This document discusses portfolio management. It defines a portfolio as a group of financial assets like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds that are combined to reduce risk. Portfolio management is the process of creating and maintaining investment portfolios. There are active and passive approaches to portfolio management. The key phases of portfolio management are security analysis, portfolio analysis, selection, revision, and evaluation. Models like the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), Capital Market Line (CML), and Security Market Line (SML) are used to calculate risk and return of portfolios and individual securities.

7. Capital asset pricing
model(CAPM)
CAPM is the tool used by finance professionals in order to
calculate the return that an investment should bring
Developed by Harry Markowitz in 1952
Mathematically,
The securities market as a whole has a beta coefficient of 1.0
If beta is greater than 1.0 it implies a higher risk than the
market average
If beta is less than 1.0 it implies a less risk than the market
average
8. Capital market line(CML)
CML is the tangent line drawn from the point of
risk-free assets to the feasible region for risky
assets
The portfolio will lie on the efficient frontier which
is the market portfolio M
It provides a linear relation between expected
return and the risk that describes the proportion of
a risk-free asset and an efficient portfolio of assets
that an investor can hold
9. Security market line(SML)
SML is the representation of CAPM
The SML is the line that reflects an investments
risk versus its return. A line that graphs the
systematic or market ,risk versus return of the
whole market at a certain time and shows all risky
marketable securities
It is also known as the characteristic line
Individual securities are plotted on SML graph
