ABSTRACT

Background: While working as risk consultants at Barra in 1990’s, the first two authors decided to start collaborating on a research project with its first paper titled “Application of Volatility in Portfolio Construction” [1]. The third author was then a risk manager of a financial institution which was a client of Barra’s. Bringing his expertise in portfolio risk management, he joined the research team. Aim: The core of this paper lies in the construction of an investment portfolio with a main objective of value appreciation while examining its tracking error [1]-[3], a risk measurement with reference to a benchmark [1] [4]. The authors believe, while tracking error measurement is a common tool for portfolio risk management, total risk measurement is more important. The management goal is to minimize drawbacks using the technique of risk budgeting. These topics will be discussed in future research papers.
