CHAPTER 7 PortfolioManagement
Risk Aversion • Youhavetwostocksyouconsiderforpurchase; whichone do youpick? Why? • 50 TL certain – 100/0 coinflipexample • Risk averse • Risk neutral • Risk seeking • Mainassumptionabout risk aversion
MarkowitzPortfolioTheory • Variance of returnsanddiversification • The Markowitz model isbased on several assumptions regarding investor behavior: 1. Investors consider each investment alternative as being represented by a probability distributionof expected returns over some holding period. 2. Investors maximize one-period expected utility, and their utility curves demonstrate diminishingmarginalutility of wealth. 3. Investors estimate the risk of the portfolio on the basis of the variability of expectedreturns. 4. Investors base decisions solely on expected return and risk. 5. For a given risk level, investors prefer higher returns to lower returns. Similarly, for agiven level of expected return, investors prefer less risk to more risk.
Alternative Risk Measures • Variance & standard deviation of expectedreturns • Range of returns • Semivariance
ExpectedRates of Return • The expected rate of return for an individual investment • What is theexpectedreturnfor Tortu?
ExpectedRates of Return • The expected rate of return for a portfolio of riskyassets • What is theexpectedreturnfor a portfolio of Sütaş, Arçelik, Merko, Penguan Gıda?
Risk • Standard deviation of returns for an individualinvestment • What is thestandarddeviationfor Tortu?
Risk • Standard deviation of returns for a portfolio of riskyassets • Covariance • Correlation
Covariance • What is Covariance? • Prices vs. returns? • A positivecovariance means ……. • A negative covariance indicates …… • The magnitude of the covariance depends on ……
Covariance • Tukaş & Ünye Çimento: E(R)=?
Covariance • Although the rates of return for the two stocks moved together duringsome months, in other months they moved in opposite directions. The covariance statistic providesan absolute measure of how they moved together over time. • Formulation • Formulationfor 12 monthlyreturns of 2 assets • Whenwouldcovariation be positive/negative?
Covariance • Tukaş & Ünye Çimento: Covariance?
Covariance & Correlation • Whatdoesthecovariancefiguremean? • Standardization • Correlation • Correlationboundariesandtheinterpretation
Correlation • Tukaş & Ünye Çimento: Correlation?
Standard Deviation of a Portfolio • Whatdoesthestandarddeviation of a portfolioindicate? • Formalformulation
Standard Deviation of a Portfolio • EXAMPLE: E(Ra) = 0.20 Stn. Dev. = 0.10 Wa = 0.50 E(Rb) = 0.20 Stn. Dev. = 0.10 Wb = 0.50 Correlation = 0.10 Risk = ? • Thelessonlearnt?

TheEfficientFrontier • If we examined different two-asset combinations and derived the curves assuming all the possibleweights, we would have a graph like:
TheEfficientFrontier • Efficient frontier • Comparisons of portfolios A, B and C • As an investor, you will target a point along the efficient frontier based on your utility functionand your attitude toward risk. • No portfolio on the efficient frontier can dominate any otherportfolio on the efficient frontier. All of these portfolios have different return and risk measures,with expected rates of return that increase with higher risk.
EfficientFrontier & InvestorUtility • Slope of the efficient frontier • An individual investor’s utility curves • Two investors will choose the same portfolio from the efficient set only if their utility curvesareidentical. • The optimal portfolio
