The purpose of this Interactive Qualifying Project is to discuss relevant topics of Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) and illustrate a practical application of the concept. I will review MPT history and definitions before entering more in-depth in the theory. After a holistic explanation of MPT, I will show my work and results obtained, and extract conclusions from them. Finally, I will expose some weaknesses and criticism towards the theory, propose future next steps to extend my work and provide a synthesis of the project as final words.
