  1. Chapter 7 Portfolio Theory and Other Asset Pricing Models

  2. Topics in Chapter • Portfolio Theory • Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) • Capital Market Line (CML) • Security Market Line (SML)

  3. Efficient Set Expected Portfolio Return, rp Feasible Set Risk, p Feasible and Efficient Portfolios

  4. Feasible and Efficient Portfolios • The feasible set of portfolios represents all portfolios that can be constructed from a given set of stocks. • An efficient portfolio is one that offers: • the most return for a given amount of risk, or • the least risk for a give amount of return. • The collection of efficient portfolios is called the efficient set or efficient frontier.

  6. Indifference Curves • Indifference curves reflect an investor’s attitude toward risk as reflected in his or her risk/return tradeoff function. They differ among investors because of differences in risk aversion. • An investor’s optimal portfolio is defined by the tangency point between the efficient set and the investor’s indifference curve.

  7. What is the CAPM? • The CAPM is an equilibrium model that specifies the relationship between risk and required rate of return for assets held in well-diversified portfolios. • It is based on the premise that only one factor affects risk. • What is that factor?

  8. What impact does rRF have onthe efficient frontier? • When a risk-free asset is added to the feasible set, investors can create portfolios that combine this asset with a portfolio of risky assets. • The straight line connecting rRF with M, the tangency point between the line and the old efficient set, becomes the new efficient frontier.

  10. What is the Capital Market Line? • The Capital Market Line (CML) is all linear combinations of the risk-free asset and Portfolio M. • Portfolios below the CML are inferior. • The CML defines the new efficient set. • All investors will choose a portfolio on the CML.

  12. What does the CML tell us? • The expected rate of return on any efficient portfolio is equal to the risk-free rate plus a risk premium. • The optimal portfolio for any investor is the point of tangency between the CML and the investor’s indifference curves.

  14. What is the Security Market Line (SML)? • The CML gives the risk/return relationship for efficient portfolios. • The Security Market Line (SML), also part of the CAPM, gives the risk/return relationship for individual stocks.

  15. The SML Equation • The measure of risk used in the SML is the beta coefficient of company i, bi. • The SML equation: ri = rRF + (RPM) bi

  16. How are betas calculated? • Run a regression line of past returns on Stock i versus returns on the market. • The regression line is called the characteristic line. • The slope coefficient of the characteristic line is defined as the beta coefficient.

  17. CAPM Required Return for Stock i CAPM: ri = rRF + (rM - rRF)bi ri = 6.8% + (6.3%)(0.9) = 12.47%
