ABSTRACT
Portfolio management can be defined and used in many a ways, because the basic meaning of the word is
combination of the various things keeping intact. So I considered and evaluated this from the perspective
of the investment part in the securities segment.
From the investor point of view this portfolio followed by him is very important since through this way one
can manage the risk of investing in securities and thereby managing to get good returns from the investment
in diversified securities instead of putting all the money into one basket. Now a days investors are very
cautious in choosing the right portfolio of securities to avoid the risks from the market forces and economic
forces. So this topic is chosen because in portfolio management one has to follow certain steps in choosing
the right portfolio in order to get good and effective returns by managing all the risks.
This topic covers the how a particular portfolio has to be chosen concerning all the securities individual
return and thereby arriving at the overall portfolio return. This also covers the various techniques of
evaluation of the portfolio with regarding to all the uncertainties and gives an edge to select the right one.
The purpose of choosing this topic is to know how the portfolio management has to be done in arriving at
the effective one and at the same time make aware the investors to choose the securities which they want to
put them in their portfolio. This also gives an edge in arriving at the right portfolio in consideration to
different securities rather than one single security. The project is undertaken for the study of my subject
thoroughly while understanding the different case studies for the better understanding of the investors and
myself.

INTRODUCTION
Portfolio Management Services (PMS) is an investment portfolio in stocks, fixed income, debt, cash,
structured products and other individual securities, managed by a professional money manager, which can
potentially be tailored to meet specific investment objectives.
Investment is the employment of funds with the aim of achieving additional income or growth in
value.
The essential quality of an investment is that it involves waiting for a reward.
The term
Investment does not appear to be as simple as it has been defined. Investment has been further categorized
by financial experts and economists. It has also often been confused with the term Speculation. The
following discussion will give an explanation of the various ways in which investment is related or
differentiated from the financial and economic sensex and how speculation differs from investment.
However, it must be clearly established that investment involves long-term commitment.
A combination of securities with different risk- return characteristics will constitute the portfolio
of the investor. A portfolio is a combination of various assets and/or instruments of investments. The
portfolio is also built up out of the wealth or income of the investor over a period of time with a view to suit
his risk and return preferences to that of the portfolio that he holds. The portfolio analysis is an analysis of
the risk-return characteristics of individual securities in the portfolio and changes that may take place in
combination with other securities due to interactions among themselves and impact of each one of them on
others.
As individuals are becoming more and more responsible for ensuring their own financial future,
portfolio or fund management has taken on an increasingly important role in banks ranges of offerings to
-8-

their clients. In addition, as interest rates have come down and the stock market has gone up and come down
again, clients have a choice of leaving their saving in deposit accounts, or putting those savings in unit trusts
or investment portfolios which invest in equities and/or bonds. Investing in unit trusts or mutual funds is one
way for individuals and corporations alike to potentially enhance the returns on their savings.
IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY

-9-
A portfolio is a collection of investments held by an institution or a private individual. Holding a

portfolio is part of an investment and risk-limiting strategy called diversification. By owning several assets,
certain types of risk (in particular specific risk) can be reduced. The assets in the portfolio could include
stocks, bonds, options, warrants, gold certificates, real estate, futures contracts, production facilities, or any
other item that is expected to retain its value.
A portfolio management service involves deciding what assets to include in the portfolio, given the
goals of the portfolio owner and changing economic conditions. Thus, portfolio management is all about
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the choice of debt vs. equity, domestic vs. international,
growth vs. safety and numerous other trade-offs encountered in the attempt to maximize return at a given
appetite for risk.
NEED FOR THE STUDY

- 10 -
Value and thereby create for the company is now considered the principal objective of a business
firm and in achieving such objective, proper and efficient management of finance is quite essential. The four
most vital and important aspects of portfolio management are:
1. Portfolio risk
2. Expected return
3. Systematic and unsystematic risk
4. Liquidity
In order to facilitate the realization of the objective of maximization of investors wealth, every
business firm should devote considerable attention towards the effective as well as efficient management of
investments. In the management of investments both risk and return are vital, to a great extent in creating
value of the company.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
To study about the portfolio management services provided by Reliance Money.
- 11 -
To study about the interest and awareness of the general investors in stock market and their
investment choices and investment pattern.
To study the various stages involved in portfolio management services.
To study the benefits of creating an investment portfolio.
To study the investment pattern, its related risks & returns and finding out the optimal

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
- 12 -

Research design or research methodology is the procedure of collecting, analyzing and interpreting
the data to diagnose the problem and react to the opportunity in such a way where the costs can be
minimized and the desired level of accuracy can be achieved to arrive at a particular conclusion.
A structures questionnaire is distributed to a sample size of 30 respondents of young and

middle aged working people to study their view on stock market, their preferred investment
choices and investment pattern.
Market prices of the companies have been taken for the years of different dates, there by
dividing the companies into 5 sectors.
A final portfolio is made at the end of the year to know the changes (increase/decrease) in the
portfolio at the end of the year.
SOURCES OF DATA
Primary Data: - Interviews
Structured interviews with the respondents of the questionnaire.
Collecting the values the shares of the company from the NSE website and doing the comparative
data analysis.
Secondary Data: - Referring to
Case study
Company Brochures
Website of the company

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
- 15 -

LITERATURE REVIEW
According to the Websters dictionary, literature is the writings that pertain to a particular branch of
learning, and printed matter. And review means to examine again, to study carefully.
Therefore literature review is the printed matter which we study very carefully during our work. This
project is also a collection of insight into the different printed material.
PORTFOLIO THEORY - INTRODUCTION

Whether its retiring early, saving for childrens education, paying off a loan or to live a secured and
satisfied life everyone has dreams they can achieve by investing their savings. However, the question that
arises is that, should one leave his money tucked away in the bank or plough it into the stock market where
the potential for higher returns is greater but the chances of losing money is higher? Deciding where to
invest depends on ones attitude towards risk (ones capacity to take risk and ones tolerance towards risk)
and the investment horizon and non-availability of guaranteed-return investment products.
In such a scenario, investing in equity, which offers returns that are higher than the inflation rate,
help to build wealth and to improve the standard of living. It is fine that stock market fluctuates over time.
At present as far as the world economy is concerned it is on a boom. As soon as globalization and
liberalization has come into act it has well shaped the economy. India has turned out to be the hot
destination for the money investors and this has resulted growth in the sensex .It was never hoped before
that BSE will ever touch the mark of 16000 points. But only due to the new economic opportunities and the
confidence of people in Indias economic future it has been successfully lead to cross even 20000 points.
Investing in equity is the way to earn money and to fulfill the dreams. The risk involved with investing in
equity can be moderated by careful stock selection and close monitoring.

INVESTMENT AVENUES AND ALTERNATIVES
Investment alternatives vary from fixed income to variable income which includes RBI bonds,
government securities, fixed deposit, equity investments, property and so on.
In recent years the 6.5 percent tax-free RBI Bonds have become a very popular saving instrument -especially amongst individuals. Till 1996, these bonds gave returns of 10 per cent. This came down to 9 per
cent and then 8 percent and then in 2003 it was reduced to 6.5 per cent (tax free). Nowadays, 8 percent
taxable Government of India bonds are also doing well to attract investors who want safe and higher yield.
However, with inflation at nearly 4.5%, the return offered by these instruments were still attractive.
However, with the scrapping of the tax-free bonds, safe investment options for individuals have become
very limited and people are now choosing to go with either post office saving schemes or equity related
instruments.
Take a look at what is happening- Debt funds, which were said to be relatively risk-free, are giving
very less returns. Monthly Income Plans offered by mutual funds are also not attractive as their portfolio is
made up of 80 percent debt and 20 percent equity. With debt giving very less returns and returns from equity
becoming stagnant, the returns from MIPs are also very attractive. The returns offered by MIPs are totally
dependant upon the type of security and debt instruments held by the fund But with recent rally in the stock
market, very few people are now going for MIPs and have a very positive sentiment about the market and
would like to stay with the market for long. But continuously we still have a single question in mind:
So where should individuals park their money now?

"The 8 per cent taxable RBI Bonds seem to be one of the best options right now looking for safe
avenues."
- 17 -
The person in the 30 percent tax bracket, the 8 per cent RBI bonds will give returns of approximately
5.6 per cent. Though this is much lower than the previous 6.5 percent, it is still a better than most other
options. If you are a senior citizen, the Senior Citizens Savings scheme offering a 9 Percent yearly interest is
a good investment option. The scheme was announced in the Budget 2006-2007 and was meant for people
above the age of 60. However, this scheme has a maximum deposit limit of Rs. 15 lacs while RBI Bonds do
not have any limit. In this case, the term for deposit is five years with a facility for premature withdrawal.
The 9 percent returns are subject to tax, so if you are in the 30 percent tax bracket, you will effectively get
returns of 6.3 per cent.
Another option can be Floating Rate Bond Fund offered by mutual funds. Basically, these funds
invest in floating rate instruments and therefore have a direct correlation to interest rates. If interest rates go
up the returns from these funds rise and returns fall with a fall in interest rates. This is unlike debt funds,
where there is a reverse relationship between interest rates and returns. A rise in interest rates results in a fall
in returns. In the current scenario, these funds are likely to give returns of 5 percent to 5.5 percent.
The dividends are tax-free in the hands of the investor and most importantly, there is complete liquidity.
Again, there is no limit on the amount that can be deposited. Also, there is hardly any volatility making it a
safe option. If you are willing to take a bit of risk, you can divide your portfolio in such a way that 60
percent is invested in floating rate bond funds and the remaining 40 percent in equity. That's like having an
MIP except that instead of 80 percent in debt and 20 percent in equity, here the 60 percent is in floating rate
bond funds. Such a portfolio can give you returns of aprox. 8.5 % to 9.5 %.

Non-marketable Financial Assets - A good portion of financial assets is represented by nonmarketable financial assets. These can be classified into the following broad categories:
Bank deposits
Post office deposits
Company deposits
Provident fund deposits
Equity Shares - Equity shares represent ownership capital. As an equity shareholder, you have an
ownership stake in the company. This essentially means that you have a residual interest in income and
wealth. Perhaps, the most romantic among various investment avenues, equity shares are classified into the
following broad categories by stock market analysts:
Blue chip shares
Growth shares
Income shares
Cyclical shares
Speculative shares
Bonds - Bonds or debentures represent long-term debt instruments. The issuer of a bond promises to pay a
stipulated steam of cash flow. Bonds may be classified into the following categories:
Government securities
- 19 -
Government of India relief bonds
Government agency securities
PSU bonds
Debentures of private sector companies
Preference shares
Money Market Instruments - Debt instruments which have a maturity of less than one year at the time of
issue are called money market instruments. The important money market instruments are:
Treasury bills
Commercial paper
Certificates of deposits
Mutual Funds - Instead of directly buying equity shares and/or fixed income instruments, you can
participate in various schemes floated by mutual funds which, in turn, invest in equity shares and fixed
income securities. There are three broad types of mutual fund schemes:
Equity schemes
Debt schemes
Balanced schemes
Life Insurance - In a broad sense, life insurance may be viewed as an investment. Insurance premiums
represent the sacrifice and the assured sum the benefit. The important types of insurance policies in India
are:
Endowment assurance policy
Money back policy
Whole life policy
Term assurance policy

- 20 -

Real Estate - For the bulk of the investors the most important asset in their portfolio is a residential house.
In addition to a residential house, the more affluent investors are likely to be interested in the following
types of real estate:
Agricultural land
Semi-urban land
Time share in a holiday resort
Precious Objects - Precious objects are items that are generally small in size but highly valuable in
monetary terms. Some important precious objects are:
Gold and silver
Precious stones
Art objects
Financial Derivatives - A financial derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from the value of an
underlying asset. It may be viewed as a side bet on the asset. The most important financial derivatives from
the point of view of investors are:
Options
Futures
Since every individual would like to earn return on their investment but where to invest has always
been a problem. There has always been a confusion as to which instrument to invest, which instrument will
give me higher returns, etc. Even now nuclear families are in and so are longer life spans. Even inflation is
increasing and so do the standard of life, medical costs, and other things. In such a scenario, one need to
think as to how he will take care of all his future needs and build up a corpus that will not only take care of
routine expenses but also provide for extra costs, especially of health care. One need to have a corpus of
- 21 -

funds, post-retirement, which will give him close to 100% of the salary to preserve the lifestyle he has
grown to enjoy.
Thus, portfolio management is all about strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the
choice of debt vs. equity, domestic vs. international, growth vs. safety and numerous other trade-offs
encountered in the attempt to maximize return at a given appetite for risk.
Aspects of Portfolio Management:

Basically portfolio management involves
A proper investment decision making of what to buy & sell.
Proper money management in terms of investment in a basket of assets so as to satisfy the

asset preferences of investors.
Reduce the risk and increase returns.
OBJECTIVES OF PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT:

The basic objective of Portfolio Management is to maximize yield and minimize risk. The other ancillary
objectives are as per needs of investors, namely:
Regular income or stable return
Appreciation of capital
Marketability and liquidity
Safety of investment
Minimizing of tax liability.
- 22 -
ELEMENTS:
Portfolio Management is an on-going process involving the following basic tasks.
Identification of the investors objective, constrains and preferences which help formulated the
invest policy.
Strategies are to be developed and implemented in tune with invest policy formulated. This will
help the selection of asset classes and securities in each class depending upon their risk-return
attributes.
Review and monitoring of the performance of the portfolio by continuous overview of the
market conditions, companys performance and investors circumstances.
Finally, the evaluation of portfolio for the results to compare with the targets and needed
adjustments have to be made in the portfolio to the emerging conditions and to make up for any
shortfalls in achievements (targets).
QUALITIES OF PORTFOLIO MANAGER

1. SOUND GENERAL KNOWLEDGE: Portfolio management is an exciting and challenging job.
He has to work in an extremely uncertain and confliction environment. In the stock market every
new piece of information affects the value of the securities of different industries in a different way.
He must be able to judge and predict the effects of the information he gets. He must have sharp
memory, alertness, fast intuition and self-confidence to arrive at quick decisions.
2. ANALYTICAL ABILITY: He must have his own theory to arrive at the intrinsic value of the
security. An analysis of the securitys values, company, etc. is a continuous job of the portfolio
manager. A good analyst makes a good financial consultant. The analyst can know the strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities of the economy, industry and the company.
- 23 -
3. MARKETING SKILLS: He must be good salesman. He has to convince3 the clients about the
particular security. He has to compete with the stock brokers in the stock market. In this context, the
marketing skills help him a lot.
4. EXPERIENCE: In the cyclical behavior of the stock market history is often repeated, therefore the
experience of the different phases helps to make rational decisions. The experience of the different
types of securities, clients, market trends, etc., makes a perfect professional manager.

PROCESS OF PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT:

The Portfolio Program and Asset Management Program both follow a disciplined process to establish and
monitor an optimal investment mix. This six-stage process helps ensure that the investments match
investors unique needs, both now and in the future.
(Fig 3)
1. IDENTIFY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

When will you need the money from your investments? What are you saving your money for? With the
assistance of financial advisor, the Investment Profile will guide through a series of questions to help
identify the goals and objectives for the investments.
- 26 -

2. DETERMINE OPTIMAL INVESTMENT MIX
Once the Investment Profile is completed, investors optimal investment mix or asset allocation will be
determined. An asset allocation represents the mix of investments (cash, fixed income and equities) that
match individual risk and return needs.
3. CREATE A CUSTOMIZED INVESTMENT POLICY STATEMENT

When the optimal investment mix is determined, the next step is to formalize our goals and objectives in
order to utilize them as a benchmark to monitor progress and future updates.
4. SELECT INVESTMENTS
The customized portfolio is created using an allocation of select QFM Funds. Each QFM Fund is
designed to satisfy the requirements of a specific asset class, and is selected in the necessary proportion
to match the optimal investment mix.
5 MONITOR PROGRESS
Building an optimal investment mix is only part of the process. It is equally important to maintain the
optimal mix when varying market conditions cause investment mix to drift away from its target. To
ensure that mix of asset classes stays in line with investors unique needs, the portfolio will be
monitored and rebalanced back to the optimal investment mix
6. REASSESS NEEDS AND GOALS

Just as markets shift, so do the goals and objectives of investors. With the flexibility of the Portfolio
Program and Asset Management Program, when the investors needs or other life circumstances change,
the portfolio has the flexibility to accommodate such changes.
- 27 -

RISK:
Risk refers to the probability that the return and therefore the value of an asset or security may have
alternative outcomes. Risk is the uncertainty (today) surrounding the eventual outcome of an event which
will occur in the future. Risk is uncertainty of the income/capital appreciation or loss of both. All
investments are risky. The higher the risk taken, the higher is the return. But proper management of risk
involves the right choice of investments whose risks are compensation.
RETURN:
Return-yield or return differs from the nature of instruments, maturity period and the creditor or debtor
nature of the instrument and a host of other factors. The most important factor influencing return is risk
return is measured by taking the price income plus the price change.
PORTFOLIO RISK:
Risk on portfolio is different from the risk on individual securities. This risk is reflected by in the variability
of the returns from zero to infinity. The expected return depends on probability of the returns and their
weighted contribution to the risk of the portfolio.
RETURN ON PORTFOLIO:
Each security in a portfolio contributes returns in the proportion of its investment in security. Thus the
portfolio of expected returns, from each of the securities with weights representing the proportionate share
of security in the total investments.
- 28 -

RISK RETURN RELATIONSHIP:
The risk/return relationship is a fundamental concept in not only financial analysis, but in every
aspect of life. If decisions are to lead to benefit maximization, it is necessary that individuals/institutions
consider the combined influence on expected (future) return or benefit as well as on risk/cost. The
requirement that expected return/benefit be commensurate with risk/cost is known as the "risk/return tradeoff" in finance. All investments have some risks. An investment in shares of companies has its own risks or
uncertainty. These risks arise out of variability of returns or yields and uncertainty of appreciation or
depreciation of share prices, loss of liquidity etc. and the overtime can be represented by the variance of the
returns. Normally, higher the risk that the investors take, the higher is the return.
Fig 4
TYPES OF RISKS: Risk consists of two components. They are

1.
Systematic Risk
2.
Un-systematic Risk
- 29 -

1. SYSTEMATIC RISK:
Systematic risk refers to that portion of total variability in return caused by factors affecting the prices of all
securities. Economic, Political and sociological changes are sources of systematic risk. Their effect is to
cause prices of nearly all individual common stocks and/or all individual bonds to move together in the
same manner.
i.
Market Risk: Variability in return on most common stocks that are due to basic sweeping changes
in investor expectations is referred to as market risk. Market risk is caused by investor reaction to
tangible as well as intangible events.
ii.
Interest rate-Risk:
Interest rate risk refers to the uncertainty of future market values and of the size of future income, caused
by fluctuations in the general level of interest rates.
iii.
Purchasing-Power Risk:
Purchasing power risk is the uncertainty of the purchasing power of the amounts to be received. In more
events everyday terms, purchasing power risk refers to the impact of or deflation on an investment.
2. UNSYSTEMATIC RISK:
Unsystematic risk is the portion of total risk that is unique to a firm or industry. Factors such as management
capability, consumer preferences, and labor strikes Cause systematic variability of return in a firm.
Unsystematic factors are largely independent of factors affecting securities markets in general. Because
these factors affect one firm, they must be examined for each firm. Unsystematic risk that portion of risk
that is unique or peculiar to a firm or an industry, above and beyond that affecting securities markets in
- 30 -

general. Factors such as management capability, consumer preferences, and labor strikes can cause
unsystematic variability of return for a companys stock.
i.
Business Risk:
Business risk is a function of the operating conditions faced by a firm and the variability these conditions
inject into operating income and expected dividends.
Business risk can be divided into two broad categories
a. Internal Business Risk

b. External Business Risk
a. Internal business risk is associated with the operational efficiency of the firm. The operational
efficiency differs from company to company. The efficiency of operation is reflected on the companys
achievement of its pre-set goals and the fulfillment of the promises to its investors.
b. External business risk is the result of operating conditions imposed on the firm by circumstances
beyond its control. The external environments in which it operates exert some pressure on the firm.
Financial Risk:
Financial risk is associated with the way in which a company finances its activities. Financial risk is avoided
risk to the extent that management has the freedom to decide to borrow or not to borrow funds. A firm with
no debit financing has no financial risk.
- 31 -

EVALUATION OF PORTFOLIO
Portfolio manager evaluates his portfolio performance and identifies the sources of strengths and weakness.
The evaluation of the portfolio provides a feed back about the performance to evolve better management
strategy. Even though evaluation of portfolio performance is considered to be the last stage of investment
process, it is a continuous process. There are number of situations in which an evaluation becomes
necessary and important.
Self Valuation: An individual may want to evaluate how well he has done. This is a part of the
process of refining his skills and improving his performance over a period of time.
Evaluation of Managers: A mutual fund or similar organization might want to evaluate its
managers. A mutual fund may have several managers each running a separate fund or sub-fund. It is
often necessary to compare the performance of these managers.
Evaluation of Mutual Funds: An investor may want to evaluate the various mutual funds operating
in the country to decide which, if any, of these should be chosen for investment. A similar need
arises in the case of individuals or organizations who engage external agencies for portfolio advisory
services.
Evaluation of Groups: Academics or researchers may want to evaluate the performance of a whole
group of investors and compare it with another group of investors who use different techniques or
who have different skills or access to different information.

THE MARKOWITZ MODEL THE MODERN PORTFOLIO THEORY
Harry Markowitz is generally acknowledged as the father of modern portfolio theory after
publishing his seminal paper in 1952, for which he (jointly) received a Nobel Prize in 1990. Markowitz
(1952) and Tobin (1958) showed that it was possible to identify the composition of an optimal portfolio of
risky securities, given forecasts of future returns and an appropriate covariance matrix of share returns. This
research endeavours to apply the theory of Markowitz to the Johannesburg Securities Exchange (JSE) to
establish whether an optimal portfolio can be identified and used as an effective trading rule. Weekly data
over 11 years on the top 40 JSE listed companies was analysed to construct the study found that the trading
strategy significantly outperformed the market in the period under review Most people agree that holding
two stocks is less risky than holding one stock.
For example:Holding stocks from textile, banking and electronic companies is better than investing all the money on the
textile companies stock. But building up the optimal portfolio is very difficult. Markowitz provides an
answer. It is also known as modern portfolio theory. Modern portfolio theory (MPT) is a theory of
investment which tries to maximize portfolio expected return for a given amount of portfolio risk, or
equivalently minimize risk for a given level of expected return, by carefully choosing the proportions of
various assets. Although MPT is widely used in practice in the financial industry and several of its creators
won a Nobel Prize for the theory, in recent years the basic assumptions of MPT have been widely
challenged by fields such as behavioral economics. MPT is a mathematical formulation of the concept of
diversification in investing, with the aim of selecting a collection of investment assets that has collectively
lower risk than any individual asset. That this is possible can be seen intuitively because different types of
assets often change in value in opposite ways.
For example, when prices in the stock market fall, prices in the bond market often increase, and vice versa].
A collection of both types of assets can therefore have lower overall risk than either individually. But
- 33 -

diversification lowers risk even if assets' returns are not negatively correlatedindeed, even if they are
positively correlated. More technically, MPT models an asset's return as a normally distributed (or more
generally as an elliptically distributed random variable), defines risk as the standard deviation of return, and
models a portfolio as a weighted combination of assets so that the return of a portfolio is the weighted
combination of the assets' returns. By combining different assets whose returns are not perfectly positively
correlated, MPT seeks to reduce the total variance of the portfolio return. MPT also assumes that investors
are rational and markets are efficient.
Assumptions underlying Markowitz Theory:

Portfolio theory in the shape of Markowitz Theory makes the following assumptions concerning the
investment market and investors behavior within those markets.
We summaries these assumptions below:
Investors seek to maximize the expected return of total wealth.
All investors have the same expected single period investment horizon.
All investors are risk-adverse, that is they will only accept greater risk if they are compensated with
a higher expected return.
Investors base their investment decisions on the expected return and risk
(I.e. the standard deviation of assets historical returns).
All markets are perfectly efficient (e.g. no taxes and no transaction cost).
Literature Review of Case Studies in Portfolio Management

1. Keynes Meets Markowitz: The Tradeoff Between Familiarity and

Diversification
Model also has empirically testable implications for trading behavior: in response to a change in
idiosyncratic risk the Keynesian portfolio always exhibits more trading than the Markowitz portfolio, while
the opposite is true for a change in systematic volatility. In the equilibrium version of the model with
heterogeneous agents who are familiar with different assets, we find that the risk premium of stocks depends
on both systematic and idiosyncratic volatility, and that the equity risk premium is significantly higher than
in the standard model out ambiguity.
2. Portfolio Optimization Using Markowitz Model: An Application of

the Bucharest Stock Exchange
The Bucharest Stock Exchange, with all its economical, social and political problems and sudden ups and
downs, is a good reflection of the transition period that emerging economy is currently undergoing. This
study focuses on the use of an appropriate methodology for constructing efficient stock portfolios in an
extremely unstable market that makes the trade-off between risk and return even more difficult to achieve.
The objective is set in order to assess the market behavior: employing the Markowitz model, to construct a
set of optimum portfolios under a number of varying constraints and to compare them with the market
portfolio
3. Portfolio analysis based on Markowitz model
- 35 -

This paper focused on Portfolio Analysis that set-up among 15 selected stocks traded in Kuala Lumpur
Stock Exchange (KLSE). Markowitz model (1959) is the main idea which used to build up the optimal
portfolio in order to achieve the objective of maximizes the return and minimizes the risk. There are few
scenarios are considered in constructing the optimal portfolio, such as risk-free, taxes, transaction cost and
benchmark portfolio.
4. On the Markowitz mean-variance analysis of self-financing Portfolios

This paper extends the work of Markowitz (1952), Korkie and Turtle (2002) and others by first proving that
the traditional estimate for the optimal return of self-financing portfolios always overestimates from its
theoretic value. We further demonstrate the superiority of our proposed estimate over the traditional estimate
by simulation.
5. The Perfect Portfolio

Abstract: Nowadays investors have a large number of choices of how they can invest their money. One of
their biggest challenges is how to allocate their portfolio between equities, bonds and properties. It can only
be shown afterwards, which was the best allocation. That is why it is so popular to look at historical meanvariance to predict the future.
Last but not the least, the practical experiences of reliance money has given the best ever exposure
on the actually market works in financial products and services.

SUGGESTIONS:
The respondents being working professionals should be aware of requirement of various financial
proofs and tools like personal bank account, credit card, PAN Card, Demat account. A very low
percentage of respondents posses all kinds of financial documents.
The respondents are not feeling stock market as a trustable place to invest their savings. There
should be financial education made as a special requirement in the academic curriculum to male the
young generation have more knowledge about the markets and can decide what they want and where
they should invest their savings.
The respondents need to be given full disclosure about the details about various investment options
available to them and so they can decide themselves what is required and suitable to them.
The stock broking companies should conduct various awareness campaigns to make the general
investors aware of the situation of the market and various investment avenues available to them.
The stock broking companies should make fair dealings with the investors, use corporate
governance, social responsibility activities to win the trust of investors and show concerned interest
towards the inquiries of the investors.
Dont put your trust in only one investment. It is like putting all the eggs in one basket . This will
help reduce the risk in the long term.
Select your investments on economic grounds. Public knowledge is no advantage. Listen to rumors
and tips, check for yourself. The investor must select the right advisory body which is has sound
knowledge about the product which they are offering.
Professionalized advisory is the most important feature to the investors. Professionalized research,
analysis which will be helpful for reducing any kind of risk to overcome.
