Principles of DiversificationWhy do people invest?
Investment positions are undertaken with the goal of earning someexpected return. Investors seek to minimize inefficient deviations from
the expected rate of returnDiversification is essential to the creation of an efficientinvestment, because it can reduce the variability of returnsaround the expected return.
A single asset or portfolio of assets is considered to beefficient if no other asset or portfolio of assets offers higherexpected return with the same (or lower) risk, or lower riskwith the same (or higher) expected return.

Will diversification eliminate all our risk?It reduces risk to an undiversifiable level. It eliminates only
company-specific risk.
Simple diversificationrandomly selected stocks,equally weighted investments
Diversification across industriesinvesting in stock
across different industries such transportation, utilities,energy, consumer electronics, airlines, computerhardware, computer software, etc.

Markowitz DiversificationCombining assets that are less than perfectly positivelycorrelated in order to reduce portfolio risk withoutsacrificing portfolio returns.
It is more analytical than simple diversification andconsiders assets correlations. The lower the correlationamong assets, the more will be risk reduction throughMarkowitz diversification
Example of Markotwitzs DiversificationThe emphasis in Markowitzs Diversification is onportfolio expected return and portfolio risk

Portfolio Expected Return
A weighted average of the expected returns of individual
securities in the portfolio.
The weights are the proportions of total investment in eachsecurity
n
E(Rp) = wi x E(Ri)
i=1
Where n is the number of securities in the portfolio

Portfolio Risk
Measured by portfolio standard deviation
Not a simple weighted average of the standarddeviations of individual securities in the portfolio.
Why?
How to compute portfolio standard deviation?

Significance of Covariance
An absolute measure of the degree of association
between the returns for a pair of securities.The extent to which and the direction in which
two variables co-vary over time

Why Correlation?
What is correlation?
Perfect positive correlation The returns have a perfect direct linear relationship Knowing what the return on one security will do allows an investor to
forecast perfectly what the other will do
Perfect negative correlation Perfect inverse linear relationship
Zero correlation No relationship between the returns on two securities

Combining securities with perfect positive correlation
or high positive correlation does not reduce risk in the
portfolio
Combining two securities with zero correlation reduces
the risk of the portfolio. However, portfolio risk
cannot be eliminatedCombining two securities with perfect negative
correlation could eliminate risk altogether

Portfolio Analysis
Job of a portfolio manager is to use these risk and return statisticsin choosing/combining assets in such a way that will result in
minimum risk at a given level of return, also called efficientportfolios
Select investment weights in such a manner that it results in aportfolio that has minimum risk at a desired level of return, i.e.,efficient portfolios
As we change desired level of return, our efficient combination ofsecurities in the portfolio will change
Therefore, we can get more than one efficient portfolio atdifferent risk-return combinations
The concept of Efficient Frontier

Efficient Frontier
Is the locus of points in risk-return space having themaximum return at each risk level or the least possible risk
at each level of desired returnPresents a set of portfolios that have the the maximumreturn for every given level of risk or the minimum risk fora given level of return
As an investor you will target a point along the efficientfrontier based on your utility function and your attitudetowards risk.
Can a portfolio on the efficient frontier dominate any otherportfolio on the efficient frontier?

The Efficient Frontier and
Investor UtilityThe slope of the efficient frontier curve decreases steadily aswe move upward (from left to right) on the efficient frontier
What does this decline in slope means? Adding equal increments of risk gives you diminishing increments of expected
return
An individual investors utility curves specify the trade-offsinvestor is willing to make between expected return and risk
In conjunction with the efficient frontier, these utility curvesdetermine which particular portfolio on the efficient frontier
best suits an individual investor.

Can two investors will choose the same portfolio
from the efficient set? Only if their utility curves are identical
Which portfolio is the optimal portfolio for a
given investor? One which has the highest utility for a given investor given
by the tangency between the efficient frontier and the
curve with highest possible utility
