Standard deviation; correlation coefficient
The measure of risk for an asset in a diversified portfolio is greatly dependent on the type of asset it is. And to narrow it down further, the name of the asset is vital to a complete answer. The best answer on the information provided is what percentage of the portfolio does the asset comprise of the portfolio.
The symbol for First Trust International Multi-Asset Diversified Income Index in NASDAQ is: YDIV.
Having a number of different asset classes in the portfolio. Asset classes include stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities and cash equivalents.
Maturity of asset in portfolio is larger than the maturity of liabilities in the portfolio
The portfolio consists of four stock: A, B, risk-free asset and the market. The weights will be 0.25 each and the portfolio beta = (0.25 x 0.8) + (0.25 x 1.2) + (0.25 x 0) + (0.25 x1) = 0.75 Akshita Mehta

beta
The total risk of a single asset is measured by the standard deviation of return on asset. Standard deviation is the square root of variance. To measure variance, you must have some distribution/ possibility of asset returns. However, the relevant risk of a single asset is the systematic risk, not the total risk. Systematic risk is the risk that cannot be diversified away in a portfolio. Systematic risk of an asset is measured by the Beta. Beta can be found using Regression (between market return and asset's return) or Covariance formula.
Security A is less risky if held in a diversified portfolio because of its negative correlation with other stocks. In a single-asset portfolio, Security A would be more risky because sA> sBand CVA > CVB.
