    Hello

    I have a bit confusion that in p4 lecture there is five lectures on portfolio theory where standard deviation is explained in very much detail and there is one Long square root formula also used again n again for mix investments ..I am quite confused that is this topic is relevant in this much detail for p4 or is it just to clear on our concepts on risk and return .I can’t find any question related to this in bpp kit also ..could you please confirm how much focus should I put over portfolio theories as I have difficulty in understanding that topic and watching in full at this stage of preparation .

    Thank you

    I make it very clear, in bold letters, in the lecture notes – in the introduction to the chapter on portfolio theory – that you cannot now be asked for portfolio theory calculations and that I have left the examples simply because they help make more sense of what is happening with portfolio theory. You are expected to be able to explain portfolio theory, but not to perform calculations.
