Chapter 7 - An Introduction to
Portfolio Management
Questions to be answered:
• What do we mean by risk aversion and what evidence indicates that
investors are generally risk averse?
• What are the basic assumptions behind the Markowitz portfolio
theory?
• What is meant by risk and what are some of the alternative
measures of risk used in investments?
• How do you compute the expected rate of return for an individual
risky asset or a portfolio of assets?
• How do you compute the standard deviation of rates of return for an
individual risky asset?
• What is meant by the covariance between rates of return and how
do you compute covariance?
Chapter 7 - An Introduction to
Portfolio Management
• What is the relationship between covariance and correlation?
• What is the formula for the standard deviation for a portfolio of
risky assets and how does it differ from the standard deviation of an
individual risky asset?
• Given the formula for the standard deviation of a portfolio, why and
how do you diversify a portfolio?
• What happens to the standard deviation of a portfolio when you
change the correlation between the assets in the portfolio?
• What is the risk-return efficient frontier?
• Is it reasonable for alternative investors to select different portfolios
from the portfolios on the efficient frontier?
• What determines which portfolio on the efficient frontier is selected
by an individual investor?
Background Assumptions
• As an investor, you want to maximize return
for a given level of risk.
• Your portfolio includes all of your assets
and liabilities, not just your traded
securities.
• The relationship between the returns of the
assets in the portfolio is important.
• A good portfolio is not simply a collection
of individually good investments.
Risk Aversion
Given a choice between two assets
with equal rates of return, most
investors will select the asset with the
lower level of risk.
Evidence That
Investors are Risk Averse
• Many investors purchase insurance:
–
–
–
–
Life
Automobile
Health
Disability
Insurance is one of the few
things we buy which we know
has a negative NPV
• The insured trades a known cost (the premium) for
an unknown risk of loss
• The required yield on bonds increases with risk
classifications from AAA to AA to A….
But Not Totally Risk Averse . . .
• Risk preferences may have to do with the
amount of money involved – we are willing
to risk small amounts, but we insure against
large losses
– People buy lottery tickets (negative expected
value but the potential loss is small)
– But also buy insurance (negative expected
value but the potential loss is large)
Which Definition of Risk?
•
Uncertainty of future outcomes
–

•
Risk involves both positive & negative outcomes
What we measure with standard deviation
Probability of an adverse outcome

–
Ignore outcomes that are better than expected
Investors only really care about negative surprises.
They like positive surprises.

Markowitz Portfolio Theory
• Derives the expected rate of return and expected
risk for a portfolio of assets
• Shows that the variance & standard deviation of
the rate of return is a meaningful measure of
portfolio risk
• Derives the formula for computing the variance
& standard deviation of a portfolio, showing
how to effectively diversify a portfolio
Harry Markowitz
• Nobel Laureate (1990)
• In 1952, while still a graduate
student at Chicago, Markowitz
took just one afternoon to convert
the notions of risk & return into a
set of written rules involving the
use of diversification &
optimization. These became the
building blocks for all future
advances in investment theory.
Assumptions of
Markowitz Portfolio Theory
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Investors consider each investment alternative as defined
by a probability distribution of expected returns over a
holding period.
Investors maximize one-period expected utility, and
their utility curves demonstrate diminishing marginal
utility of wealth.
Investors estimate the risk of the portfolio on the basis of
the variability of expected returns (assumes that returns
are normally distributed).
Investors base decisions solely on expected return and
risk, so their utility curves are a function of expected
return and the expected variance (or standard deviation)
of returns only.
For a given level of risk, investors prefer higher returns
to lower returns. Similarly, for a given level of expected
returns, investors prefer less risk to more risk.
Markowitz Portfolio Theory
Using these five assumptions, a single asset
or portfolio of assets is considered to be
efficient if no other asset or portfolio of
assets offers a higher expected return with
the same (or lower) risk, or lower risk with
the same (or higher) expected return.

Variance (Standard Deviation) of
Returns for an Individual Asset
• Variance is a measure of the dispersion of
returns around the mean
• If returns are tightly clustered around the
mean, variance is low
• If returns are widely dispersed around the
mean, variance is high
• Standard deviation is the square root of the
variance

Checking for Normality
• Many of our standard models in finance assume normality
• To check a distribution for normality, check for both skewness and
kurtosis
• A normal distribution is completely described by two parameters:
– Mean
– Variance
• A normal distribution is perfectly symetrical
– 68.26% of the observations lie within one standard deviation of the mean
– 95.44% of the observations lie within two standard deviations of the mean
– 99.74% of the observations lie within three standard deviations of the
mean
Skewness
• Skewness is present when the distribution is not
symmetrical
• A distribution with positive skewness has a large number
of small negative values with a few large positive values –
the distribution has a long right tail (why we buy lottery
tickets)
• A distribution with negative skewness has a large number
of small positive values with a few large negative values –
the distribution has a long left tail (why we buy insurance)
Skewness
• Positive skewness
– Mode < Median < Mean
– Investors like positive skewness because the
mean is greater than the median
• Negative skewness
– Mean < Median < Mode
– to help remember the correct order, this is the
same order as they would be listed in the
dictionary

 Sample
A symmetrical distribution has a skewness of zero.
The sign indicates whether the skewness is positive or
negative (when we cube the deviation, the sign of the
deviation is retained).
For a sample size of 100 taken from a normal distribution, a
skewness of +/- 0.5 would be considered unusually large.
See the exact formula on the next page.

For small sample sizes (n < 100), should use the exact formula.
For large

Interpretation: A skewness of zero
indicates a perfectly symmetrical
distribution. Given a value of -0.05 we
can assume the distribution is almost
symmetrical.

Note the difference in skewness between the
monthly & annual returns. This is typical of many
return series – the nature of the statistic depends
heavily on the time period used.
Kurtosis
• Kurtosis is a statistical measure that indicates
whether a distribution is more or less peaked than
a normal distribution.
• For example, observations may be either more
tightly clustered around the mean (a more peaked
distribution) or more of them may lie in the tails of
the distribution
– Leptokurtic – distribution is more peaked (lepto is from
the word Greek word for slender) & has fatter tails
– Platykurtic – the distribution is less peaked than a
normal distribution (platy is the Greek word for broad)
– Mesokurtic – a “normal” distribution (meso is from the
Greek word for middle)
• A normal distribution has a kurtosis of 3

Kurtosis
• The kurtosis of a normal distribution is 3
• Excel and many other software packages calculate
kurtosis and then subtract 3, giving a measure
called excess kurtosis (as calculated on the
previous page).
• An excess kurtosis greater than zero indicates a
leptokurtic distribution; an excess kurtosis less
than zero indicates a platykurtic distribution.
Moving From One Risky Asset to
Several Risky Assets
• The return on the risky asset portfolio is calculated
as a weighted average of the return of the assets in
the portfolio
– Weights are the market values of each asset divided by
the total market value of the portfolio

Calculating Risk: Two Risky Assets
• The risk of a single risky asset is calculated
as its standard deviation
• When there are two or more risky assets in a
portfolio, we must also incorporate how the
individual assets move in relation to each
other
• Thus we need to understand covariance &
correlation
Covariance of Returns
• A measure of the degree to which two variables “move
together” relative to their individual mean values over time
– If both returns are typically above their respective means at the
same time, the covariance will be positive
– If one return is typically above its mean when the other return is
below its mean, covariance will be negative
– For two assets, i and j, the covariance of their returns is defined as:
Covij = E{[R i - E(R i )] [R j - E(R j )]}

Wilshire 5000 and the Lehman
Treasury Bond Index is 0.109
Correlation Coefficient
• Can vary only in the range +1 to -1.
• A value of +1 would indicate perfect
positive correlation.
– This means that returns for the two assets move
together in a completely linear manner.
• A value of –1 would indicate perfect
negative correlation.
– This means that the returns for two assets have
the same percentage movement, but in opposite
directions

Variance-Covariance Matrix
• The variance-covariance matrix shows that
the influence of individual asset risk quickly
diminishes as the size of the portfolio
grows, whereas the influence of covariance
grows quickly.
• For a portfolio of N assets, there are N
variance terms and N2 – N covariance terms

As N, the number of securities in the portfolio, increases, portfolio
variance approaches the average covariance
Thus the risk of a well-diversified portfolio depends on the market
risk of the securities in the portfolio.
Market risk is measured by Beta.
Portfolio standard deviation
Measuring Risk
Portfolio risk falls rapidly as the
number of securities in the portfolio
rises. A 1970 study by Fama & Lorie
found that 80% of the unique risk is
diversified away with 8 stocks; 95%
with 32 stocks & 99% with 128
stocks

Number of Securities
Canadian studies have found that substantially more stocks
are required in Canada to achieve good diversification, due to
the heavy concentration of resource stocks on the TSX.
Estimation Issues
• Results of portfolio allocation depend on accurate
statistical inputs
• Estimates of
– Expected returns
– Standard deviation
– Correlation coefficient
• Among entire set of assets
• With 100 assets, 4,950 correlation estimates
• Estimation risk refers to potential errors
Estimation Issues
• With assumption that stock returns can be described by a
single market model, the number of correlations required
reduces to the number of assets
• Single index market model:
R i  a i  bi R m   i
bi = the slope coefficient that relates the returns for security i
to the returns for the aggregate stock market
Rm = the returns for the aggregate stock market
έi = error term (lower case Greek letter epsilon)
Estimation Issues
If all the securities are similarly related to the market
and a bi derived for each one, it can be shown that the
correlation coefficient between two securities i and j is
given as:
 m2
ij  bibj
 i j
Where :
ij  the correlatio n between asset i and asset j
 m2  the variance of returns for the aggregate stock market
b i  the slope coefficien t that relates the returns
for security i to the returns for the aggregate stock market
The Efficient Frontier
• The efficient frontier represents that set of portfolios with
the maximum rate of return for every given level of risk, or
the minimum risk for every level of return
• Frontier will be portfolios of investments rather than
individual securities
– An exception is the asset with the highest return

The Efficient Frontier
and Investor Utility
• An individual investor’s utility curve specifies the tradeoffs he is willing to make between expected return and risk
– the more risk averse the individual, the steeper the slope of his/her
