Diversification in Portfolio Risk Management: The Case of the UAE Financial Market
Ikhlaas Gurrib and Saad Alshahrani
Abstract—The paper looks at the existence of portfolio risk
management for the UAE Financial Market. The research
methodology centers on applying Modern Portfolio Theory,
with particular emphasis on the Markowitz Efficient Frontier,
Minimum Variance Analysis, and Portfolio Optimization. The
data is essentially based on the top performing sectors of the
UAE economy, and twenty key companies are chosen from each
sector to test for diversification. Key findings suggest that the
risk of the portfolio is lower than the weighted risk of the twenty
individual stocks, i.e. efficient diversification can be achieved.
Index Terms—Efficient diversification, portfolio optimization, UAE financial market.
