covariances when i=j‚ and ρij=1. You can calculate the portfolio variance in the spreadsheet in many different ways. The way I do it is to first calculate the variance/covariance matrix‚ σρσ whose entries are σiσjρij and σi2. To this end‚ we first construct the standard deviation (std) matrix and the correlation matrix‚ as shown in the spreadsheet. Then‚ first multiple the std matrix to the correlation matrix to obtain σρ (multiply the range of b3..g8 to the range of b10..g15). Then‚ multiple
