  1. Portfolio Optimization – Finding the Efficient Frontier Theory, and a Practical Example Stodder, Efficient Frontier, July

  2. Concept of Beta Stodder, Efficient Frontier, July

  3. Source: Value Line, March 2005 Stodder, Efficient Frontier, July

  4. Security Market Line Equation Required Return=Risk Free + Risk Premium on Stock iRate on Stock i Required Return=Risk Free + βi(Market Risk) on Stock iRate Premium Ri = Rrf + βi(Rm - Rrf) Stodder, Efficient Frontier, July

  5. Beta of the Market must be = 1 Ri = Rrf + βi(Rm - Rrf) if Ri = Rm, βi = βm then Rm= Rrf + βm(Rm - Rrf) => Rm -Rrf = βm(Rm - Rrf) => βm = 1 Stodder, Efficient Frontier, July

  6. The Efficient Frontier Non-Diversifiable Risk Stodder, Efficient Frontier, July

  7. How do We Find the Efficient Frontier? Basic Strategy: • Find the Standard Deviation(σi) and Mean Return(μi) of every stock Stock i. • For any given rate of return, find the minimal standard deviation portfolio that can achieve that return. Stodder, Efficient Frontier, July

  8. Run Simulation • From Financial Models Using Simulation and Optimization by Wayne Winston. Stodder, Efficient Frontier, July
