Topic 3 - Computing portfolio risk and return. After you have mastered the material in this chapter, you will be able to: Compute correlation and covariance matrices, compute the standard deviation of a portfolio of risky assets, use matrix algebra to compute portfolio return and risk, use VBA comments and application object. | Financial Modeling Topic #3: Computing Portfolio Risk and Return L.

(inside dimensions (rC*Rc) The resulting matrix has the same number of rows as the first matrix and the number of columns as the second matrix (outside dimensions Rc*rC) If the outer dimensions are 1, the result is a single number Each element of the new matrix AB (ABij) is the sum “sumproducts” of the ith row of A times the jth column of B. (Element ABij=ΣAiBj) Excel uses MMULT(Matrix1,Matrix2) to perform matrix multiplication You must use “Ctrl, Shift, Enter” to enter an array in excel 9 Multiplication To copy formula: highlight area, press f2, press ctrl-shift-enter 9 1. By Hand ABij=sum product of (Ri of A x Cj of B); AB11=sum . | Financial Modeling Topic #3: Computing Portfolio Risk and Return L.
