| | Modern portfolio theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Modern portfolio theory (MPT) proposes how rational investors will use diversification to optimize their portfolios, and how an asset should be priced given its risk relative to the market as a whole. | | | MPT models the return of an asset as a random variable and a portfolio as a weighted combination of assets; the return of a portfolio is thus also a random variable and consequently has an expected value and a variance. | | | Lintner, J. The Valuation of Risk Assets and the Selection of Risky Investments in Stock Portfolios and Capital Budgets, The Review of Economics and Statistics, 47 (1), 13-39. |

| | The emergence of Foreign Portfolio Investment |
| | Drawing on modern portfolio theory, a number of studies using long term data showed that investors free to choose foreign assets can obtain a significantly better risk/return trade-off than if they are restricted to assets from one country (Fischer and Reisen, 1994). | | | Foreign direct investment was an important channel for flows to all regions in these years but portfolio investment was relatively unimportant and largely involved bond issues in the Euromarkets by a few of the more credit-worthy developing countries. | | | Another critical development that contributed to the rise in foreign portfolio investment over the last decade was the worldwide wave of privatisations initiated by the Thatcher government in the United Kingdom in the early 1980s that culminated in the restructuring of Third World economies and formerly centrally planned economies in the 1980s and 1990s. |

| | Modern Portfolio Theory |
| | The insight of modern portfolio theory is that maximum correlation is 1, and a portfolio with 2 securities each with the same return and risk will have less risk than the 2 securities individually. | | | In portfolio terms, "dominate" means that a portfolio has a higher expected return than another portfolio, with the same or less level of risk. | | | The expected returns of a portfolio of these assets is simply the weighted average of expected returns, and the standard deviation of each portfolio is computed using the portfolio standard deviation formula above. |

| | Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) is also called “portfolio theory” or “portfolio management theory.” MPT is a sophisticated investment approach first developed by Professor Harry Markowitz of the University of Chicago, in 1952. | | | Modern Portfolio Theory allows investors to estimate both the expected risks and returns, as measured statistically, for their investment portfolios. | | | While the technical underpinnings of MPT are complex, and drawn from financial economics, probability and statistical theory, its conclusion is simple and easy to understand: A diversified portfolio, of uncorrelated asset classes, can provide the highest returns with the least amount of volatility! |

| | Wilmott Forums - What is Modern Portfolio Theory? |
| | Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) essentially holds that the most important factor to keep track of in an investment portfolio is the trade-off between risk and return, and that the prior focus of investment management -- stock picking -- was of relatively little importance. | | | Treynor did so during the 1962-63 academic year, and during the fall of 1962 parsed his 1961 paper into a single-period CAPM (rewritten using the first-order conditions instead of state-space) which is probably the most famous unpublished modern paper in finance ("Toward a Theory of Market Value of Risky Assets"). | | | Buscador u shouldn't forget arbitrage pricing theory in your historical review, which is probably the most reliable theory for portfolio selection |

| |     If you have ever been educated about diversification, you have been introduced to the teachings of Modern Portfolio Theory, or MPT. | | | For example, the theory says a conservative, fixed income-oriented investor is better off holding a small portion of their portfolio in stocks, and in doing so can improve their return without sacrificing safety. | | |     I find it fascinating that since their groundbreaking work on portfolio theory, tens of millions of investors, including professional money managers and retail investors, are still continually taught that this is the only "correct" way to invest. |
