the riskiness of a financial asset is measured in terms of the riskiness of its cash flows. (2)The riskiness of an asset may be measured on a stand-alone basis or in a portfolio context. An asset may be very risky if held by itself but may be much less risky when it is a part of a large portfolio. (3)In the context of a portfolio‚ the risk of an asset is divided into two parts: diversifiable risk (unsystematic risk) and market risk (systematic risk). Diversifiable risk arises from company-specific
