What we did--the core theoretical framework that we had-- was the mean variance theory, which led us to the capital asset pricing model.

我们讲到了投资组合多元化的核心理论框架,即均值-方差模型,之后又讲到了资本资产定价模型

In fact, I have it--suppose we have three assets and we want to compute the efficient portfolio frontier, the mean and variance of the portfolio.

事实上，假如我们拥有三种资产,我们想计算有效边界，及投资组合的均值和方差。

But, in between, if some other number, it'll be some blend of the--mean and variance of--the portfolio will be some blend of the mean and variance of the two assets.

但如果是在0和1之间的其他数值，这个投资组合的均值和方差将会是,两项资产各自的均值和方差的综合结果。

What we want to do now is compute the mean and variance of the portfolio-- or the mean and standard deviation, since standard deviation is the square root of the variance-- for different combinations of the portfolios.

我们现在要做的是,计算这个投资组合的均值和方差-,或者均值和标准差，因为标准差的平方就等于方差-,这对任何投资组合都是一样的。

Now, underlying our theory is the idea that we measure the outcome of your investment in your portfolio by the mean of the return on the portfolio and the variance of the return on the portfolio.

而理论的基础是,我们通过计算,组合收益率的均值，和组合收益率的方差,来衡量一个投资组合的优劣。

x1 The portfolio mean and variance will depend on x1 x1=1 in the way that if you put--if you made x1 = 1, it would be asset 1 x1=0 and if you made x1 = 0, then it would be the same as asset 2 returns.

投资组合的均值和方差取决于1,如果你令，投资组合的均值方差就与第一项资产相等1,如果你令，那么它们就会与第二项资产的参数相等。
