1. Individual Securities
Expected Return
Return that an individual expects a stock to earnover the next period
Actual return may be either higher or lower
Formula:
Expected return = Prob x Return
= P x Ri

Variance () and Standard Deviation ()
Measures the variability of an individual securitys
return (squared deviations of a securitys returnfrom its expected return)
To assess the volatility or variability of anindividual securitys return on the expected return
Formula:
= P (Ri expected returni)Thus,
= P (Ri expected returni)

Covariance andCorrelation
To measure the r/shipbetween returns onindividual securities
Covariance can bestated in terms of thecorrelation between twosecurities.

+ve r/ship between the 2
returns
Both returns areabove/below theiraverage returns
- ve cov
-ve r/ship between the 2
returns One return is above the
average and the other isbelow the average return
Zero cov No r/ship i.e. the 2
returns are unrelated

Covariance is difficult to be interpretedbecause it is in squared deviation units
To solve the problem, use the correlation
Correlation is between +1 and -1 Correlation can be +ve, -ve and zero and its
interpretation is similar to covariance

Suppose you have invested only in two stocks,A and B. The returns on the two stocks dependon the following three states of the economywhich are:
State of economy Probability Return onStock

2. Return and Risk for Portfolios
Expected return on a portfolio (Rp)= weighted average of the expected
returns on the individual securities
= XA RA + XB RB= Rp
Where:
XA = percentage of the portfolio in security AXB = percentage of the portfolio in security B
RA and RB =expected return on security A and B respectively
-

Standard Deviation (SD) of a portfolio
(p)= NOT the weighted average of the
standard deviations individual securities= XAA + 2XAXBA,B + XBB
Where:
XA = percentage of investment in securities A
XB = percentage of investment in securities B
A = SD of security AB = SD of security B
AB = Covariance of security A and B
-

Covariance (AB) and Correlation (AB)
Correlation (AB) = AB
A X B
Therefore,
AB = AB X A X B

+ve r/ship between the 2 securities increasesthe variance of the entire portfolio. Therefore,
the risk of the entire portfolio will be higher
-ve r/ship between the 2 securities decreasesthe variances (risk) of the entire portfolio.

2. Minimum Variance Portfolio
At MV
The lowest possible variance or SD
3. Opportunity Set or Feasible Set
Represented by the curved line throughpoint B, MV and A
An investor can achieve any point on thecurve by selecting the appropriate mix
between the two securities Depends on the stomach of the investor
(risk averse/risk taker)

4. Curved line between point MV and B
A portion of feasible set
SD decreases as one increases expected return
5. Point < Minimum Variance portfolio (MVP)
No investor want to hold a portfolio with expected
return below that of the MVP i.e. portfolio 1
Less expected return but higher SD than the MVPhas.
Thus, the investor only consider the curve from MVto A as the efficient set of efficient frontier.

Question?????
How can an increase in the proportion of the risky
security lead to a reduction in the risk of theportfolio???
Answer
Diversification Effect
Correlation between the securities isve ( < 1)which represented by the backward bending curve
Thus, an addition of a small amount of risky securityacts as a hedge to a portfolio composed only onesecurity

The shaded area represents the feasible setwhen many securities are considered.
The shaded area represents all the possiblecombinations of expected return and
standard deviation of a portfolio
No combination of securities can fall outside

An investor will want to be somewhere on theupper edge between MVP and X

Relationship between the Variance of a Portfolios
Return and the Number of Securities in the Portfolio
We can never eliminate risk no matter how manysecurities we have in our portfolio.
The variance (risk) of portfolio drops, but can only
reach a floor of covariance. i.e. the lowest risk can drop is equal the covariance
Total risk of = Portfolio risk + Unsystematic
risk individual sec(diversifiable risk)

In a large portfolio the variance terms are effectivelydiversified away, but the covariance terms are not.
Thus diversification can eliminate some,
but not all of the risk of individual securities.

An investor could combine a risky investmentwith an investment in a riskless or risk-freesecurity, such as an investment in Treasurybills or government bond.

Optimal Portfolio
Is the portfolio that will give an investor the highestreturn.
Problems associated with identifying optimalportfolio: It is unrealistic to assume that the investors can borrow at
the risk free rate.
It requires knowledge of the risk and return of all riskyinvestments.
It is expensive to construct optimal portfolio smallinvestors
Market portfolio changes over time due to changes in rfrate of return, feasible sets and efficient frontier.

Market Equilibrium
Possible when all investors are assumed to havehomogeneous expectations for expected returns,variances and covariances.
Thus, all investors have the same optimal portfolio. Homogeneous expectations:
Investors have the same expected returns, variances andcovariance.
Hence all investors will have the same efficient set. Thus, all investors have the same optimal portfolio of risky
assets and also a diversified portfolio.

9. Definition of Risk When InvestorsHold the Market Portfolio
Researchers have shown that the bestmeasure of the risk of a security in a largeportfolio is the beta(b)of the security.
Beta measures the sensitivity orresponsiveness of a change in the return ofan individual stock to the change in return of
market portfolio. Market portfolio is proxied by broad-based
index
-
7/31/2019 Return and Risk- Lecture
40/52
Beta measures the responsiveness of a security tomovements in the market portfolio.
Concept of beta: Market beta = 0 0.5 for every 1% movement in the market, the
stock is expected to move 0.5% in the same direction(less volatile)
2.5 for every 1% movement in the market, the
stock is expected to move 2.5% in the same direction.(highly volatile) -0.5the stock is expected to move 0.5% for every
1% movement in market in different direction.

Beta is the best measure of risk of thesecurity when hold a large and diversified
portfolio.
Because, in a large and diversified portfolio,
the only risk left is the systematic risk andunsystematic risk is no more relevant to theportfolio.

It means thatve beta stock is expected to do well
when the market does poorly, vice versa.
As a result, adding ave beta security to a large ,diversified portfolio can reduce the risk of the
portfolio.
CAPM is one of the model that can be used toexplain the relationship between the risk and
required rate of return on assets when investorshold a well diversified portfolio.

For example Let's say that the current risk free-rate is 5%, and the
S&P 500 is expected to return to 12% next year. You areinterested in determining the return that Joe's Oyster Bar Inc (JOB)
will have next year. You have determined that its beta value is 1.9.The overall stock market has a beta of 1.0, so JOB's beta of 1.9tells us that it carries more risk than the overall market; this extrarisk means that we should expect a higher potential return than the12% of the S&P 500. We can calculate this as the following:
Required (or expected) Return = 5% + 1.9(12% - 5%)= 18.3%
What CAPM tells us is that Joe's Oyster Bar has a required rate ofreturn of 18.3%. So, if you invest in JOB, you should be getting atleast 18.3% return on your investment. If you don't think that JOBwill produce those kinds of returns for you, then you shouldconsider investing in a different company.

By varying xA, one can trace out the efficientset of portfolios. We graphed the efficient set
for the two-asset case as a curve, pointingout that the degreeof curvature reflects thediversification effect:
the lower the correlation between the twosecurities, the greater the diversification.
The same general shape holds in a world ofmany assets.

The efficient set of risky assetscan be combined withriskless borrowing and lending. In this case, a rational
investor will always choose to hold the portfolio of riskysecurities represented by the market portfolio.

The contributionof a security to the riskof a well-
diversified portfolio is proportionalto the covarianceof the
security's return with the markets return. This contributionis called the beta ().
The CAPM states that the expected return on a security ispositivelyrelated to the securitys beta:
