Portfolio Selection Process through Markowitz Model

Dr. Ashvinkumar H. Solanki

Abstract :

As the economy grows, and grows more complex, the financial sector needs to keep pace. In comparison with the developed industrialized countries, the financial sector development of our country is relatively less, and there is a lot of scope for the growth of the financial sector in India. The market capitalization is considerably lower than US and Australian economies. The financial assets in the total assets in India was only 16.7 per cent in 2006–07. The proportion of shares and debentures in total assets declined from 1.7 in 1993–94 to 0.8 per cent in 200607. It clearly indicates that investment in financial assets tends to move towards fewer risky portfolios like bank deposits, government bonds and insurance funds. This vividly manifests that the investors tend to be risk averters.
