Efficient surface
|
|
Efficient surfaceThe set of portfolios that result from investor's preference for higher means, lower variance and higher (positive) skewness. The efficient surface is analogous (in three dimensions, mean, variance and skewness) to the efficient frontier (in two dimensions, mean and variance).
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------

Lower
To decrease (a price, tax rate, interest rate, etc.).
Variance
Is a measure of volatility, risk, or statistical dispersion. It is the square of the standard deviation.
Skewness
Negative skewness means there is a substantial probability of a big negative return. Positive skewness means that there is a greater-than-normal probability of a big positive return.
