Graphing the efficient frontier for a two-stock portfolio in Excel
Shows how to download returns for two stocks, calculate mean, variance and standard deviations for various portfolios of the two stocks, and draw the efficient ...
+Erasmus Tyapa For the efficient frontier in the video, yes. Essentially different weights are plugged in to represent different portfolio scenarios. The expected return of each individual asset is taken as a given (in reality, it can either be derived from past returns, or by using some sort of return-generating model such as CAPM). The portfolio standard deviation varies based on the weights and correlation between each asset in the portfolio and can be derived in Excel using the variance-covariance method which can be found here on YouTube. The expected return of the portfolio is simply the weighted average return generated by each asset (weight of asset multiplied by the expected return of the same asset).
Drawing the Efficient Frontier
Tutorial: Constructing Efficient Frontier using Markowitz model
This tutorial shows how to calculate portfolio efficient frontier comprised of common stocks. It relies on Markowitz model and mean-variance optimization.
Can you please provide us with a link to the website where the template is.
And what will happen if you add a treasury bond to the portfolio (a
free-risk bond), how would the calculation change?
Plotting the Efficiency Frontier of a n-asset Portfolio
Continuing the previous video that prepared the correlation matrix, I compute the key statistics of my sample portfolio and prepare a Monte-Carlo simulation to ...
Question on the 3-year total return. Wouldn't this value be calculable from
the weekly returns sheet? If so, what would that formula be. If not, why
not? Thanks for your efforts, really learned a lot.
In this video, Dr Paul Docherty from The University of Newcastle (Australia) describes the portfolio optimisation and the efficient frontier. The video includes a ...
Thanks for the helpful tutorial. Can you tell me how to convert monthly
standard deviation to annual? Do you simply multiply the monthly standard
deviation by 12?
