hello everyone hi welcome to the channel of WallStreetmojo or watch the video
[14]
till the end and also if you are new to this channel then you can subscribe us
[18]
by clicking the bell icon today we have a topic with ours is called portfolio
[22]
standard deviation now see portfolio standard deviation it measures the
[25]
expected variability in the rate of return of the portfolio and it is
[29]
determined based on the standard deviation of the return of each asset in
[32]
the portfolio you well this is just a dialog box that's written but we will
[37]
try and get incorporated with the whole concept unit very detailed format so
[42]
portfolio standard deviation now see portfolio standard deviation is the
[47]
standard deviation of the the rate of return on the investment portfolio
[55]
and is used to measure the inherent volatility of an investment so it
[59]
measures the investment risks okay and it helps the analyzing the stability of
[65]
the return of the portfolio so portfolio standard deviation is calculated based
[69]
on the standard deviation of the return of each asset is the portfolio so the
[73]
proportion of the each asset in the overall portfolio that has the
[76]
respective weights in the total portfolio and also the correlation
[80]
between each pair of the asset in the portfolio let's do some interpretation
[85]
part of the standard deviation of the portfolio see this helps in determining
[89]
the risk of the investment that is what we call as the expected the returns so a
[97]
high portfolio standard deviation highlights that you know the portfolio
[100]
risk the portfolio risk is high and return is more volatile in nature as
[107]
such you know the unstable as well so portfolio with a low standard deviation
[114]
the low SD the portfolio with the low standard deviation implies that you know
[120]
less volatility and more stability in terms of the returns of the portfolio
[127]
and it is very useful financial metric when comparing different portfolios
[130]
we'll go with an example part or to get more insight see let's say there's a guy
[137]
called John John had planned to invest a certain amount of money let's say in
[144]
let's say John plans to invest a certain amount of money every month in one of
[148]
the two funds which he is shortlisted for the investment purpose drop down
[152]
some particular details let's say the average return for last 3 years fund
[162]
A and fund B over here it comes down to 12% over here 12% and the standard
[173]
deviation has 814 so assuming the stability of the return is the most
[178]
important for John while making the investment and keeping one or the other
[182]
factors as constant we can easily see that both the funds are having in the
[187]
average rate of return closely standing at 12% okay so you know
[196]
fund a has standard deviation of let's say 8 DSD standing at 8 which means it's
[201]
average it and can vary between 4% to 28% right by adding
[207]
and subtracting it from the average it and on the other hand let's say fun B if
[212]
you see here a standard deviation of 14 which means that a return can vary
[217]
between -2 to 26% by adding and subtracting 14 from the average return
[223]
if you - here from 14 that is you know you need to deduct that
[229]
way so does based on on his risk appetite if John wishes to avoid
[235]
excessive exist volatility will prefer investment in fund compared to fund B
[241]
as it offers you know the same average return with a less amount of volatility
[246]
and more stability on the returns for you see 1212 but you know as HD less is
[251]
these more here but the standard deviation of the board for is important
[254]
as it helps you know analyzing the contribution of individual assets there
[259]
are two the portfolio standard deviation and is impacted by the correlation with
[262]
other assets in the portfolio and its proportion of the weight in the
[266]
portfolio okay now how to calculate the portfolio standard deviation okay we'll
[275]
try and understand this first we'll try and not down some some things you know
[280]
portfolio standard deviation calculation you know it's a multi-step process and
[285]
involves the like you know the formula basically so assuming that you know the
[289]
portfolio comprises of two assets only the standard deviation of the two asset
[294]
portfolio can be computed using the portfolio standard deviation formula let
[297]
me show you that this is the formula that you can use the standard deviation
[300]
of the portfolio there is a weight into standard deviation of a then weight into
[305]
standard deviation that is multiplication of B plus 2 into weight
[310]
of a into weight of B into either you can multiply covariance over here or
[316]
correlation into this is the covariance of a and B into standard deviation of a
[321]
into standard deviation of B so find the standard deviation of each of the
[325]
portfolio find the weight of the each portfolio which we require here okay and
[330]
weight of each asset in the overall portfolio and define the correlation
[335]
between them that is over here okay correlation of the assets in the above
[341]
case between the assets in the portfolio and correlation can vary between minus 1
[347]
to plus 1 so apply the values in the above-mentioned to derive the standard
[350]
deviation formula of the two asset portfolio
[358]
so let's understand the portfolio standard deviation calculation of the
[361]
three portfolio of the three as a portfolio with the help of an example
[365]
now calculating the portfolio standard deviation of the d3 asset portfolio is
[371]
will go something now this multi-step process how does
[375]
exactly works we'll try and understand this in a very detail format over here
[381]
there are three stocks you know flame this is let's say this is flame
[388]
international okay it's considering you know a portfolio comprising of three
[394]
stocks let's say A B and C and this is the brief Details of weights all they're
[401]
gonna invest the expected return they are expecting the and the standard
[406]
deviation the correlation between a and B a and C and B and C is available with
[411]
us so now for a three asset portfolio this can be computed by weight of a into
[419]
standard deviation of a weight of B into standard deviation of B rate of C into
[424]
standard deviation of C plus it remains the same - into W into WB into
[432]
covariance this is covariance of a and B into standard deviation of a and B plus
[439]
2 into W a in to see here the second one into the correlation of a and C that is
[445]
point 3 multiplied by standard deviation of a and C and then it goes with a B and
[452]
C that is weight of B weight of C + sorry you multiply that with the
[458]
correlation point - 1 5 and then the standard deviation of B and C that is 13%
[464]
and 15% so this is how you are going to compute your entire
[468]
value where you over here W a again I repeat and W B W C are the weights of
[473]
stock ABC respectively in the portfolio this k a k b and Casey are the standard
[479]
deviation that is you know Sigma over here of ABC and this RK a and RK c are
[486]
the correlation sorry not the covariance correlation between stock a and stock V
[492]
and a and C and B and C respectively okay so if you compute over here the
[499]
hole it should come closely around 15 to 18%
[503]
from the number it looks like so we know we see that you know standard
[508]
deviation of portfolio is closely around 15 to 18% despite you know the
[511]
individual asset in the portfolio there is there is having different level of
[515]
standard deviation that is stock a 24 stock B 18 and stock C 15%
[521]
due to the correlation between them in the portfolio so after taking
[526]
the example I want to finally conclude on this particular topic C standard
[531]
deviation of portfolio is important too and undoubtedly which helps in matching
[535]
the risk helps in matching the risk level of the portfolio with clients risk
[541]
appetite and its measures measures the total risk in the portfolio comprising
[544]
of both systematic and unsystematic risk now a larger standard deviation implies
[552]
that you know more volatility and more dispersion in the returns and does you
[556]
know more risky in the nature so it helps in measuring the what we call as
[560]
consistency in which the returns are generated and is a very good measure to
[565]
analyze the performance of the mutual fund and also the hedge funds returns
[570]
consistent however I know it is persistent in order to load that you
[574]
know the standard deviation is based out of the
[578]
historic data and past results may be predicted for the future results but
[583]
they may also change over time and therefore we know it can alter the
[588]
standard deviation so one should be more careful before making any investment
[592]
decisions based on the same so that's it for this particular topic after
[597]
discussing all the data regarding meaning interpretation a short example
[603]
we had gone a stepwise calculation of two standard deviation in three stocks
[608]
that is two stocks in three stocks calculation so that's it for this
[613]
