The Portfolio Variance with Two Assets calculator computes the portfolio variance of securities.

INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:

  • (AW1) This is weight of asset 1.
  • (AV1) This is the variance of asset 1.
  • (AW2) This is weight of asset 2.
  • (AV2) This is the variance of asset 2.
  • (CV) This is the covariance of the two assets.

Portfolio Variance with Two Assets (PV): The calculator returns the variance.

The Math / Science

The formula for Portfolio Variance with Two Assets is:

    PV=(AW12AV1+AW22AV2)+2AV1AV2CVPV=(AW12AV1+AW22AV2)+2AV1AV2CV

where:

  • PV = Portfolio Variance
  • AW1 = weight of asset 1.
  • AV1 = variance of asset 1.
  • AW2 = weight of asset 2.
  • AV2 = variance of asset 2.
  • CV = covariance of the two assets.
