Introducing the statistics of risk
In this module, you will gain insights on how to measure the risk of an asset and an asset portfolio. The module begins by exploring the concept of risk and the way in which risk affects a portfolio. Then, you’ll learn more about the key statistics involved, like the variance and covariance. The module takes a small detour thereafter, to explain the concept of matrices, before discussing the variance and covariance matrix, the correlation matrix and the variance of a portfolio. You then get to know how to decode the expected returns, estimate the portfolio range and optimize a portfolio to manage risk. The module then discusses Value at Risk (VAR) before exploring two ways of risk management, namely avoiding and reducing risk.
