Introduction : The portfolio risk is defined as the combination of assets which carries its own risk with each investment.
The standard deviation is used to determine that in which manner the values from a data set vary from its mean value. This is calculated by the square root of the variance.
The expected return is defined as the return which is obtained on the risky asset that is expected in future.
Correlation represents the relation between the two data sets. It shows that in which manner it corresponds to the changes in the value of alternate set. When the one data is increased and along with other is also increasing or vice-versa, then it is called as positive Correlation.
