dear all, can someone please explain the exact meaning of the above expression?
In the absence of any correlation in market dynamics across lines of business and with a number of lines of business proportional to size, one should expect to see the variance **fall with the square root of size**.
does this mean "in proportion to" the square root of size?
thanks :-)
