A

Real Estate investment performance (p3):
Arithmetic Mean Return
AMR = Sum(HPR)/n
- a simple (non-compounded) average

Real Estate investment performance (p4):
The foundation for modern finance theory is the notion that:
- variability in asset returns represents ?
- ? over what could be earned on a ? investment represent the price of risk

A

Real Estate investment performance (p4):
The foundation for modern finance theory is the notion that:

Q

Diversification (p3):
Correlation = ? (x,y)/ (?x*?y)
(SD: standard deviation, sigma)
- Relative measure of movement
- Range of ? to ?
E.g., as the correlation approaches +1, two series are said to move very closely together.
In general, the further away the correlation away from +1, the ? the potential for portfolio risk reduction.
- Maximum risk reduction can be achieved when Correlation of ij = ?

A

Diversification (p3):
Correlation = Covariance (x,y)/ (SDx*SDy)
(SD: standard deviation, sigma)
- Relative measure of movement
- Range of +1 to -1
E.g., as the correlation approaches +1, two series are said to move very closely together.
In general, the further away the correlation away from +1, the greater the potential for portfolio risk reduction.
- Maximum risk reduction can be achieved when Correlation of ij = -1!
