strong growth of existing financial services firms and new entities entering the
market. The sector comprises commercial banks, insurance companies, non-banking
financial companies, co-operatives, pension funds, mutual funds and other smaller
financial entities. The banking regulator has allowed new entities such as payments
banks to be created recently thereby adding to the types of entities operating in the
sector. However, the financial sector in India is predominantly a banking sector with
commercial banks accounting for more than 64 per cent of the total assets held by
the financial system

THEORETICAL/CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK (LIVE PROJECT)
The theory of portfolio management describes the resulting risk and return of a
combination of individual assets. A primary objective of the theory is to identify
asset combinations that are efficient. Here, efficiency means the highest expected
rate of return on an investment for a specific level of risk. The primary starting point
for portfolio theory requires an assumption that investors are risk averse. This simply
means that they will not consider a portfolio with more risk unless it is accompanied
by a higher expected rate of return.
Modern portfolio theory was largely defined by the work of Harry
Markowitz (1927-) in a series of articles published in the late 1950s. This theory was
extended and refined by William Sharpe (1934-), John Lintner (1916 1983), James
Tobin (1918-), and others in the subsequent decades. Portfolio theory integrates the
process of efficient portfolio formation to the pricing of individual assets. It explains
that some sources of risk associated with individual assets can be eliminated, or
diversified away, by holding a proper combination of assets.
