CHAPTER
3.1.1. Concept of Portfolio
Portfolio can be referred to as the combination of various financial
instruments like the stocks and debentures. The process of combining
the securities from various asset classes with aim to obtain maximum
return with minimum risk is called as portfolio construction.
Portfolio helps in the diversification of risk among various assets. The
diversified securities help in getting the required return from the
portfolio. If an investor puts all his money in a single security and that
security performs poorly, the investor will incur loss
However, on the other hand if he buys various securities from his total
capital and minimises the risk. In a diversified portfolio, some securities
may not perform as expected, but others may exceed the expectation and
making the actual return of the portfolio reasonably close to the
expected one.
A market portfolio is a theoretical bundle of investments that includes
every type of asset available in the world financial market, with each
: _ asset weighted in proportion to its total presence in the market

the portfolio. The weighted return of these securities in the port tio iy
known as portfolio returns. Portfolio risk uses the standard des iatiog |
along with the covariance between securities. It is not the simple
weighted average risk of various securities in the portfolio. yi
3.1.3. Portfolio Returns/Expected Return on |

The weighted average of the expected retum of indiviclual securities in
given portfolio is known as expected return on a portfolio

a
Where,
R, = Expected rate of return in a portfolio,
W, = Proportion of total investment invested in i" asset,
R, = Expected rate of return on i® security,
n = Number of securities in a given portfolio. |
Example 1: The stock of Singh Mills Ltd, (SML) has the expected rate |
of return of 20% for a holding period while the Chopra Mills Ltd.
(CML) has 16% expected rate of return. |
The investors want to invest in both the securities. Calculate the |
expected rate of return from the two-asset portfolio.
Solution: R,= WR, |
a
Wevn = 0.50 Rw = 0.20 |
Wem = 0.50 Rem =0.16
R p = (Wem) (R smu) + (Wem) (R cw)
(0.50x0.20) + (0.50x0.16)
.10 + 0.08 = 0.18 or 18%
Note: Here, let the total weight of the stock be 1 which is divided into
two securities for investment. Therefore, Wey. and Went will be 0.50.Portfolio Analysis (Chapter 3) SI
Example 2: Continuing the above two Asset Portfolio, the Tewari Mills
Ltd scrip is also included in the portfolio by partly selling the
investment in Chopra Mill Ltd by 20% of total investment and the
expected rate of return from Tewari Mills Ltd is 22% for the same
holding period. What will be the return from the 3-asset portfolio?
Solution:
Wemi= 0.50 R sm = 0.20
Rem = 0.16
Rm = 0.22
R
p= (Wem) (R smi) + (Went) (R emt) + (Wr) (R rt)
(0.50x0.20] + [0.30x0.16] + [0.20x0,22]
10 + 0.048 + 0.044
.192 or 19.2%
Note: Here, Wem = 0.50 — 0.20 = 0.30
3.1.4. Portfolio Risk
The weighted average rates of return of individual assets of given
portfolio is known as the portfolio rate of return. The calculation of
portfolio risk is different from the weighted average of total risk of an ;
individual asset. It is usually different from individual asset tisk. There 4
are chances that the individual assets may be risky with large standard
deviations and if they are combined in a portfolio than there is no tisk.
