Abstract

The study aims at examining the relation between return and risk of shares listed on the HCMC Stock Exchange (HOSE). Data for the study include series of VN-Index and stock prices of 80 shares listed on the HOSE gathered on a weekly basis from Jan. 2, 2007 to Dec. 31, 2009. The results based on the regression method show that the riskier the portfolio, the higher the return ; and a non-linear relation between return and risk of these shares does exist
