Index Models Chapter 10
Advantages of the Single Index Model • Reduces the number of inputs for diversification. • Easier for security analysts to specialize.
Single Factor Model ri = E(Ri) + ßiF + e ßi = index of a securities’ particular return to the factor F= some macro factor; in this case F is unanticipated movement; F is commonly related to security returns Assumption: a broad market index like the S&P500 is the common factor.
Single Index Model a (ri - rf)= i + ßi(rm - rf)+ ei Risk Prem Market Risk Prem or Index Risk Prem a = the stock’s expected return if the market’s excess return is zero i (rm - rf)= 0 ßi(rm - rf)= the component of return due to movements in the market index ei = firm specific component, not due to market movements
Risk Premium Format Let: Ri = (ri - rf) Risk premium format Rm = (rm - rf) Ri = i + ßi(Rm)+ ei

Components of Risk • Market or systematic risk: risk related to the macro economic factor or market index. • Unsystematic or firm specific risk: risk not related to the macro factor or market index. • Total risk = Systematic + Unsystematic
Measuring Components of Risk i2 = i2m2 + 2(ei) where; i2 = total variance i2m2 = systematic variance 2(ei) = unsystematic variance
Examining Percentage of Variance Total Risk = Systematic Risk + Unsystematic Risk Systematic Risk/Total Risk = 2 ßi2 m2/ 2 = 2 i2m2/i2m2 + 2(ei) = 2

Industry Prediction of Beta • Merrill Lynch Example • Use returns not risk premiums • a has a different interpretation • a = a + rf (1-b) • Forecasting beta as a function of past beta • Forecasting beta as a function of firm size, growth, leverage etc.
