 INTRODUCTION
• Risk : The degree of uncertainty and/or potential financial loss
associated with an investment choice is referred to as risk. In general,
when investment risks increase, investors desire bigger returns to
compensate for the risk they are taking. Each saving and investment
option comes with its own set of risks and rewards.
• Return : Income from an investment plus any changes in market price,
commonly stated as a percentage of the investment's initial market
price.
The components of returns are yield and capital gains.

PORTFOLIO RISK
Portfolio risk refers to the possibility that the assets or units in your investments will fail to satisfy
your financial goals. Each investment in a portfolio has its own level of risk, with a bigger potential
return often implying a larger level of risk.

Risk and rate-of-return are, in general, inextricably linked.
When an investment's risk level rises, the potential return
usually rises with it. The investing risk pyramid depicts the risk Moderate
and reward associated with various investing opportunities. As Risk
investors progress up the pyramid, they face a greater risk of
losing money while also having the opportunity to earn more
money.

A standard deviation is a statistic that measures a

dataset's dispersion from its mean. By calculating σ𝑛𝑖=1(𝑥𝑖 − 𝑥)ҧ 2
each data point's divergence from the mean, the
𝜎=
𝑛−1
standard deviation is calculated as the square root
of variance. There is a bigger variance within the
data set if the data points are further from the 𝑥𝑖 = Value of the 𝑖 𝑡ℎ point in the data set
mean; consequently, the more spread out the
𝑥ҧ = The mean value of the data set
data, the larger the standard deviation.
𝑛 = The number of data points in the data set

Portfolio variance is a risk indicator that Portfolio variance =w12σ12 +w22σ22 +2w1w2 Cov1,2

of each security pair in the portfolio, are σ1= the standard deviation of the first asset

statistic.
Cov1,2 = the covariance of the two assets, which can thus be
expressed as p(1,2)σ1σ2, where p(1,2) is the correlation coefficient
between the two assets

The capital market line (CML) depicts portfolios that have the best risk-reward ratio. For efficient portfolios, the capital asset
pricing model (CAPM) displays the risk-return trade-off. It's a theoretical notion that encompasses all portfolios that combine the
risk-free rate of return and a market portfolio of hazardous assets in the most optimal way. According to CAPM, all investors will
adopt an equilibrium position on the capital market line by borrowing or lending at the risk-free rate, which maximizes return for a
given degree of risk.

𝑅𝑝 ​ = portfolio return

𝑟𝑓 ​= risk free rate

𝑅𝑇 −𝑟𝑓
𝑅𝑝 = 𝑟𝑓 + X 𝜎𝑝 𝑅𝑇 ​ = market return
𝜎𝑇
𝜎𝑇 = standard deviation of market returns
𝜎𝑝 ​ = standard deviation of portfolio returns​

 SECURITY MARKET LINE (SML)
The security market line (SML) is a graphical representation of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM)—which plots various degrees of
systematic, or market risk, of various marketable securities against the projected return of the entire market at any one time.

The security market line is a tool for evaluating investments that is derived from the CAPM—a model that describes the risk-return
relationship for securities—and assumes that investors must be compensated for both the time value of money (TVM) and the risk
premium associated with any investment.

The CAPM and the SML both use the concept of beta. A security's
beta is a measure of its systematic risk, which is unaffected by
The formula for plotting the SML is:
diversification. The entire market average is defined as a beta
Required return = risk-free rate of return + beta (market return - value of one. A beta value larger than one indicates a higher risk
risk-free rate of return) level than the market average, while a beta value less than one
indicates a lower risk level than the market average.
