Modern portfolio theory as a book category covers the principles, models, and practical applications of constructing and managing investment portfolios to optimize the risk–return tradeoff. Titles in this genre range from foundational texts on mean–variance optimization, the efficient frontier, CAPM and Markowitz’s work to advanced treatments of multi-factor models, portfolio construction algorithms, risk management metrics, and empirical tests of asset pricing. Books may be mathematical textbooks for students, technical monographs for quantitative practitioners, or practitioner guides that translate theory into asset-allocation strategies, software implementations, and case studies; many also discuss critiques and extensions (behavioral finance, post‑MPT models, and real‑world constraints). Overall the category is aimed at readers interested in systematic, model-based approaches to diversification, performance measurement, and investment decision making.
