Markowitz's approach:
Markowitz's approach refers to Harry Markowitz's Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT), which
he introduced in his seminal 1952 paper, "Portfolio Selection." This theory fundamentally
changed the way people think about investment portfolios and risk management.

Markowitz's Approach, Sharpe Single Index Model, and Treynor Approach:

A Comparative Analysis

These three approaches are fundamental in portfolio theory, each offering a unique perspective
on portfolio construction and evaluation.

Markowitz's Approach (Mean-Variance Analysis)

 Core Concept: This approach focuses on constructing portfolios that maximize


expected return for a given level of risk, or minimize risk for a given level of expected
return.

 Key Considerations:
o Expected Return: The anticipated return of a security or portfolio.
o Variance (Risk): The dispersion of returns from the expected return.
o Covariance: The measure of how two securities move together.
 Process:
o Estimate expected returns and covariance matrix for all securities.
o Calculate efficient frontier, a curve representing the set of portfolios that offer
the highest expected return for a given level of risk.
o Select the optimal portfolio based on investor's risk tolerance.

Sharpe Single Index Model

 Core Concept: This model simplifies portfolio analysis by assuming that the return of
a security is influenced by both a market factor (systematic risk) and a security-specific
factor (idiosyncratic risk).
 Key Considerations:
o Market Index: A representative index of the overall market.
o Beta: A measure of a security's systematic risk relative to the market index.
o Alpha: A measure of a security's excess return over its expected return based
on its beta.

 Process:
o Estimate the beta of each security.
o Calculate the expected return of each security using the Capital Asset
Pricing Model (CAPM).
o Construct the optimal portfolio by selecting securities with the highest alpha.

Treynor Ratio

 Core Concept: This ratio measures a portfolio's risk-adjusted performance by


dividing its excess return by its beta.
 Key Considerations:
o Excess Return: The return of the portfolio minus the risk-free rate.
o Beta: A measure of the portfolio's systematic risk.
 Process:
o Calculate the Treynor ratio for each portfolio.
o Select the portfolio with the highest Treynor ratio.

Conclusion:

While Markowitz's approach provides a comprehensive framework for portfolio optimization,


the Sharpe Single Index Model and Treynor Ratio offer more simplified and efficient methods.
The choice of approach depends on the investor's specific needs, data availability, and
computational resources.
