Monash University Partners Healthcare System Analysis Case Study Partners Healthcare provides you with an intuitive and geometric introduction (or hopefully recap) to mean variance analysis, and the opportunity to see how optimal portfolio analysis based upon mean variance theory can be employed to help allocate portfolio capital across risky asset classes.
