Most of the course is geared towards the understanding and implementation of “modern portfolio theory”. The student should be able to interpret major return measures and explain risk aversion with its implications for portfolio selection. Interpretation of the minimum-variance and efficient frontiers of risky assets is a most. Finally, the student will be able to select the optimal portfolio given an investor’s utility and the capital allocation line.
