  1. LEARNING OBJECTIVES • Calculating two-asset portfolio expected returns and standard deviations • Estimating measures of the extent of interaction – covariance and correlation coefficients • Being able to describe dominance, identify efficient portfolios and then apply utility theory to obtain optimum portfolios • Recognise the properties of the multi-asset portfolio set and demonstrate the theory behind the capital market line

  2. One year: Holding period returns Where: s = semi-annual rate R = annual rate For three year holding period

  3. EXAMPLE: Initial share price = £1.00 Share price three years later = £1.20 Dividends: year 1 = 6p, year 2 = 7p, year 3 = 8p

  14. A CORRELATION SCALE • So long as the returns of constituent assets of a portfolio are not perfectly positively correlated, diversification can reduce risk. The degree of risk reduction depends on: • the extent of statistical interdependence • between the returns of the different • investments: the more negative the better; and • the number of securities over which to spread • the risk: the greater the number, the lower the • risk. –1 0 +1 Perfect Independent Perfect negative positive correlation correlation Correlation scale

  17. A general rule in portfolio theory: Portfolio returns are a weighted average of the expected returns on the individual investment… BUT… Portfolio standard deviation is less than the weighted average risk of the individual investments, except for perfectly positively correlated investments.
