Risk–Return Analysis

Abstract: A risk–return analysis analyzes the trade‐off of some measure of risk and some measure of return. Almost universally, the measure of return used is the mean or expected value. Various measures of risk have been proposed including variance (or, equivalently, standard deviation), semivariance (which is the same as variance, but only considers the downside), absolute deviation, and probability of loss. This article considers the merits of each, how trade‐off curves (also known as efficient frontiers … Show more
