46 Capital Allocation Line

This video explains the fundamental relationship between risk and return in a portfolio that combines risky and risk-free assets. We visualize this relationship on a graph, using standard deviation for risk on the horizontal axis and return on the vertical axis. The video demonstrates how to plot the risk-free asset and a composite risky asset, and then shows how any combination of these two assets creates a linear capital allocation line. Adjusting the weights of these assets allows investors to control their portfolio's risk and return, with the slope of this line being determined by the Sharpe ratio.
