00:00.870 --> 00:06.300
In this video we will do the same as in the last video simulating one million random portfolios.

00:06.300 --> 00:09.080
But this time we were slightly wary.

00:09.120 --> 00:15.630
The most sensitive fact on our forecast the expected return of our six stocks and actually forecasting

00:15.630 --> 00:22.500
stock returns was a very difficult task and some experts would argue that you cannot forecast them at

00:22.530 --> 00:22.950
all.

00:23.250 --> 00:28.030
Nevertheless there exists a few approaches and methods how to make forecasts.

00:28.080 --> 00:34.390
However this is clearly beyond the scope of this course and in the end it's not an exact science.

00:34.470 --> 00:38.910
So variations of 2 3 or 4 percentage points that can happen easily.

00:39.420 --> 00:41.670
And that's exactly what we'll do in this video.

00:41.970 --> 00:46.890
So we were very aid each and every forecast that returned by 3 percentage points.

00:47.040 --> 00:53.390
And then we will have a look what happens to the efficient frontier and to the max Sharpe Rachel portfolio.

00:53.580 --> 01:01.210
And still we have implied that the summary constituents data frame and on the right hand side we have

01:01.330 --> 01:07.720
the expected returns for our first trial and now it's the second round.

01:08.200 --> 01:13.870
And we very late each expect that returned by three percentage points or families instead of having

01:13.870 --> 01:14.860
25 percent.

01:14.860 --> 01:22.210
We have 22 percent then for Boeing instead of having 15 we have 18 then for this NEI instead of 8 percent

01:22.210 --> 01:29.980
we have 11 and also for IBM we have eleven instead of eight then for Coca-Cola we take 7 percent instead

01:29.980 --> 01:31.100
of 10 percent.

01:31.330 --> 01:33.340
And finally for Microsoft.

01:33.400 --> 01:37.150
We predict that 12 percent instead of 15 percent.

01:37.150 --> 01:38.710
So we created the new column

01:41.470 --> 01:48.760
and one more time we calculate the expected return of one million portfolios by using here the DOT method

01:48.790 --> 01:58.730
on the expected return to her column and we pass again the transpose the weights matrix and then the

01:58.730 --> 02:05.960
next step the calculator the expected risk and also here we use the covariance matrix assuming that

02:05.960 --> 02:11.850
the the variances then to the covariance is off for the past also persist in the future.

02:11.870 --> 02:14.990
So even if we changed here the expected returns.

02:14.990 --> 02:20.450
So the expected risks of our 1 million portfolios do not change.

02:20.600 --> 02:23.210
So this remains unchanged.

02:23.210 --> 02:31.010
And then we also calculate these sharp ratio and we create a summary to data frame with the columns

02:31.010 --> 02:32.950
return risk and Sharpe Ratio

02:36.910 --> 02:42.810
so here we have 1 million portfolios and again we can visualize them.

02:42.820 --> 02:51.840
And this time we create the risk return cloud for our summary to data frame as well as for our first

02:51.840 --> 02:56.300
trial with uh the different return forecasts.

02:56.370 --> 03:05.250
So we have our initial portfolios in red color and now our new portfolios based on our revised the return

03:05.250 --> 03:09.330
forecasts in blue color and let's have a look here

03:15.450 --> 03:20.820
and here we can see the efficient frontier of our first trial and red and the efficient frontier based

03:20.820 --> 03:24.080
on our revised the return expectations in blue.

03:24.480 --> 03:27.510
And secondly a significant difference here.

03:27.930 --> 03:32.880
So we only changed it's an area of return expectations by 3 percentage points.

03:33.450 --> 03:41.250
But this makes actually a huge difference and we can also analyze our revised summary to data frame.

03:41.850 --> 03:46.690
So the max Sharpe ratio has now a sharp ratio of four point eight two.

03:46.710 --> 03:50.730
And we can also search the max Sharpe race for portfolio.

03:50.970 --> 03:56.450
It's with the indexed label eight hundred twelve thousand four hundred fifty two.

03:56.550 --> 04:00.060
And we can also select the max Sharpe Ratio portfolio.

04:00.060 --> 04:05.400
So we have a return of sixteen point eighty three percent and a risk of 18 percent.

04:05.400 --> 04:13.350
And we can compare this to our farmer Max drop rates or portfolio so the difference is actually not

04:13.530 --> 04:14.850
too substantial.

04:14.850 --> 04:20.320
So our farmer Max operational portfolio showed a return of sixteen point one.

04:20.480 --> 04:24.530
And he and our revised the portfolio we have sixteen point eight.

04:24.750 --> 04:28.140
And also the risk is here a slight slightly higher.

04:28.140 --> 04:35.010
But to sum it up to a risk and return of our max operator our portfolio did not change substantially.

04:35.550 --> 04:42.330
However let's have a look at the debates of our new Max Sharpe Ratio portfolio and that's create a panda

04:42.330 --> 04:42.890
series.

04:42.900 --> 04:46.980
So that's the weights of our new Max Sharpe Ratio portfolio.

04:47.340 --> 04:53.720
And let's compare those weights to our farmer Max Sharpe Ratio portfolio and we can see that the weight

04:53.720 --> 04:59.810
of Amazon decrease the slightly from 35 percent to 29 percent.

04:59.810 --> 05:08.720
Then we can see that the weight of the Boeing stock increased substantially from 18 percent to 53 percent

05:09.560 --> 05:17.840
and also the weight of the DNA and the IBM stock significantly increased from actually 0 or 1 percent

05:17.840 --> 05:20.330
to 10 and 7 percent.

05:20.420 --> 05:27.950
And in contrast that the weight off the Coca-Cola stock significantly decreased from 45 percent to 9

05:27.950 --> 05:29.210
percent.

05:29.210 --> 05:35.360
And finally for the Microsoft stock we can see only a little change in the weight but as a summary we

05:35.360 --> 05:43.140
can say that to be only slightly changed our return expectations and also the performance of the max

05:43.140 --> 05:48.680
Sharpe Ratio portfolio in terms of risk and return did not change substantially.

05:48.710 --> 05:54.410
However the rates in our max Sharpe racial portfolio those changed substantially.

05:54.920 --> 05:58.860
And that's another pitfall of using forecast that portfolios.

05:59.210 --> 06:04.910
So the best are the optimal portfolios and the rates and the best and optimal portfolios are highly

06:04.910 --> 06:12.200
sensitive to the return forecasts and this pretty much reduces the practical ability of this approach

06:12.200 --> 06:13.460
here.

06:13.460 --> 06:13.850
All right.

06:13.850 --> 06:20.330
We are finished with this video and then the next video we will summarize the pitfalls of using a forecast

06:20.330 --> 06:22.600
that portfolios for asset allocation.

06:22.940 --> 06:24.770
So hope to see also there by.
