+ HPR (Simple Return)-Example n Suppose you bought 100 shares of Wal-Mart (WMT) one year ago today at $25. Over the last year, you received $20 in dividends (= 20 cents per share × 100 shares). At the end of the year, the stock sells for $30. How did you do? n What is your return on this investment?

+ Risk Statistics n There is no universally agreed-upon definition of risk. n The measures of risk that we discuss are variance and standard deviation. n The standard deviation is the standard statistical measure of the spread of a sample, and it will be the measure we use most of this time. n Its interpretation is facilitated by a discussion of the normal distribution.

+ Interpretation of Risk n The 20. 1% standard deviation we found for large stock returns from 1926 through 2014 can now be interpreted in the following way: n If stock returns are approximately normally distributed, the probability that a yearly return will fall within 20. 1 percent of the mean of 12. 1% will be approximately 2/3.

+ Diversifiable vs. Market Risk n n To the extent that the firm specific influences on two stocks differ, diversification should reduce portfolio risk n With all risk sources independent, the exposure to any particular source of risk is reduced to a negligible level n Firm specific risk is called unsystematic, unique risk, idiosyncratic risk, or diversifiable risk The risk remains even after extensive diversification. This risk is called market or systematic risk

+ Factors Affecting Unsystematic and Systematic Risk n n Unsystematic (Unique) Risk: n Successful

+ Factors Affecting Unsystematic and Systematic Risk n n Unsystematic (Unique) Risk: n Successful or unsuccessful product or marketing program n Winning or loosing of a major contract n In particular: good or bad news for a firm Systematic Risk: n Economic conditions; recession, boom, high inflation, high interest rates

+ Summary: n Based on the studies on capital market history, we know that there is reward, on average, for bearing risk. n Since, unsystematic risk can be eliminated at virtually no cost (by diversifying), there is no reward for bearing it. Put another way, the market does not reward risks that are borne unnecessarily. n Implication: n The expected return on an asset depends only on that asset’s systematic risk n No matter how much total risk an asset has, only the systematic portion is relevant in determining the expected return

+ How to Measure Systematic Risk? Estimation of Beta n Beta is a measure of stock’s volatility in relation to the market or the responsiveness of a security to movements in the market portfolio (i. e. , systematic risk). n Estimation made using t=1, 2, 3, … , T

Let’s assume expected return for Stock X and Stock Y is 20% and 10% respectively. What is the expected return of Portfolio? What is the expected Beta of Portfolio?

+ How to measure systematic risk? n Because systematic risk is the crucial determinant of an asset’s expected return, we need some way of measuring the level of systematic risk for different investment. n β (Beta Coefficient) tells us how much systematic risk as an average asset n Market Beta=1 n Risk Free Rate Beta=0 n Stock A: Standard Deviation=40%, Beta=0. 50 n Stock B: Standard Deviation=20%, Beta=1. 50 n Ford: http: //www. google. com/finance? q=ford&ei=p.

+ The SML and the Cost of Capital: A Preview n Risk is an extremely important consideration in almost all business decisions. Therefore, we need to the find the relation between risk and return (the SML) n We also need to know what determines the appropriate discount rate for future cash flows: Market risk premium, risk free rate and Beta n Why is the SML important: n It tells us reward to risk in financial markets n In order to find the discount rate: we need to compare the expected return on that investment to what the financial market offers on an investment with the same beta. In other words, the SML line tells us the “going rate” for bearing risk in the economy.

+ The SML and the Cost of Capital: A Preview n Cost of Capital: the appropriate discount rate on a new project is the minimum expected rate of return an investment must offer to be attractive n This minimum required rate of return is called “Cost of Capital” n We have a much better idea of what determines the required return on investment.
