They can be any financial assets (company shares are more common, but you can also choose market or sector indices although in real world they are not directly investable).您需要形成一個至少有兩種資產的投資組合。它們可以是任何金融資產（公司的股份是比較常見的，但你也可以選擇雖然在現實世界中，他們不能直接投資的市場或行業指數）。

 

Your report will include some analysis of the risk and return of each individual asset you have chosen but will mainly comprise analysis and comments on the risk management of your entire portfolio.您的報告將包括一些分析你所選擇的各單項資產的風險和回報，但將主要包括你的整個投資組合的風險管理分析和評論。

The above is not intended to be definitive / exhaustive but offers some guidance on issues you MAY address in your discussion. 

Marks will be awarded to students’ own analysis and discussion on the topic rather than simply rephrasing relevant theories. 

Your discussion should avoid quoting long passages taken directly from company reports / financial statements and other relevant researches. The focus of this work should be on the application of modern portfolio theory.

These are individual coursework. Although students can discuss their coursework, coursework by different students use the EXACT same numerical examples (i.e. same portfolio with same constituents and weights for the same period of time) will be treated as plagiarism.
