After introducing the notion of an Efficient Portfolio Frontier, he covers the concept of the Tangency Portfolio, which leads him to the Mutual Fund Theorem.
The course will cover practical issues such as: how to select an investment universe and instruments, derive long term risk/return forecasts, create tactical models, construct and implement an efficient portfolio,to take into account constraints and transaction costs, measure and manage portfolio risk, and analyze the performance of the total portfolio.
Furthermore, deleting period subscripts, we have that the excess return on any one-period mean-variance efficient portfolio satisfies m-w=p(rho -w), where ρ is the mean return on η, the market portfolio given by rho =frac{mu^{prime}Sigma^{-1}mu}{mathbf{1}^{prime}Sigma^{-1}mu}, and the mean-variance efficient portfolio in question is peta + 1-p zeta.
For this purpose, we introduce the two frontiers defined by their distinguished spanning portfolios (Skiadas (2009)), the minimum variance portfolios ζ 1,ζ 2 for each period and two distinguished efficient portfolios η 1,η 2 that we shall refer to as the market portfolios for the two periods.
