Quantitative Portfolio Management - Homework 1 - Case Study ExampleFrom the graph, Roy (1952) argued that investors should pick portfolios in order to maximize the likelihood of getting above some threshold minimum return.. Drawing a straight line from this minimum return tangent to the efficient frontier. Lower thresholds result in optimal portfolios with less return / risk, once you have identified the efficient frontierUsing the idea that risks distinguish from different sources, a single index model assumes that actual returns can be separated into systematic (i.e. market-related) and firm-specific parts here, the market (e.g. S&P500 index) is the source of market-related movements in security iSince there is no perfect match for this assets, that various portfolio combinations of most two-asset portfolios will lie on a curve to the left as you reduce correlation between pairs of assets, you will have to risk for a given level of portfolio return.Result One portfolio (P) domin ates all of the other efficient portfolio on the efficient set Investors who choose combinations of P and the risk-free asset get the highest return for a given level of risk, compared to all other risky
