There are 6 companies which are off same industry. In terms of standard deviation (which
means the volatility of the investment) the more it is, the more it get deviate from the mean
(average) as a result there are more risk which might lower the stock of the company as a result
less profit. For example, here the greater risk is in ACIFORMULA (30.30%), then BXPHARMA
(12.10%), ORIONPHAR (11.81%), SQUARPHARMA (6.98%), KOHINOOR (4.80%) and at last
GLAXOSMITH (2.91%). But yet ACIFOMULA has highest returns of 14.69%, then BXPHARMA
(4.97%), then ORIONPHAR, SQUARPHARMA, GLAXOSMITH and at last KOHINOOR. This results
clearly explains the Efficient Market Hypothesis that- The higher the returns, the higher the
risks. But all the individual companies’ returns are below the Market Expected Return. The
portfolio beta also illustrates the same thing that risk is greater than the return. The portfolio
return is 14.30% whereas portfolio beta is 20.36%.
