- Suppose that stocks are exposed to systematic risks only so that stock i has the following return structure: Ri,t = mį + Si,t where mi is the average return, and si,t is the systematic risk. When we construct a portfolio including more and more stocks, which of the following would happen? The portfolio volatility gradually decreases and eventually converges to a certain positive value. ● The portfolio volatility gradually decreases and eventually converges to zero. The portfolio volatility stays unchanged.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding the graph of the SML is most accurate? Select one O A. O B.
