ERM Glossary: Efficient frontier

[this page | pdf | references | back links]

An efficient portfolio is one for which it is not possible to increase expected return without increasing risk or to reduce risk without reducing expected return. A range of portfolios may be efficient depending on the trade-off between risk and return that a particular investor might be happy to adopt. The efficient frontier is the line joining all efficient portfolios in risk-return space.
