  1. Risk & Return Return is what makes you eat well Risk is what makes you sleep well

  2. Our goal is to understand... r

  3. Recall that ’r’ has many names.... • Interest rate • Rate of return / Required rate of return • stocks • Yield / Yield to maturity • Bonds • (Opportunity) cost of capital • Capital budgeting

  4. ‘r’ compensates investors for.. • Impatience! Time Value of Money • people rather have things now than later • Risk! • investors dislike uncertainty

  5. Expected vs. Realized returns • 60 - 40 chance that return on Microsoft next year will be +25% OR -10%. • Expected return is _____% • The actual return will be either ____ or ____

  6. Surprises.... • Surprise, after the fact, in return is either+14% = (25% - 11%) or-21% = (-10% - 11%)Actual return = E(r) + unexpected return e.g. -10% = 11% - 21% • Investors don’t like surprises

  7. What is the expected surprise? • multiply probability times each surprise • Answer = _____ • Expected surprise is always ____ !!! • Trick: take expected squared surprises

  8. Variance • Expectation of squared surprises is called Variance • Square root of variance is called Standard deviation • Easier to understand • Calculate variance and std. dev. of Microsoft returns

  9. Microsoft... • Variance:.6 (.25 - .11)2 + .4 (-.1 - .11)2 = _____ • Standard Deviation:SQRT(____) = ____ • Standard deviation is easier to interpret • Has the same units as return (%)

  10. Variance / Std. Dev. Formulae

  11. Another example.. pi ri Probability Return inState of Economy of state state +1% change in GNP .25 -5% +2% change in GNP .50 15% +3% change in GNP .25 35%

  12. Expected Return i (pi x ri) i = 1 -0.0125 i = 2 0.075 i = 3 0.0875 Expected return = (-0.0125 + 0.0750 + 0.0875) = 0.15 or 15%

  13. Variance i pi (ri - r)2 pi x (ri - r )2 i=1 .25 .04 .01 i=2 .5 0 .00 i=3 .25 .04 .01 Var(R) = Std. Dev. = ___

  14. Std. Dev. of selected stocks

  15. Total Risk • Standard Deviation (or variance) is a measure of total risk • It gives us an idea of how likely one is likely to get ‘burned’ if he/she invests in any single stock or portfolio of stocks

  16. The Normal Distribution

  17. Historical Returns and Standard Deviations

  18. Value of a $1 investment

  19. What do you notice? • From the previous two graphs, we notice that... • The _________ the standard deviation, the ___________ is the value of a $1 investment in the long run • In general, the _______ the risk, the _______ the return!

  20. Five Largest One-Day Percentage Declines in the Dow-Jones Industrial Average The Five Worst Days Date Point Loss % Loss October 19, 1987 508.00 22.6% October 28, 1929 38.88 12.8 October 29, 1929 30.57 11.7 November 6, 1929 25.55 9.9 December 18, 1899 5.57 8.7

  21. Market-wide info. War Oil shock Rise in interest rate Exchange rate changes Asset-specific info Strikes Lawsuit Death of CEO FDA approval of a drug Why do returns fluctuate?New Information!

  22. Hence... Total Risk Market Risk Asset-specific Risk + a.k.a Systematic Risk Non-diversifiable Risk a.k.a Unsystematic risk Diversifiable Risk Unique Risk

  23. Portfolio Expected Returns and Variances • Portfolio weights: put 50% in Asset A and 50% in Asset B: State of the Probability Return Return Return oneconomy of state on A on B portfolio Boom 0.40 30% -5% 12.5% Bust 0.60 -10% 25% 7.5% 1.00

  24. Portfolio Expected Returns and Variances (continued) • E(RP) = 0.40 x (.125) + 0.60 x (.075) = .095 = 9.5% • Var(RP) = 0.40 x (.125 - .095)2 + 0.60 x (.075 - .095)2 = .0006 • SD(RP) = .0006 = .0245 = 2.45% • Note: E(RP) = .50 x E(RA) + .50 x E(RB) = 9.5% • BUT: Var (RP) ¹ .50 x Var(RA) + .50 x Var(RB)

  25. Portfolios.... Portfolio returns:50% A and 50% B Stock B returns Stock A returns 0.05 0.04 0.03 0.02 0.01 0 -0.01 -0.02 -0.03 0.05 0.04 0.03 0.02 0.01 0 -0.01 -0.02 -0.03 0.04 0.03 0.02 0.01 0 -0.01 -0.02 -0.03

  26. Portfolio Expected Returns and Variances (continued) • New portfolio weights: put 3/7 in A and 4/7 in B: State of the Probability Return Return Return oneconomy of state on A on B portfolio Boom 0.40 30% -5% 10% Bust 0.60 -10% 25% 10% 1.00

  27. Portfolio Expected Returns and Variances (concluded) • A. E(RP) = 10% • B. SD(RP) = 0%Amazing, eh?

  28. E(R) of Portfolio • Weighted average of E(R) of stocks in portfolioFor 2-stock portfolio, • E(Rp) = W1 x E(R1) + W2 x E(R2)

  29. In general.... • E(Rp) = weighted average of expected return on individual stocks BUT!! • SD(Rp) < weighted average of SD(Ri) on individual stocks • This is the essence of diversification benefits

  30. How Diversification Works... • Asset-specific risk is reduced • Adding more assets reduces this risk further • good news and bad news ‘cancel’ out.. • with less than perfect correlation among stock returns

  31. Portfolio Diversification Average annualstandard deviation (%) 49.2 Diversifiable risk 23.9 19.2 Non-diversifiable Risk Number of stocksin portfolio 1 10 20 30 40 1000

  32. Diversification continued.. • In the limit, ALL asset-specific risk can be eliminated by holding a slice of the MARKET portfolio • Market portfolio is a portfolio of all assets in an economy • In practice, S&P 500 is a reasonable approximation of market portfolio

  33. Believe me no, I thank my fortune for it My ventures are not in one bottom trusted Nor to one place; nor is my whole estate Upon the fortune of this present year. Therefore, my merchandise makes me not sad. - Antonio, in The Merchant of Venice

  34. Captial Asset Pricing Model • Is…one of the most important ideas in finance in this century • Is…based on the idea that all investors will diversify because it makes sense to do so • Says…hence investors only care about systematic risk • Says…systematic risk is measured by BETA

  35. CAPM says.. • If investors can get rid of asset-specific risk (without sacrificing returns) they will do so • Corollary 1: Market rewards investors (in terms of higher return) only for bearing risk they cannot avoid - i.e. systematic risk (or beta) • Corollary 2: All investors (should??) hold market portfolio

  36. CAPM Equation • E(Ri) = Expected return on asset i • E(Rm) = Expected return on market portfolio • Rf = Risk-free rate • [E(Rm) - Rf] = Market risk premium

  37. In general... • Beta can be any number, but typically it is between 0.4 to 3.0

  38. By Definition... • Beta of risk-free asset is always ZERO • Risk-free assets have no risk! • not even systematic risk • Beta of the market portfolio is always ONE • Market risk is ‘average’ risk • S&P 500 is often taken as an approximation of market portfolio

  39. The Security Market Line (SML) Asset expectedreturn E (Ri) = E (RM ) – Rf E (RM) Rf Assetbeta 0 M= 1.0

  40. Using CAPM • The formula can be used to estimate • ‘r’ for projects in DCF methods • ‘r’ for expected / required return in valuing stocks • CAPM equation is one of the most widely used equations in finance

  41. Example • Beta of Intel = 1.73 • T-bills rate = Rf = 5% • E(Rm) = 12% • (estimated from past average of market return)Hence, • Market risk premium = [E(Rm) - Rf] = 7% • E(R) = .05 + [.12 - .05] x 1.73 = _____

  42. Estimating Beta Ri • Slope of regression line of Ri on Rm Rm

  43. Beta on calculator • Clear Statistical Memory: CL • Enter (x,y) pair: xiINPUT yi • Get slope: 0 y-hat, m SWAP + Intercept Slope

  44. Beta of Portfolios • Weighted average of beta of individual stocks • For 2-stock portfolio:

  45. Example 1. Compaq Beta: 1.60 Invest: $ 7,000 2. Nordstrom Beta: 1.20 Invest: $21,000 • W1 = 7000/28000 = 0.25 • W2 = 21000/28000 = 0.75 • Portfolio Beta =.25(1.6) + .75(1.2) = ______

  46. Another use of CAPM • Used to identify undervalued or overvalued securities • If your estimate of expected return is greater than CAPM-based required return --> asset is undervalued • If your estimate of expected return is less than CAPM-based required return --> asset is overvalued

  47. SML: Undervalued vs. Overvalued Asset expectedreturn E (Ri) Undervalued E (RM) Overvalued Rf Assetbeta 0 M= 1.0

  48. SML Continued... • If an asset plots above SML, it is UNDERVALUED • E(R) is higher than justified by risk • If an asset plots below SML, it is OVERVALUED • E(R) is lower than justified by risk

  49. Market Equilibrium & SML • In equilibrium, buying and selling pressure forces all assets to plot exactly on SML • mispricing does not last for very long • Hence, in equilibrium, the Reward-to-Risk ratio for all assets is the same:
