Mean-Variance
Mean-variance analysis is the process of weighing the risk, expressed as variance, against expected return. Investors weigh how much risk they are willing to take on in exchange for different levels of reward. The mean-variance analysis allows investors to find the biggest reward at a given level of risk.
