== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Portfolio Theory''' β A theory on how risk-averse investors can construct portfolios to maximize expected return based on a given level of market risk. * '''Diversification''' β The process of investing in a wide variety of assets to reduce exposure to any single risk. * '''Risk (Volatility)''' β The chance that an investment's actual return will be different than expected (measured by Standard Deviation). * '''Expected Return''' β The average amount an investor expects to receive from an investment. * '''Correlation''' β A measure of how much two assets move together (1.0 means they are identical; -1.0 means they move in opposite directions). * '''Efficient Frontier''' β The set of portfolios that offer the highest return for a specific level of risk. * '''Systematic Risk (Market Risk)''' β The "Unavoidable" risk that affects the whole market (e.g., a war or a global recession). * '''Unsystematic Risk (Specific Risk)''' β The risk that affects only one company (e.g., a CEO getting fired). * '''Beta ($\beta$)''' β A measure of how much an individual stock moves compared to the overall market. * '''Sharpe Ratio''' β A measure of "Risk-Adjusted Return"; how much extra profit are you getting for every unit of risk you take? * '''Asset Allocation''' β The split between different types of assets (e.g., 60% Stocks, 40% Bonds). * '''Rebalancing''' β Periodically selling "winners" and buying "losers" to maintain your target asset allocation. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
