    • 12. 10.3 The Return and Risk for PortfoliosNote that stocks have a higher expected return than bonds and higher risk. Let us turn now to the risk-return tradeoff of a portfolio that is 50% invested in bonds and 50% invested in stocks.

    • 16. 10.3 The Return and Risk for PortfoliosThe expected rate of return on the portfolio is a weighted average of the expected returns on the securities in the portfolio.
    • 17. 10.3 The Return and Risk for PortfoliosThe variance of the rate of return on the two risky assets portfolio is where BS is the correlation coefficient between the returns on the stock and bond funds.
    • 18. 10.3 The Return and Risk for PortfoliosObserve the decrease in risk that diversification offers. An equally weighted portfolio (50% in stocks and 50% in bonds) has less risk than stocks or bonds held in isolation.

    • 38. Definition of Risk When Investors Hold the Market PortfolioResearchers have shown that the best measure of the risk of a security in a large portfolio is the beta (b)of the security. Beta measures the responsiveness of a security to movements in the market portfolio.

    • 46. 10.10 Summary and ConclusionsThis chapter sets forth the principles of modern portfolio theory. The expected return and variance on a portfolio of two securities A and B are given byBy varying wA, one can trace out the efficient set of portfolios. We graphed the efficient set for the two-asset case as a curve, pointing out that the degree of curvature reflects the diversification effect: the lower the correlation between the two securities, the greater the diversification. The same general shape holds in a world of many assets.
    • 47. 10.10 Summary and ConclusionsThe efficient set of risky assets can be combined with riskless borrowing and lending. In this case, a rational investor will always choose to hold the portfolio of risky securities represented by the market portfolio.Then with borrowing or lending, the investor selects a point along the CML.returnPefficient frontierrfMCML
    • 48. 10.10 Summary and ConclusionsThe contribution of a security to the risk of a well-diversified portfolio is proportional to the covariance of the security's return with the market’s return. This contribution is called the beta.The CAPM states that the expected return on a security is positively related to the security’s beta:
