4 Modern Portfolio Theory [MPT] Harry Markowitz 1952/1959 Volatility = Risk Mathematical model/proof showing that diversification could reduce volatility (risk) Efficient Frontier Underlying assumption: Correlation is the key-- assets in a portfolio should NOT be chosen on their own individual merits, but rather in consideration of how their changes in price (volatility) relate to the other assets in the portfolio.
5 Efficient Frontier
6 Efficient Market Hypothesis Eugene Fama 1960s PhD. Thesis for University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Republished and refined in 1970 Weak prices already reflect all past publicly available information Semi-Strong prices reflect all publicly available information AND instantly change to reflect new information Strong prices also instantly reflect all private/insider information
7 Capital Asset Pricing Model [CAPM] Bill Sharpe (among others) 1964 Defines volatility (risk) as beta Mathematical model for individual asset pricing (beta coefficient)

17 The Investment Policy Statement Any organization that has assets to invest should also have appropriate policies to guide these investments. One set of policies does not fit every organization but each organization needs to define its own goals and understand its own fiduciary responsibilities. Here is a list of the basic points to cover. Any investment policies should be developed with the advice of a financial professional or be reviewed by legal counsel define general objectives (preserve and protect the assets; achieve aggressive growth) delegate day-to-day asset management to an independent finance committee or a professional manager set asset allocation parameters (include diversification) describe asset quality (itemize quality ratings for stocks, bonds, or short-term reserves based on your risk tolerance) define the investment manager's accountability (include risk in transactions, social responsibility, reporting requirements, and coverage of cash flow needs) establish a system for regular review of the policies Thomas A. McLaughlin, Financial Committees (BoardSource 2004). Robert P. Frye, Jr., Minding the Money: An Investment Guide for Nonprofit Board Members (BoardSource 2004).
