  2. Today • Portfolio Theory • The Mean-Variance Criterion • The Normal Distribution • Capital Allocation • The Mathematics of Portfolio Theory

  3. The Mean-Variance Criterion(M-V or μ-σ criterion) Let A and B be two (risky) assets. All risk-averse investors prefer asset A to B if { μA ≥ μB and σA < σB } or if { μA > μB and σA ≤ σB } * Note that these rules apply only when we assume that the distribution of returns is normal.

  4. The Mean-Variance Criterion(M-V or μ-σ criterion) ☺ E(R) = μR ☺ STD(R) = σR

  5. The Normal Distribution of Returns Pr(R) 68% 95% μ- 2σ μ μ+σ μ+2σ μ- σ R

  6. The Normal Distribution of Returns Pr(Return) σR: Risk μR: Reward 0 R=Return

  7. The Normal DistributionHigher Reward (Expected Return) Pr(Return) μB μA < R=Return

  8. The Normal DistributionLower Risk (Standard Deviation) Pr(Return) A σA < σB B μA= μB R=Return

  9. Capital Allocation - Outline • n mutually exclusive assets (i.e. one can only invest in one asset but not in a portfolio) • One risky asset and one risk-free asset • n risky assets and one risk-free asset (the risky investments are mutually exclusive) • Two risky assets • n risky assets • n risky assets and one risk-free asset

  10. Capital Allocation - Data There are three (risky) assets and one risk-free asset in the market. The risk-free rate is rf = 1%, and the distribution of the returns of the risky assets is normal with the following parameters

  11. Capital Allocation: n mutually exclusive assets State all the possible investments. Assuming you can use the Mean-Variance (M-V) rule, which investments are M-V efficient (i.e. which assets can not be thrown out of the set of desirable investments by a risk-averse investor who uses the M-V rule)? Present your results on the μ-σ (mean – standard-deviation) plane.

  13. The Mean-Variance Criterion(M-V or μ-σ criterion) ☺ E(R) ☺ STD(R)

  14. Capital Allocation: n mutually exclusive assets The investment opportunity set: {rf, A, B, C} The Mean-Variance (M-V or μ-σ ) efficient investment set: {rf, A, C} Note that investment B is not in the efficient set since investment A dominates it (one dominant investment is enough).

  15. Capital Allocation:One Risky Asset (A) and One Risk-free Asset State all the possible investments – how many possible investments are there? Assuming you can use the Mean-Variance (M-V) rule, which investments are M-V efficient? Present your results on the μ-σ (mean – standard-deviation) plane.

  16. The Expected Return and STD of the Return of the Portfolio α = the proportion invested in the risky asset A p = the portfolio with αinvested in the risky asset A and (1- α) invested in the risk-free asset rf Rp = the return of portfolio p μp= the expected return of portfolio p σ p= the standard deviation of the return of portfolio p Rp = α·RA + (1-α)·rf μp = E[ α·RA + (1-α)·rf ] = α·μA + (1-α)·rf σ2p = V[ α·RA + (1-α)·rf ] = (α·σA)2 Or σp = α·σA

  17. Capital Allocation:One Risky Asset and One Risk-free Asset The investment opportunity set: {all portfolios with proportion α invested in A and (1-α) invested in the risk-free asset rf} The Mean-Variance (M-V or μ-σ ) efficient investment set: {all the portfolios in the opportunity set}

  24. Capital Allocation:One Risky Asset and One Risk-free Asset The investment opportunity set: {all the portfolios with proportion α invested in the risky asset j and (1-α) invested in the risk-free asset, (j = A or B or C)} The Mean-Variance (M-V or μ-σ ) efficient investment set: {all the portfolios with proportion α invested in the risky asset A and (1-α) invested in the risk-free asset – (why A?)}

  25. Capital Allocation:Two Risky Assets State all the possible investments – how many possible investments are there? Assuming you can use the Mean-Variance (M-V) rule, which investments are M-V efficient? Present your results on the μ-σ (mean – standard-deviation) plane.

  26. The Expected Return and STD of the Return of the Portfolio wA = the proportion invested in the risky asset A wB = (1-wA) = the proportion invested in the risky asset B p = the portfolio with wAinvested in the risky asset A and (1-wA) invested in the risky asset B Rp = the return of portfolio p μp= the expected return of portfolio p σ p= the standard deviation of the return of portfolio p Rp = wA·RA + (1-wA)·RB μp = E[ wA·RA + (1-wA)·RB ] σ2p= V[ wA·RA + (1-wA)·RB ]

  33. Portfolios on the Efficient Frontier wA = the proportion invested in the risky asset A wB = (1-wA) = the proportion invested in the risky asset B What is the value of wA for each on of the portfolios indicated on the graph? - Assume that μA=10%; μB=5%; σA=12%; σ B=6%; ρAB=(-0.5). What is the investment strategy that each portfolio represents? How can you find the minimum variance portfolio? What is the expected return and the std of return of that portfolio?
