Creating Profitable Portfolios

With the modern portfolio approach in the 1950s, the concept of portfolio risk gained importance alongside expected returns. As a result, portfolio selection models that enable the creation of profitable portfolios based on both expected returns and risk emerged.

In this course, we will cover two important portfolio creation methods. The first is the Mean-Variance method proposed by Harry Markowitz, which outlines the modern portfolio approach. The second is the Black-Litterman model, which allows investors to incorporate their return views on financial assets into the portfolio selection model. After a brief explanation of each model's logic, you will learn how to easily create effective and profitable portfolios using Excel and Riskolog applications. By the end of this course, you will be able to create your portfolios according to these methods and learn how to evaluate your portfolios based on performance criteria and comparison benchmarks. Whether you have never managed your portfolio before, this course is designed to provide you with easily applicable portfolio management strategies!
