management is the act of building and maintaining an appropriate investment mix for a given risk tolerance. The key factors for any portfolio management strategy involve asset allocation, diversification, and rebalancing rules. Active portfolio management seeks to “beat the market” through identifying undervalued assets, often through shortterm trades and market timing. Passive (indexed) portfolio management seeks to replicate the broader market while keeping costs and fees to a minimum.

1 INTRODUCTION
A What is a portfolio?
B What is portfolio management
C What is portfolio’s asset classes
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh
Non-publicly tradable securities like real estate, art, and privateinvestments can also be included in a portfolio
Asset allocation, risk tolerance, andthe individual's time horizon are all
critical factors when assembling and
adjusting an investment portfolio

Portfolio management is the act of building and maintaining an
appropriate investment mix fora given risk tolerance
The key factors for any portfolio management strategy involve
asset allocation, diversification, and rebalancing rules.
Active portfolio management seeks to “beat the market”
through identifying undervalued assets, often through short-term

C WHAT IS PORTFOLIO’S ASSET CLASSES
An asset class is a grouping of investments that exhibit similarcharacteristics and are subject to the same laws and regulations
Equities (stocks), fixed income (bonds), cash and cashequivalents, real estate, commodities, futures, and other financialderivatives are examples of asset classes
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh

There is usually very little correlation,and in some cases a negativecorrelation, between different assetclasses
Financial advisers focus on asset class
as a way to help investors diversifytheir portfolio
2 THE PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT PROCESS
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh

The unified presentation of portfolio management as a
process represented an important advance in the
investment management literature.
Portfolio management is a process – an integrated set of
activities that combine in a logical, orderly manner to
produce a desired product.

Planning: Establishing all the elements necessary for
decision making (data about clients/capital markets)
Execution: Details of optimal asset allocation and security
selection

Trang 4CFA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The investor’s objectives are his investment goals, expressed in
terms of both risk and returns Investment managers must
assess the level of risk that investors can tolerate in pursuit of
higher returns (risk–return trade-off)
Risk tolerance:
A function of an individual’s psychological makeup
Also affected by other factors, such as a person’s current insurance
coverage, cash reserves, family situation, and age
Influenced by one’s current net worth and income expectations
Return objectives
May be stated in terms of an absolute or a relative percentage return or a
general goal, such as capital preservation, current income, capital
appreciation, or total return
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh
The return needs to be no less than the rate of inflation
Is an appropriate objective for investors who want the portfolio
to grow in real terms over time to meet some future need
Under this strategy, growth mainly occurs through capital gains
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh
17
CFA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
Investors want to generate income rather than capital gains
Retirees may favor this objective for part of their portfolio to
help generate spendable funds
Investors want the portfolio to grow over time to meet a future
Assume that he holds a steady job, is a valued employee, has adequate insurance coverage, and has enough money in the bank to provide a cash reserve
Assume that his current long-term, high-priority investment goal is to build a retirement fund
He can select a strategy carrying moderate to high amounts of risk because the income stream from his job will probably grow over time
Further, given young age and income growth potential, a total return or capital appreciationobjective is appropriate
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh
19
Trang 5CFA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
Here’s a possible objective statement:
Invest funds in a variety of moderate- to higher-risk investments
The average risk of the equity portfolio should exceed that of a
broad stock market index, such as the NYSE stock index Foreign
and domestic equity exposure should range from 80 percent to 95
percent of the total portfolio Remaining funds should be invested
in short- and intermediate-term notes and bonds.
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
Assume that she has adequate insurance coverage and a cashreserve Let’s also assume she is retiring this year
Depending on her income from social security and a pensionplan, she may need some current income from her retirementportfolio to meet living expenses She also needs protectionagainst inflation
A risk-averse investor will choose a combination of current income and capital preservationstrategies
A more risk-tolerant investor will choose a combination of
current income and total returnin an attempt to have principalgrowthoutpaceinflation
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh
21
CFA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
Here’s an example of such an objective statement:
Invest in stock and bond investments to meet income needs (from
bond income and stock dividends) and to provide for real growth
(from equities) Fixed-income securities should comprise 55–65
percent of the total portfolio; of this, 5–15 percent should be
invested in short-term securities for extra liquidity and safety The
remaining 35–45 percent of the portfolio should be invested in
high-quality stocks whose risk is similar to the S&P 500 index.
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh
22
SMART GOALS
HOW TO MAKE YOUR GOALS ACHIEVABLE
SMART is an acronym that you can use to guide your goal setting To make sure your goals are clear and reachable, each one should be:
Specific (simple, sensible, significant).
Measurable (meaningful, motivating).
Achievable (agreed, attainable).
Relevant (reasonable, realistic and resourced, results-based).
Time bound (time-based, time limited, time/cost limited,
timely, time-sensitive)

CFA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS
INVESTMENT CONSTRAINTS
Investment planning is complicated by taxes that can seriously
become overwhelming if international investments are part of
the portfolio
Taxable income from interest, dividends, or rents is taxable at
the investor’s marginal tax rate
A note regarding taxes:
The impact of taxes on investment strategy and final results is
clearly very significant
Consult a tax accountant for advice regarding tax regulations
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh
26
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh

Trang 7CFA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS
INVESTMENT CONSTRAINTS
The investment process and the financial markets are
highly regulated and subject to numerous laws
Regulations can constrain the investment choices available
to someone in a fiduciary role
A fiduciary, or trustee, supervises an investment portfolio
of a third party, such as a trust account or discretionary
Unique Needs and Preferences
Covers the unique concerns of each investor
Because each investor is unique, the implications of this final constraint differ for each person
Each individual must decide on and then communicate these specific needs and preferences in their policy statement
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh
29
B THE NEED FOR
AN INVESTMENT POLICY STATEMENT
Components of an Investment Policy Statement (IPS)
1 Brief client description
2 Purpose of establishing policies and guidelines
3 Duties and investment responsibilities of parties involved
4 Statement of investment goals, objectives, and constraints
5 Schedule for review of investment performance and the investment
policy statement
6 Performance measures and benchmarks
7 Any considerations in developing strategic asset allocation
8 Investment strategies and investment styles
9 Guidelines for rebalancing
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh
30
THE NEED FOR
AN INVESTMENT POLICY STATEMENT
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh
31
Important reasons for constructing an IPS:
It helps the investor decide on realistic investment goals after learning about the financial markets and the risks of investing
It creates a standard by which to judge the performance
of the portfolio manager
Protects the client against a portfolio manager’s inappropriate investments or unethical behavior
The first step before beginning any investment program is to construct a comprehensive IPS
Trang 8C THE IMPORTANCE OF ASSET ALLOCATION
Four decisions involved in constructing an investment strategy:
What asset classes should be considered for investment?
What policy weights should be assigned to each eligible asset
The asset allocation decision involves the first three points
How important is the asset allocation decision to an
investor? In a word, VERY

Accumulation phase
Early to middle years of working career
Long investment time horizon and future earning ability
Individuals typically willing to make relatively high-risk investments
in the hopes of making above-average nominal returns over time
Consolidation phase
Past midpoint of careers
Earnings greater than expenses
Typical investment horizon for this phase is still long (20 to 30
years), so moderately high-risk investmentsare attractive
Individuals in this phase are concerned about capital preservation and
do not want to take abnormally high risks
OVERVIEW
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh
38
Spending phase
Begins after retirement
Living expenses are covered by social security income and income from prior investments, including employer pension plans
The overall portfolio may be less risky than in the consolidation phase, but investors still need some risky growth investments, such as common stocks, for inflation protection
Gifting phase
May be concurrent with the spending phase
Excess assets can be used to provide financial assistance to relatives
or to establish charitable trusts as an estate planning tool to minimize estate taxes

How you feel about risking your money will drive many ofyour investment decisions
The risk-comfort scale extends from very conservative (you
don’t want to risk losing a penny regardless of how little your
money earns) to very aggressive (you’re willing to risk much
of your money for the possibility that it will growtremendously)
As you might guess, most investors’ tolerance for risk fallssomewhere in between

4 You’re planning a vacation trip and can either lock in a fixed room-and-meals rate of $150 per day or book standby and pay anywhere from $100
to $300 per day You:
(a) take the fixed-rate deal(b) talk to people who have been there about the availability of last-minute accommodations, (c) book standby and also arrange vacation insurance because you’re leery of the tour operator,
(d) take your chances with standby

5 The owner of your apartment building is converting the
units to condominiums You can buy your unit for $75,000
or an option on a unit for $15,000 (Units have recently sold
for close to $100,000, and prices seem to be going up.) For
financing, you’ll have to borrow the down payment and pay
mortgage and condo fees higher than your present rent You:
(a) buy your unit,
(b) buy your unit and look for another to buy,
(c) sell the option and arrange to rent the unit yourself,
(d) sell the option and move out because you think the
conversion will attract couples with small children.

In statistics, there are two basic concepts that must be
understood before we discuss the formula for the
variance of the rate of return for a portfolio.
The covariance of a variable with itself:
Note: when applying to sample data, we divide the values by
(n – 1) rather than by n to avoid statistical bias.

CORRELATION
The correlation coefficient is obtained by standardizing
(dividing) the covariance by the product of the individual
Note: when sample data is used, σis divided by (n – 1) to
avoid statistical bias
CORRELATION
The coefficient can vary only in the range +1 to −1
A value of +1 would indicate perfectly positive correlation
This means that returns for the two assets move together in a positively and completely linear manner
A value of −1 would indicate perfectly negative correlation
This means that the returns for two assets move together in a completely linear manner, but in opposite directions

EQUAL RISK AND RETURN—CHANGING CORRELATIONS
Summary:
The expected return of the portfolio does not change because it is simply the weighted average of the individual expected returns
Demonstrates the concept of diversification, whereby the risk of the
portfolio is lower than the risk of either of the assets held in the portfolio
Risk reduction benefit occurs to some degree any time the assets combined in a portfolio are not perfectly positively correlated (that
is, whenever ρ i,j< +1)
Diversification works because there will be investment periods when
a negative return to one asset will be offset by a positive return to the other, thereby reducing the variability of the overall portfolio return
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh
80
Trang 27PORTFOLIOS OF TWO RISKY ASSETS
EQUAL RISK AND RETURN—CHANGING CORRELATIONS
When ρ12equals -1.00:
The negative covariance term exactly offsets the individual
variance terms, leaving an overall standard deviation of the
portfolio of zero
This would be a risk-free portfolio, meaning that the average
combined return for the two securities over time would be a
constant value (that is, have no variability)
Thus, a pair of completely negatively correlated assets provides
the maximum benefits of diversification by completely
eliminating variability from the portfolio
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh
81
PORTFOLIOS OF TWO RISKY ASSETS
EQUAL RISK AND RETURN—CHANGING CORRELATIONS
The minimum variance portfolio is the portfolio composed
of risky assets with smallest standard deviation
Risk reduction depends on the correlation:
If r = +1.0, no risk reduction is possible
If r = 0, σPmay be less than the standard deviation of either component asset
If r = -1.0, a riskless hedge is possible

COMBINING STOCKS WITH DIFFERENT RETURNS AND RISK
The expected return of the portfolio does not change
because it is simply the weighted average of the
individual expected returns (the investment weights are
always equal at 0.50 each)
With perfect negative correlation, the portfolio standard
deviation is not zero This is because the different
examples have equal weights, but the asset standard
deviations are not equal

PORTFOLIOS OF TWO RISKY ASSETS
CONSTANT CORRELATION WITH CHANGING WEIGHTS
If the weights of the two assets are changed while
holding the correlation coefficient constant, a set of
combinations is derived that trace an ellipse.
We call ellipse the portfolio opportunity set because it
shows all combinations of portfolio expected return and
standard deviation that can be constructed from the two
available assets.
The benefits of diversification are critically dependent
on the correlation between assets

The results presented earlier for the two-asset portfolio
can be extended to a portfolio of n assets
As more assets are added to the portfolio, more risk will
be reduced (everything else being the same)
The general computing procedure is still the same, but
the amount of computation has increase rapidly
For the three-asset portfolio, the computation has
doubled in comparison with the two-asset portfolio

Trang 301 ASSUMPTIONS
Investors want to maximize the returns from the total set
of investments for a given level of risk
The portfolio should include all of assets and liabilities,
not only marketable securities but also car, house, and less
marketable investments such as coins, stamps, art,
antiques, and furniture
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh
Investors maximize one-period expected utility, and their utility curves demonstrate diminishing marginal utility of wealth
Investors estimate the risk of the portfolio on the basis of the variability of potential returns
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh
98
1 ASSUMPTIONS
Markowitz’s assumptions (2/2)
Investors base decisions solely on expected return and risk, so
their utility curves are a function of expected return and the
variance (or standard deviation) of returns only
For a given risk level, investors prefer higher returns to lower
returns Similarly, for a given level of expected return, investors
prefer less risk to more risk
Using these assumptions, a single asset or portfolio of assets is
considered to be efficient if no other asset or portfolio of assets
offers higher expected return with the same (or lower) risk or
lower risk with the same (or higher) expected return

B ESTIMATING RISK AVERSION
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh

Decreases with risk
Each portfolio receives a utility score to assess the
investor’s risk/return trade off
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh
Utility function: is an important concept that measures
preferences over a set of goods and services Utility represents the satisfaction that consumers receive for choosing and consuming a product or service.
U = Utility
E(r) = Expected return on the asset or portfolio
A = Coefficient of risk aversion

Utility Score of Portfolio M [E(r) = 0.09; σ = 0.10]
Utility Score of Portfolio H [E(r) = 0.13; σ = 0.20]
We can interpret the utility score of risky portfolios as a
certainty equivalent rate of return The certainty
equivalent is the rate that a risk-free investment would need to offer to provide the same utility score as the risky portfolio

It’s possible to create a complete portfolio by splitting investment funds between safe assets (e.g.
Treasury bills) and risky (e.g stocks, bonds) assets
A complete portfolio consists of a risky portfolio and risk-free asset Let:

Capital allocation line (CAL) depicts all the risk– return
combinations available to investors
The slope of the CAL, denoted by S, equals the increase in the expected return of the complete portfolio per unit of additional standard deviation – in other words, incremental return per
incremental risk The slope, the reward-to-volatility ratio, is
usually called the Sharpe ratio

CAPITAL ALLOCATION LINE (CAL)
TS Nguyễn Duy Linh
122
CAL is the primary result of the capital market theory: Investors
who allocate their money between a riskless security and the risky
portfolio P can expect a return equal to the risk-free rate plus
compensation for the number of risk units (σ c ) they accept.
When the risky portfolio P is the market portfolio (M) – contains
all risky assets held anywhere in the marketplaceand receives the
highest level of expected return (in excess of the risk-free rate)
per unit of risk for any available portfolio of risky assets, CAL
becomes thecapital market line (CML)

CONCEPT CHECK
Can the Sharpe (reward-to-volatility) ratio, S = [E(r C ) − r f ]/σ C , of any combination of the risky asset and the risk-free asset be different from the ratio for the risky asset taken alone, [E(r P ) −
r f ]/σ P , which, in this case, is 0.36?
In the expected return–standard deviation plane all portfolios that are constructed from the same risky and risk-free funds (with various proportions) lie on a line from the risk-free rate through the risky fund
The slope of the CAL is the same everywhere; hence the to-volatility (Sharpe) ratio is the same for all of these portfolios

CONCEPT CHECK
Formally, if you invest a proportion, y, in a risky fund with
expected return E(rP) and standard deviation σP, and the
remainder, 1 − y, in a risk-free asset with a sure rate rf, then the
portfolio’s expected return and standard deviation are:
and therefore the Sharpe ratio of this portfolio is:
which is independent of the proportion y

Suppose that expectations about the U.S equity market and the

greater proportion is invested in T-bills today than in 2016 What
can you conclude about the change in risk tolerance over the years
since 2016?
If all the investment parameters remain unchanged, the only reason
for an investor to decrease the investment proportion in the risky
asset isan increase in the degree of risk aversion If you think that
this is unlikely, then you have to reconsider your faith in your

the optimal risky portfolio Perhaps investors expect a higher real

B FIND THE OPTIMAL RISKY PORTFOLIO
When choosing their capital allocation between risky and
risk-free portfolios, investors naturally will want to work with the
risky portfolio that offers the highest reward-to-volatility or
Sharpe ratio.
The higher the Sharpe ratio, the greater the expected return
corresponding to any level of volatility
Another way to put this is that the best risky portfolio is the one
that results in the steepest capital allocation line (CAL).
Steeper CALs provide higher excess returns for any level of
