  1. Chapter 8 Index Models and the Arbitrage Pricing Theory

  2. Chapter Summary • Objective: To discuss the nature and illustrate the use of arbitrage. To introduce the index model and the APT. • The Single Index Model • The Arbitrage Pricing Theory

  3. The Single Index Model Advantages: • Reduces the number of inputs for diversification • Easier for security analysts to specialize Drawback: • the simple dichotomy rules out important risk sources (such as industry events)

  4. Single Factor Model ßi = index of a security’s 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

  5. Single Index Model ai = stock’s expected return if market’s excess return is zero bi(rM-ri) = the component of return due to market movements ei = the component of return due to unexpected firm-specific events

  6. Let: Ri = (ri - rf) Risk premium format Rm = (rm - rf) Ri = i + ßiRm + ei Risk Premium Format

  7. 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

  8. Measuring Components of Risk i2 = total variance i2m2= systematic variance 2(ei)= unsystematic variance

  9. Examining Percentage of Variance Total Risk = Systematic +Unsystematic

  15. Industry Prediction of Beta • BMO Nesbitt Burns and Merrill Lynch examples • BMO NB uses returns not risk premiums • a has a different interpretation: a + rf (1-b) • Merill Lynch’s ‘adjusted b’ • Forecasting beta as a function of past beta • Forecasting beta as a function of firm size, growth, leverage etc.

  16. Multifactor Models • Use factors in addition to market return • Examples include industrial production, expected inflation etc. • Estimate a beta for each factor using multiple regression • Chen, Roll and Ross • Returns a function of several macroeconomic and bond market variables instead of market returns • Fama and French • Returns a function of size and book-to-market value as well as market returns

  17. Summary Reminder • Objective: To discuss the nature and illustrate the use of arbitrage. To introduce the index model and the APT. • The Single Index Model • The Arbitrage Pricing Theory

  18. Arbitrage Pricing Theory Arbitrage - arises if an investor can construct a zero investment portfolio with a sure profit • Since no investment is required, an investor can create large positions to secure large levels of profit • In efficient markets, profitable arbitrage opportunities will quickly disappear

  19. Arbitrage Example (pp. 293-295)

  20. Arbitrage Portfolio

  21. E(r) P 25.83 D 22.25 s 6.40 8.58 Arbitrage Action and Returns Action: Short 3 shares of D and buy 1 of A, B & C to form portfolio P Returns: You earn a higher rate on the investment than you pay on the short sale

  22. APT & Well-Diversified Portfolios • F is some macroeconomic factor • For a well-diversified portfolio eP approaches zero • The result is similar to CAPM

  23. E(r)(%) E(r)(%) F F Individual Security Portfolio Portfolio & Individual Security Comparison

  24. E(r)% 10 A D 7 6 C Risk Free = 4 .5 1.0 Beta for F Disequilibrium Example

  25. Disequilibrium Example • Short Portfolio C • Use funds to construct an equivalent risk higher return Portfolio D • D is comprised of A & Risk-Free Asset • Arbitrage profit of 1%

  26. E(r) M [E(rM) - rf] Market Risk Premium Risk Free 1.0 Beta (Market Index) APT with Market Index Portfolio

  27. APT and CAPM Compared • APT applies to well diversified portfolios and not necessarily to individual stocks • With APT it is possible for some individual stocks to be mispriced - not lie on the SML • APT is more general in that it gets to an expected return and beta relationship without the assumption of the market portfolio • APT can be extended to multifactor models
