The calculation of portfolio variance considers not only the riskiness of individualassetsbut also the correlation between each pair of assets in the portfolio. Thus, the statistical variance analyzes how assets within a portfolio tend to move together. The general rule of portfoliodiversificationis th...

Portfolio beta is a measure of the overall systematic risk of a portfolio of investments. It equals the weighted-average of the beta coefficient of all the individual stocks in a portfolio. While variance and standard deviation of a portfolio are calculated using a complex formula which includes ...
Computation of Portfolio VaR Pros and Cons of using VaR as a risk measure Computation of Portfolio VaRSuppose you have a portfolio consisting of a certain number of assets and you have already computed the variance of the portfolio returns. Let us denote this quantity by σp2. Correspondingly,...
However, when considering this asset as a part of a portfolio, what matters is its contribution to the portfolio risk. Let us begin by an existing portfolio consisting of N assets. Now we consider adding one unit of an asset i into the portfolio. In order to measure the impact of this ...
Portfolio standard deviation is the standard deviation of a portfolio of investments. It is a measure of total risk of the portfolio and an important input in calculation of Sharpe ratio. It is based on the weights of the portfolio assets, their individu
effectively. By calculating portfolio variance, you gain insights into how different assets interact within your portfolio and how these interactions impact overall performance. Armed with this knowledge, you can make informed decisions to balance risk and return, leading to a more successful investing ...
Active Management Risk. The Adviser has considerable leeway in deciding which investments to buy, hold or sell, and which trading strategies to use. Such decisions will affect performance. To the extent the Portfolio invests a substantial portion of its assets in the financials sector, fac...
the variance in the portfolio indicates the greater the variance of the individual assets, and hence the greater the risk. Portfolio managers thus seek to reduce risk by incorporating assets with low correlations, meaning there is little relationship in the movement of the assets in the portfolio...
The covariance of two particular assets is calculated by a formula that includes the historical asset returns as independent and dependent variables as well as the historical mean of each asset price over a similar number of trading periods for each asset. The formula takes the daily return minus...
