1 Factor Models The Markowitz mean-variance framework requires having access to many parameters: If there are n risky assets‚ with rates of return ri ‚ i = 1‚ 2‚ . . . ‚ n‚ then we must know 2 all the n means (ri )‚ n variances (σi ) and n(n − 1)/2 covariances (σij ) for a total of 2n + n(n − 1)/2 parameters. If for example n = 100 we would need 4750 parameters‚ and if n = 1000 we would need 501‚ 500 parameters! At best we could try to estimate these‚ but how? In fact‚ it is easy to see
