13.  Harry Markowitz is considered the father of modern
portfolio theory, mainly because he is the first person
who gave a mathematical model for portfolio
optimization and diversification.
 Modern Portfolio theory is a theory of finance that
attempts to maximize portfolio expected returns for a
given amount of risk, or minimize the risk for a given
level of expected return
 Markowitz Theory advise investors to invest in
multiple securities rather than pulling all eggs in one
basket.

16.  Risk of a portfolio is based on the variability of returns
from the said portfolio.
 An investor is risk averse.
 An investor prefers to increase consumption.
 Analysis is based on single period model of investment.
 An investor either maximizes his portfolio return for a

minimum risk.
 An investor is rational in nature.

18.  CAPM is used to determine a theoretically appropriate
require rate of return of an asset, if that asset is to be
added to an already well diversified portfolio, given
that assets non-diversifiable risk.
 Model starts with the idea that individual investment
contains two types of risk.
 Those are as follows:

19.  Systematic risk:
This are market risk that cannot be diversified away.
Interest rate, recession & wars are example of
systematic risk.
 Un-systematic risk:
Also known as specific risk. This risk is specific to
individual stock and can be diversified away as the
investors increases the number of stocks in his
portfolio. In more technical terms, it represent the
component of a stocks return i.e. not correlated with
general market moves.
