of risk
A good portfolio is
not simply a collection of individually good investments
The relationship among the returns for all full spectrum
of investments in the portfolio is important

portfolio theory, are most
investors with a large investment
portfolio averse or

averse regarding all financial
commitments
There is the combination
of risk preference and
risk aversionPeople like to gamble with negative expected returns but buy insurance to protect themselves against large losses Because of choice or
unaffordable insurance

Portfolio
Theory

Trang 11The Markowitz model is based on several
assumptions regarding investor behavior
Investors maximize
one-period expected utility &
their utility curves demonstrate the
diminishing marginal
utility of wealth.
For a given risk level, investors prefer higher returns to lower returns and vice versa.
Utility curves are a function
of expected return and the expected variance (or standard deviation) of
Investors estimate the risk
of the portfolio on the basis
of the variability of expected returns.

Trang 13Alternative Measures of Risk
Trang 14A measure that only considers deviations below the mean is the
specific asset (T-bills, the rate of inflation, or a benchmark)
An extension of the semivariance
measure only computes
Trang 15We will use the variance or standard deviation of returns because
This measure is somewhat
intuitive
It is a correct and widely recognized risk measure
It has been used in most of the
theoretical asset pricing models.
Trang 16Alternative
Return
Trang 18The expected rate of return
for a portfolio of investments is simply the weighted average of the expected rates of return
for the individual investments in the portfolio
The weights are the proportion of total value
for the individual investment.
Trang 19We can generalize this computation of the expected return for the portfolio E(Rport) as follows:

Investment

Trang 21The variance, or standard deviation, is a measure of the variation of possible rates of return Ri from the expected rate of return E(Ri) as follows:

Trang 23Measure the degree to which two variables move together relative to their individual mean values over time
Trang 24rij = the correlation coefficient
Trang 25-1<= rij <= 1
● (+1): a perfect positive linear relationship
● (-1): a perfect negative linear relationship
● 0: the returns had no linear relationship

Trang 27Markowitz derived the general formula for the standard deviation of a portfolio as follows:
Trang 29The standard deviation
for a portfolio of assets
consists of not only the
variances of the individual assets but
covariances between all
the pairs of individual
assets in the portfolio
large number of securities , this formula reduces to the sum of
the weighted covariances
Trang 30Impact of a New Security in a
of this new asset and the returns of every other asset that is already in the portfolio
Trang 31The important factor to consider when adding an investment to a portfolio that contains other investments is not the new security’s own variance but
the average covariance of this asset with all other investments in the
portfolio
The relative weight of
these many covariances is
far bigger than the asset's
individual variance

Trang 33Equal Risk and Return—
Changing Correlations
The only value that changes is the correlation between the returns for the two assets
Trang 36When we eventually reach the combination of perfect negative correlation, risk is eliminated.
Combining assets that are not perfectly correlated (correlation 1) does not affect the expected return of the portfolio, but it does reduce the risk of the portfolio (as
measured by its standard deviation)
1st case, case a), where the returns for the two assets are perfectly positively correlated (correlation equals 1), the standard deviation for the portfolio is, in fact, the weighted
average of the individual standard deviations:
0.2 x 0.5 + 0.2 x 0.5 = 0.2 - There is no diversification
Trang 37This would be a
Trang 38The returns for the portfolio are
constant because perfect negative
correlation yields a mean
combined return for the two
securities over time that is equal
to the mean for each of them.
There is no fluctuation in the portfolio's total returns, which means there is no risk, because any returns that are above or below the mean for any one of the assets are entirely offset by the return on the other asset.
Thus, the correlation coefficient is the engine that drives the
whole theory of portfolio diversification

arises from these approximations
Where: bi = the slope coefficient that relates the returns for Security i to the returns for the aggregate stock market
Rm = the returns for the aggregate stock market
Where: σi = the standard deviation of ^2 m= the variance of returns for the
aggregate stock market
Trang 47The Efficient
Frontier
2.8
Trang 48The efficient frontier is
the envelope curve
containing the best of all
these possible
combinations
The set of portfolios with
the highest rate of
return for any given
level of risk or the
lowest risk for any level
of return is known as
the efficient frontier
Trang 49Based on your utility function,
which expresses your attitude
point along the efficient
frontier as an investor
any portfolio from dominating
and risk measure , with
expected rates of return that
rise with increased risk.
Trang 50The Efficient Frontier and
Investor Utility
2.9
Trang 51As we move upward, the
slope of the efficient
frontier curve gradually
decreases This implies
that the expected return
decreases as we move up
the efficient frontier when
we add equal risk
increments.
Trang 52The utility curves of an
individual investor outline the risks and returns trade-offs that person is prepared
to make
These utility curves work with the efficient frontier to identify the specific portfolio
on the efficient frontier that
best satisfies a particular investor
Trang 53The optimal portfolio is the most efficient portfolio with the greatest utility for
a given investor It lies at the point of tangency between the efficient frontier and the U1 curve with the greatest utility
The curves labeled
U1, U2, and U3 are
for a strongly
risk-averse investor
The curves labeled (U3′ , U2′ , U1′ ) characterize a less risk-averse investor
