father of “Modern Portfolio theory”‚ developed the mean-variance analysis‚ which focuses on creating portfolios of assets that minimizes the variance of returns i.e. risk‚ given a level of desired return‚ or maximizes the returns given a level of risk tolerance. This theory aids the process of portfolio construction by providing a quantitative take on it. It integrates the field of quantitative analysis with portfolio management. Mean variance analysis has found wide applications both inside and outside
