portfolio variance

uses asset covariance and weight to calculate the portfolio return variance.

σp2=wTΣw\sigma_p^2=w^{T}\Sigma w

symbols, variables and units

w: weight vector; Σ: return covariance matrix at the same time scale; σ_p²: return squared.

applicable conditions and boundaries

Historical covariance may not represent the future; the definition of income and time frequency need to be unified.
