Modern Portfolio Theory
TopicHeard in 2 episodes across 2 shows since Nov 2026
Modern portfolio theory (MPT), or mean-variance analysis, is a mathematical framework for assembling a portfolio of assets such that the expected return is maximized for a given level of risk. It formalizes the concept of diversification in investing, showing that an asset's risk and return should be evaluated by how it contributes to an overall portfolio rather than in isolation.
