ANALYSING RISK AND RETURN PROFILES OF SELECTED COMPANIES IN NIFTY

This study aims to analyse the risk and return profiles of selected companies in the Nifty 50 index, a benchmark of the Indian equity market. The research focuses on evaluating the performance of these companies through key financial metrics such as returns, standard deviation, beta, and Sharpe ratio, with the goal of understanding their risk-adjusted returns over a specified period. A quantitative approach is employed using historical price data, allowing for the assessment of both systematic and unsystematic risks. The relationship between risk and return is examined through various statistical tools. The findings provide insights into the volatility of individual companies compared to the broader market index, offering investors valuable information for portfolio diversification and risk management strategies. Ultimately, the study contributes to understanding how market fluctuations impact the risk-return trade-off in the Indian equity market.
