This formula is for equally weighted portfolio of n securities each having equal variance and pairwise covariance.
As n increases to infinity, Portfolio Variance becomes equal to Covariance between a pair of securities.
So if we keep on increasing the number of securities, the variance keeps on decreasing.
Initially the diversification benefit i.e., reduction in portfolio variance increases at a higher rate as we increase number of securities and then at a slower rate

Please choose a letter answer and explain the answer please. According to the CAPM the expected return of a zero beta security is . the market rate of return zero a negative rate of return the risk-free rate The arbitrage pricing theory differs from the capital asset pricing model because the APT . places more emphasis on market risk minimizes the importance of diversification recognizes multiple unsystematic risk factor recognizes multiple systematic risk factors If you believe in...

a. Fama’s return decomposition has two main components –i)Risk and ii) Selectivity. Risk is further sub-divided into Investor’s Risk and Manager’s Risk. Selectivity is also sub-divided into Diversification and Net Selectivity. Explain in detail each element and what role do they play in decomposing portfolio performance. b. The following market and portfolio performance and risk characteristics are given below. Based on the information provided, calculate all four components of portfolio performance. Risk-free rate =2.5% Market return= 12% Market standard deviation...

"Minimizing Audit Risk" Please respond to the following: According to your textbook, auditors have to make judgments concerning materiality on every audit. Since the auditing standards give no formal guidance for how to determine materiality, auditors must rely on their own experience. Determine at least three (3) qualitative factors that affect the auditor's judgment. Provide a rationale for your response. According to the textbook, auditors rely on the audit risk formula to determine the types and amount of audit evidence...
