Portfolio
• A portfolio is a grouping of financial assets
such as stocks, bonds, cash equivalents as
well as their mutual, exchange –traded and
closed-fund counterparts.
• His choice depends upon the risk-return
characteristics of individual securities.

Building a Portfolio
• Step-1 : Use the Markowitz portfolio selection
model to identify optimal combinations.
• Step-2 : consider borrowing and lending
possibilities.
• Step-3 : choose the final portfolio based on
your preferences for return relative to risk.
PORTFOLIO SELECTION
• Goal: finding the optimal portfolio
• OPTIMAL PORTFOLIO: Portfolio that
provides the highest return and lowest risk.
• Method of portfolio selection: Markowitz
model
Portfolio Selection
The proper goal of portfolio construction
would be to generate a portfolio that provides
the highest return and the lowest risk is
called Optimal portfolio.
The process of finding the optimal
portfolio is described as Portfolio selection.
Efficient Set of Portfolio
• The concept of efficient portfolio, let us
consider various combinations of securities
and designated them as portfolio 1 to n.
• The risk of these portfolios may be estimated
by measuring the standard deviation of
portfolio returns.
Feasible set of portfolio
• Also known as portfolio opportunity set.
• With a limited no of securities an investor
can create a very large no. of portfolios
by combining theses securities in different
proportions.

• Harry Max Markowitz (born August 24, 1927) is
an American economist.
• He is best known for his pioneering work in
Modern Portfolio Theory.
• Harry Markowitz put forward this model in
1952.
• Studied the effects of asset risk, return,
correlation and diversification on probable
investment portfolio returns.
Harry Max Markowitz
Essence of Markowitz Model
“Do not put all your eggs in one
basket”1. An investor has a certain amount of capital he wants to invest over a single time
horizon.
2. He can choose between different investment instruments, like stocks, bonds,
options, currency, or portfolio. The investment decision depends on the future risk
and return.
3. The decision also depends on if he or she wants to either maximize the yield or
Essence of Markowitz Model
1. Markowitz model assists in the selection of the most efficient by analysing
various possible portfolios of the given securities.
2. By choosing securities that do not 'move' exactly together, the HM model
shows investors how to reduce their risk.
3. The HM model is also called Mean-Variance Model due to the fact that it is
based on expected returns (mean) and the standard deviation (variance) of
the various portfolios.

• An investor has a certain amount of capital he wants to

• He can choose between different investment instruments,

• The investment decision depends on the future risk and
return.
• The decision also depends on if he or she wants to either
maximize the yield or minimize the risk.
• The investor is only willing to accept a higher risk if he or
she gets a higher expected return.
Tools for selection of portfolio- Markowitz Model
1. Expected return (Mean)
Mean and average to refer to the sum of all values divided
by the total number of values.
The mean is the usual average, so:
(13 + 18 + 13 + 14 + 13 + 16 + 14 + 21 + 13) ÷ 9 = 15
)((ER)ReturnExpected

Where:
ER = the expected return on Portfolio
E(Ri) = the estimated return in scenario i
Wi= weight of security i occurring in the port folio
Rp=R1W1+R2W2………..
n Rp = the expected return on Portfolio
R1 = the estimated return in Security 1
R2 = the estimated return in Security 1
W1= Proportion of security 1 occurring in the port folio
W2= Proportion of security 1 occurring in the port folio
Where:
1. Expected return (Mean)
2. Standard deviation (variance)
3. Co-efficient of Correlation
Tools for selection of portfolio- Markowitz Model
2. Variance & Co-variance
The variance is a measure of how far a set of numbers is
spread out. It is one of several descriptors of a probability
distribution, describing how far the numbers lie from the mean
(expected value).
1. Covariance reflects the degree to which the returns of the two securities vary or
change together.
2. A positive covariance means that the returns of the two securities move in the
same direction.
3. A negative covariance implies that the returns of the two securities move in
opposite direction.

3. Co-efficient of Correlation
Covariance & Correlation are conceptually analogous in the
sense that of them reflect the degree of Variation between two
variables.1. The Correlation coefficient is simply covariance divided the product of standard
deviations.
2. The correlation coefficient can vary between -1.0 and +1.0

perfectly negatively correlated,
a two-asset portfolio made up
of equal parts of Stock A and B
would be riskless. There would

• The riskiness of a portfolio that is made of different risky assets is a
function of three different factors:
• the riskiness of the individual assets that make up the portfolio
• the relative weights of the assets in the portfolio
• the degree of variation of returns of the assets making up the portfolio
• The standard deviation of a two-asset portfolio may be measured
using the Markowitz model:

using Markowitz Portfolio selection formulae.

• The optimal portfolio concept falls under the modern
portfolio theory. The theory assumes that investors
fanatically try to minimize risk while striving for the
highest return possible.

  • 25. Tools for selection of portfolio- Markowitz Model 2. Variance & Co-variance The variance is a measure of how far a set of numbers is spread out. It is one of several descriptors of a probability distribution, describing how far the numbers lie from the mean (expected value). 1. Covariance reflects the degree to which the returns of the two securities vary or change together. 2. A positive covariance means that the returns of the two securities move in the same direction. 3. A negative covariance implies that the returns of the two securities move in opposite direction.

  • 29. • The riskiness of a portfolio that is made of different risky assets is a function of three different factors: • the riskiness of the individual assets that make up the portfolio • the relative weights of the assets in the portfolio • the degree of variation of returns of the assets making up the portfolio • The standard deviation of a two-asset portfolio may be measured using the Markowitz model: BAABBABBAAp rwwww  22222  CACACACBCBCBBABABACCBBAAp rwwrwwrwwwww  ,,, 222222 222  The data requirements for a three-asset portfolio grows dramatically if we are using Markowitz Portfolio selection formulae.
