  1. The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) • The CAPM has • A macro component explains risk and return in a portfolio context • A micro component explains individual stock returns • The micro component is also used to value stocks

  2. The Capital Market Line • The capital market line • adds a risk-free return • redefines the efficient frontier

  3. The Capital Market Line

  4. Risk and Return • The investor continues to select the portfolio that • offers the highest return for a given level of risk • maximizes satisfaction • Different investors may select different combinations of risk and return

  5. Risk and Return • Different asset classes lie on the capital market line

  6. Beta Coefficients • An index of risk • Measures the volatility of a stock (or portfolio) relative to the market

  7. Beta Coefficients Combine • The variability of the asset’s return • The variability of the market return • The correlation between • the stock's return and • the market return

  8. Beta Coefficients • Beta coefficients are the slope of the regression line relating • the return on the market (the independent variable) to • the return on the stock (the dependent variable)

  9. Beta Coefficients

  10. Interpretation of the Numerical Value of Beta • Beta = 1.0 Stock's return has same volatility as the market return • Beta > 1.0 Stock's return is more volatile than the market return

  11. Interpretation of the Numerical Value of Beta

  12. Interpretation of the Numerical Value of Beta • Beta < 1.0 Stock's return is less volatile than the market return

  13. Interpretation of the Numerical Value of Beta

  14. High Beta Stocks • More systematic market risk • May be appropriate for high-risk tolerant (aggressive) investors

  15. Low Beta Stocks • Less systematic market risk • May be appropriate for low-risk tolerant (defensive) investors

  16. Individual Stock Betas • May change over time • Tendency to move toward 1.0, the market beta

  17. Portfolio Betas • Weighted average of the individual asset's betas • May be more stable than individual stock betas

  18. Beta Coefficients and The Security Market Line • The return on a stock depends on • the risk free rate (rf) • the return on the market (rm) • the stock's beta • the return on a stock:k= rf + (rm -rf)beta

  19. Beta Coefficients and The Security Market Line • The figure relating systematic risk (beta) and the return on a stock

  20. Beta Coefficients and The Security Market Line

  21. Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) • In the CAPM • a stock's return depends only on • the market return • the volatility of the stock (the beta) • APT is an alternative to the Capital Asset Pricing Model

  22. Arbitrage • Buying in one market and simultaneously selling in another market to take advantage of price differentials • Assures there can be only one price • Assures that portfolios with the same risk will have the same returns

  23. APT explains security returns in terms of • The expected return • A series of factors that may affect security prices • How the individual stock responds to unanticipated changes in those factors

  24. Common Factors • Unexpected inflation • Unexpected changes in industrial production • Unanticipated shifts in risk premiums • Unanticipated changes in the structure of yields
