TAILIEUCHUNG - Lecture Investments (6/e) - Chapter 8: Optimal risky portfolios

In Chapter 8 we discussed optimal risky portfolios. That decision governs how an investor chooses between risk-free assets and “the” optimal portfolio of risky assets. This chapter explains how to construct that optimal risky portfolio. We begin with a discussion of how diversification can reduce the variability of portfolio returns. After establishing this basic point, we examine efficient diversification strategies at the asset allocation and security selection levels. | Chapter 8 Optimal Risky Portfolios Risk Reduction with Diversification Number of Securities St. Deviation Market Risk Unique Risk rp = W1r1 + W2r2 W1 = Proportion of funds in Security 1 W2 = Proportion of funds in Security 2 r1 = Expected return on Security 1 r2 = Expected return on Security 2 Two-Security Portfolio: Return p2 = w12 12 + w22 22 + 2W1W2 Cov(r1r2) 12 = Variance of Security 1 22 = Variance of Security 2 Cov(r1r2) = Covariance of returns for Security 1 and Security 2 Two-Security Portfolio: Risk 1,2 = Correlation coefficient of returns Cov(r1r2) = 1,2 1 2 1 = Standard deviation of returns for Security 1 2 = Standard deviation of returns for Security 2 Covariance Range of values for 1,2 + > r > If r= , the securities would be perfectly positively correlated If r= - , the securities would be perfectly negatively correlated Correlation Coefficients: Possible Values 2p = W12 12 + W22 12 + 2W1W2 rp = W1r1 + W2r2 + W3r3 Cov(r1r2) + W32 32 Cov(r1r3) + 2W1W3 Cov(r2r3) + 2W2W3 Three-Security Portfolio rp = Weighted average of the n securities p2 = (Consider all pairwise covariance measures) In General, For An N-Security Portfolio: E(rp) = W1r1 + W2r2 p2 = w12 12 + w22 22 + 2W1W2 Cov(r1r2) p = [w12 12 + w22 22 + 2W1W2 Cov(r1r2)]1/2 Two-Security Portfolio Portfolios with Different Correlations = 1 13% %8 E(r) St. Dev 12% 20% = .3 = -1 = -1 The relationship depends on correlation coefficient. < < + The smaller the correlation, the greater the risk reduction potential.
