This document discusses using Roy's identity to derive an equation for the variance of a portfolio. It starts with two base equations and then derives a third equation by equating them. It then substitutes the results into the original variance equation to arrive at a formula expressing portfolio variance as a weighted average of the variances and covariances of the assets.
