What are investment returns?
• Investment returns measure the financial results of an investment.
• Returns may be historical or prospective (anticipated).
• Returns can be expressed in:–Dollar terms.–Percentage terms.

Percentage return:

$ Return/$ Invested $100/$1,000 = 0.10 = 10%.
An investment costs $1,000 and is sold after 1 year for $1,100:

Expected Return
• Expected Return is the weighted average of all the possible returns, weighted by the probability that each return will occur.
• Expected Return (%) = ΣPbi*ri – Where Pbi = probabilities of outcome i
– ri = expected % return in outcome

What is investment risk?
• Typically, investment returns are not known with certainty.
• Investment risk pertains to the probability of earning a return less than that expected.
• The greater the chance of a return far below the expected return, the greater the risk.

Standard Deviation (S.D.)
• Standard deviation (S.D.) is one way to measure risk. It measures the volatility or riskiness of portfolio returns.
• S.D. = square root of the weighted average squared deviation of each possible return from the expected return.

Stand-Alone Risk
• Standard deviation measures the stand-alone risk of an investment.• The larger the standard deviation, the higher the probability that
returns will be far below the expected return.• So which one of sale.com and basic foods is high risky?
• But what if this case?

Measuring Stand–Alone Risk: The Coefficient of Variation
How do we choose between two investments if one has a higher expected return and the other a lower standard deviation? To help answer this question, we often use another measure of risk, the coefficient of variation (CV) , which is the standard deviation divided by the expected return:
CV = Standard deviation / expected returnCVS-Stock = 32.6% / 16.7% = 1.9521CVL-Stock = 20.4% / 11.9% = 1.7143CVT-BILLS = 3.1% / 3.7% =0.8378

Portfolio Return and Risk
• Portfolio return rp is the weighted average of the expected returns on
the individual assets in the portfolio. Suppose there are n stocks.
The expected return on Stock i is ri . The fraction of the portfolio's
dollar value invested in Stock i (that is, the value of the investment in Stock i divided by the total value of the portfolio) is wi, and all the wi must sum to 1.0. The expected return on the portfolio is

Portfolio vs. Its Components
• Portfolio expected return (9.6%) is between stock A (17.4%) and stock B (1.7%) returns.
• Portfolio standard deviation is much lower than:– either stock (20% and 13.4%).– average of stock A and stock B (16.7%).
• The reason is due to negative correlation (r) between stock A and stock B returns.

Conclusion
Stand-alone risk = Market risk + Diversifiable risk:
• Market risk is that part of a security’s stand-alone risk that cannot be eliminated by diversification.
• Firm-specific, or diversifiable, risk is that part of a security’s stand-alone risk that can be eliminated by diversification.

Beta and Systematic Risk
CAPM suggests that Beta is a factor in determining the relation between returns and systematic risk.

How is market risk measured for individual securities?
• Market risk, which is relevant for stocks held in well-diversified portfolios, is defined as the contribution of a security to the overall riskiness of the portfolio.
• It is measured by a stock’s beta coefficient. For stock i, its beta is:

Portfolio Beta
• An important aspect of the CAPM is that the beta of a portfolio is a weighted average of its individual securities' betas:
Calculate beta for a portfolio with 50% Stock H and 50% Stock L:
bp = Weighted average= 0.5(bStock H) + 0.5(bStock L)= 0.5*2 + 0.5*0.5= 1.25
