- Portfolio construction (top-down) starts with asset allocation. For example, an individual who currently holds all of this money in a bank account would first decide what proportion of the overall portfolio ought to be moved into stocks, bonds, and so on. - While the average annual return on the common stock of large firms since 1926 has been about 12% per year, the average return on U.S. Treasury bills has been less than 4%. On the other hand, stocks are far riskier, with the annual returns that have ranged as low as -46% and as high as 55%. - In contrast, T-bills are effectively risk-free: we know what interest rate we will earn when we buy them.

Which would you rather have, an investment that yields 10% on average, but sometimes -10% and sometimes 30%, or an investment that yields 10% on average, but always varies between 5% and 15%? Most people would prefer the 2nd investment, because it is less risky ... yet both investments have 10% average. Riskier investments give higher yields, because people need to be offered something extra for the risk they are taking on. Options are risky, hence are higher yield.
