ABSTRACTHow do investors efficiently allocate their wealth to different types of financial assets? Capital allocation or portfolio construction can be viewed as a sequence of two steps: (1) Selecting the portfolio composition of risky assets such as stocks and long-term bonds; and (2) deciding how much to invest in this risky portfolio versus risk-free assets such as treasury bills. As investors cannot allocate their  investment funds efficiently without knowing the expected returns and risk levels, identifying the risk-return trade-off becomes a fundamental issue. This master class introduces the basic ideas on capital allocation/portfolio construction that are developed by Nobel Price Laureates, Harry Markowitz and James Tobin.SPEAKER PROFILE Prof. Li JunyeAssociate Professor, Finance DepartmentFOR MORE INFORMATION, HEAD OVER TO ESSEC OPEN HOUSE MICROSITEPlease join us for our open house on 10 March 2018, Saturday(10 am to 5 pm) at our Asia-Pacific campus in one-north. Enjoy ESSEC goodies, food & drinks at the event!
