PORTFOLIO RISK: THE n-ASSET CASE
The calculation of risk becomes quite involved
when a large number of assets or securities are
combined to form a portfolio.
2
Efficient Portfolios of risky securities
An efficient portfolio is one that has
the highest expected returns for a
given level of risk. The efficient
frontier is the frontier formed by the
set of efficient portfolios. All other
portfolios, which lie outside the
efficient frontier, are inefficient
portfolios.

Variance Covariance matrix
You are interested to invest three securities called A,B,C
in the following proportion. A 50%, B 30%, C 20%.
You have already computed the following variance and
covariance matrix.
Security name A B C
A 146 187 145
B 187 854 104
C 145 104 289
i) Calculate the risk of this portfolio.
ii) Prepare the correlation matrix for this portfolio.
5
Systematic Risk
Systematic risk arises on account of the
economy-wide uncertainties and the tendency
of individual securities to move together with
changes in the market.
This part of risk cannot be reduced through
diversification.
It is also known as market risk.
Beta can be used to measure the Systematic
risk
6
Beta - β
It is the relevant measure of risk of an
investment is its non- diversifiable risk /
systematic risk.
All securities do not have the same level of non
diversifiable risk because the level of influence
of economic wide –factors tends to vary
characteristic line.
Beta =1 shows, if the market portfolio
increased by 1% security i’s return also
increase by 1%
If the βim>1 – aggressive If βim<1 – Defensive

Beta Calculation: Example
The value of and in the regression equation are given by the
following equations:
N S X Y - (S X ) (S Y )
b=
N S X 2 - (S X )2
(5) (4,774.49) - (27.42) (19.73)
bj =
(5) (5, 438.58) - (27.42) 2
23,872.45 - 541.00 23,331.45
= = = 0.88
27,192.90 - 751.86 26, 441.04
Alpha = a = Y - bX
Alpha = a j = 3.95 - (0.88) (5.48) = - 0.89
