What Is Modern Portfolio Theory? (Series 7 and Series 65 Exam)
Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) says the goal is to build a diversified portfolio — not just pick individual winners. By combining assets with low correlation, you can reduce unsystematic (company-specific) risk without sacrificing return. MPT is a core concept tested on both the Series 7 and Series 65 exams.
