Modern portfolio theory is used by finance professionals as a measure to maximize a portfolio's expected return while minimizing its risk.  This Nobel winning concept was developed in the 1950s by Harry Markowitz.  Markowitz's theory explains that an investor may reduce risk in a portfolio by holding combinations of instruments that are not perfectly correlated.  Therefore, a diversified portfolio reduces portfolio risk.  

Every combination of assets within the portfolio are plotted by risk and expected return.  The plotted graph displays a left-shaped parabola called the efficient frontier.  The efficient frontier represents the outer most possible portfolios risk and return optimization.  Investors can use these portfolios to optimize their risk and return expectations with a given set of publically traded stocks.
