Overview: von Wertpapieren. Die Portefeuille-Theorie will nun erklären, wie ein Kapitalanieger sein Portefeuille strukturiert, um eine für ihn optimale Rendite-Risiko-Kombination zu realisieren.

Da­ bei soll das Risiko des Portefeuilles eventuell sogar unter das Risiko jedes einzelnen Wertpapieres sinken. Besteht das Portefeuille eines Kapitalanlegers beispielsweise aus Aktien zweier Betriebe, dert:.n Konjunktur entgegengesetzt verläuft
