In this paper we show how a Bayesian network can be used to represent a traditional financial model of portfolio return. Then we show how expert subjective judgement can be included in the Bayesian network model. The output of the model is the posterior marginal probability distribution of the portfolio return. This posterior return distribution can be used to obtain expected return, return variance, and value-at-risk.
