A portfolio with 10 randomly selected stocks from U. S. and international markets. A portfolio with 10 randomly selected international stocks. A portfolio with 10 randomly selected U. S. stocks. Portfolio managers pick stocks for their clients’ portfolios based on the investment objective of the portfolio and several other factors.

Based on your understanding of portfolio risk, identify whether each statement is true or false. Statement True False When returns on Stock A increase, returns on Stock B also increase. In general, this would mean that Stocks A and B are positively correlated. The market risk component of the total portfolio risk can be reduced by randomly adding stocks to the portfolio. The risk in a portfolio will increase if more stocks that are negatively correlated with other stocks are added to the portfolio. A portfolio’s risk is not equal to the weighted average of the individual stocks’ standard deviations.
