Introduction The reason for portfolio theory
mathematics:• To show why diversification is a good idea
• To show why diversification makes sense logically

Introduction (cont’d) Harry Markowitz’s efficient portfolios:
• Those portfolios providing the maximum return for their level of risk
• Those portfolios providing the minimum risk for a certain level of return

Introduction A portfolio’s performance is the result of
the performance of its components• The return realized on a portfolio is a linear
combination of the returns on the individual investments
• The variance of the portfolio is not a linear combination of component variances

Introduction Understanding portfolio variance is the
essence of understanding the mathematics of diversification• The variance of a linear combination of random
variables is not a weighted average of the component variances

Minimum Variance Portfolio The minimum variance portfolio is the
particular combination of securities that will result in the least possible variance
Solving for the minimum variance portfolio requires basic calculus
![Page 18: 1 Chapter 6 The Mathematics of Diversification. 2 O! This learning, what a thing it is! - William Shakespeare](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a8aea55034643688b5ad4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Correlation and Risk Reduction
Portfolio risk decreases as the correlation coefficient in the returns of two securities decreases
Risk reduction is greatest when the securities are perfectly negatively correlated
If the securities are perfectly positively correlated, there is no risk reduction
![Page 23: 1 Chapter 6 The Mathematics of Diversification. 2 O! This learning, what a thing it is! - William Shakespeare](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a8aea55034643688b5ad4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

24
The n-Security Case (cont’d) The equation includes the correlation
coefficient (or covariance) between all pairs of securities in the portfolio
![Page 25: 1 Chapter 6 The Mathematics of Diversification. 2 O! This learning, what a thing it is! - William Shakespeare](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a8aea55034643688b5ad4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
The n-Security Case (cont’d) A covariance matrix is a tabular
presentation of the pairwise combinations of all portfolio components• The required number of covariances to compute
a portfolio variance is (n2 – n)/2
• Any portfolio construction technique using the full covariance matrix is called a Markowitz model
![Page 26: 1 Chapter 6 The Mathematics of Diversification. 2 O! This learning, what a thing it is! - William Shakespeare](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a8aea55034643688b5ad4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Single-Index Model Computational advantages Portfolio statistics with the single-index
model
![Page 27: 1 Chapter 6 The Mathematics of Diversification. 2 O! This learning, what a thing it is! - William Shakespeare](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a8aea55034643688b5ad4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Computational Advantages The single-index model compares all
securities to a single benchmark• An alternative to comparing a security to each
of the others
• By observing how two independent securities behave relative to a third value, we learn something about how the securities are likely to behave relative to each other
![Page 28: 1 Chapter 6 The Mathematics of Diversification. 2 O! This learning, what a thing it is! - William Shakespeare](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a8aea55034643688b5ad4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Computational Advantages (cont’d)
A single index drastically reduces the number of computations needed to determine portfolio variance• A security’s beta is an example:

Multi-Index Model A multi-index model considers independent
variables other than the performance of an overall market index• Of particular interest are industry effects
– Factors associated with a particular line of business
– E.g., the performance of grocery stores vs. steel companies in a recession
