| Abstract: | A set of graphs clearly demonstrates the benefits of diversification in the UK stock market for the period 1955 to 1984. The study considers portfolio sizes ranging from 1 to 100 securities and finds that benefits from diversification continue as the size of portfolios increases above ten stocks. The stability of diversification benefits and cross-sectional distributions is explored by comparing results for six five-year subsets. Benefits are found to be fairly stable. Authors examine also historical distribution of portfolio mean returns and variances and the portfolio diversification effect for a period from 1955 to 1984. |
