Mean-Variance Analysis and CAPM Overview

This document summarizes a lecture on mean-variance analysis and the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). It begins by introducing mean-variance preferences and portfolio theory, including the efficient frontier. It then derives the CAPM using a simple model with quadratic utility functions. The lecture discusses the capital market line and security market line. It also covers modern derivations of the CAPM using projections, the pricing kernel, and the expectation kernel. The summary provides an overview of the key topics and models covered in the lecture.

Definition: Mean-Variance Dominance & Efficient Frontier


Asset (portfolio) A mean-variance dominates asset (portfolio) B if A B and A < or if A>Bwhile A B. Efficient frontier: loci of all non-dominated portfolios in the mean-standard deviation space. By definition, no (rational) mean-variance investor would choose to hold a portfolio not located on the efficient frontier.
