A Model Portfolio’s Lifecycle

Overview

In this episode of the Masterclass Series podcast, we introduce the concept of Mean-Variance Optimization and the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), frameworks used to understand risk and return in financial markets.   We start by explaining how Markowitz's portfolio theory helps investors construct portfolios that minimize risk for a given level of return, introducing the concept of the efficient frontier.

The podcast then move on to incorporate a risk-free asset, which simplifies the efficient frontier to a straight line, leading to the concept of the tangency portfolio. The CAPM is derived from this framework, suggesting that the risk of an asset is not measured by its volatility but rather by its beta, which reflects its correlation with the market portfolio.
