Efficient frontier

Like the standard Markowitz presentation, the EV Asset Models’ efficient frontier describes the best risk-return tradeoff available. But unlike the Markowitz optimisation, the term structure of expected risk and return means that the efficient frontier is also term-dependent. The EV Asset Model captures this dependency, so asset allocations change with risk appetite and the investment term.

Change in efficient frontiers

The chart shows how the efficient frontier has moved over the past quarter.

The efficient frontier has moved upwards and rightwards on the back of the rise in rates which has boosted expected return with a smaller increase in expected risk.
