Hello sir was watching your lectures and what caught my eye was chapter 8 portfolio theory where you have a few lectures on,
i haven’t really studied or come across this topic , so i would like to ask that what is it all about and what calculations it involves ? i was seeing calculations relating to standard deviation etc
Are you using the notes while watching the lectures?
The notes make it very clear that you cannot be asked calculations these days on portfolio theory, but you are expected to know about it. Showing the calculations should make it more clear, but you will not be expected to do the calculations.
You are expected to know what the standard deviation means (because it is relevant for other topics such as value at risk), and the lectures explain what it is.
