Video Production Brief
This lesson is scripted for a rendered Remotion cut. The page below shows the voiceover and animation beats that should drive production.
Lesson Script
0:00-0:15
Hook
Visual
Open on the common miss pattern, then isolate the decision the candidate must make under time pressure.
Voiceover
If assuming more assets always means lower risk, this topic starts to feel bigger than it is. We are going to make the decision visible.
0:15-0:40
Visual Model
Visual
Scattered asset dots flow into a portfolio sphere while risk bands compress or expand with correlation.
Voiceover
First, build the picture. The goal is to see the moving parts before trying to memorize the rule.
0:40-1:05
High-Yield Pass
Visual
Highlight the two highest-payoff ideas and remove the details that do not change the answer.
Voiceover
Low correlation creates diversification benefit Then Portfolio risk depends on weights, individual risk, and co-movement
1:05-1:30
Trap Lab
Visual
Show two tempting answer paths, cross out the flawed one, and leave the reliable rule path on screen.
Voiceover
The tempting wrong answer usually comes from ignoring correlation sign and magnitude. We will name that trap before solving.
1:30-1:55
Repair Drill
Visual
End with one short drill prompt, a pause, and a clean reveal of the answer logic.
Voiceover
Your repair rep after this lesson is simple: rank three portfolios by diversification benefit.
Lesson Objective
Make diversification visible so correlation questions become intuitive.
Visual Teaching Plan
Scattered asset dots flow into a portfolio sphere while risk bands compress or expand with correlation.
High-Yield Map
- Low correlation creates diversification benefit.
- Portfolio risk depends on weights, individual risk, and co-movement.
- Not all risk can be diversified away.
Common Traps
- Assuming more assets always means lower risk.
- Ignoring correlation sign and magnitude.
- Confusing total risk with systematic risk.
Repair Drills
- Rank three portfolios by diversification benefit.
- Explain why correlation matters more than asset count alone.
