Expected Returns
Expected returns are based on the probabilities of possible outcomes In this context, expected means average if the process is repeated many times The expected return does not even have to be a possible return

Another Example
Consider the following information:
State Boom Normal Slowdown Recession Probability .25 .50 .15 .10 ABC, Inc. (%) 15 8 4 -3
What is the expected return? What is the variance? What is the standard deviation?

Portfolios
A portfolio is a collection of assets An assets risk and return are important in how they affect the risk and return of the portfolio The risk-return trade-off for a portfolio is measured by the portfolio expected return and standard deviation, just as with individual assets

You can also find the expected return by finding the portfolio return in each possible state and computing the expected value as we did with individual securities

Portfolio Variance
Compute the portfolio return for each state: RP = w1R1 + w2R2 + + wmRm Compute the expected portfolio return using the same formula as for an individual asset Compute the portfolio variance and standard deviation using the same formulas as for an individual asset

What are the expected return and standard deviation for each asset? What are the expected return and standard deviation for the portfolio?

What are the expected return and standard deviation for a portfolio with an investment of $6,000 in asset X and $4,000 in asset Z?

Efficient Markets
Efficient markets are a result of investors trading on the unexpected portion of announcements The easier it is to trade on surprises, the more efficient markets should be Efficient markets involve random price changes because we cannot predict surprises
13-16
Systematic Risk
Risk factors that affect a large number of assets Also known as non-diversifiable risk or market risk Includes such things as changes in GDP, inflation, interest rates, etc.
13-17
Unsystematic Risk
Risk factors that affect a limited number of assets Also known as unique risk and assetspecific risk Includes such things as labor strikes, part shortages, etc.
13-18
Returns
Total Return = expected return + unexpected return Unexpected return = systematic portion + unsystematic portion Therefore, total return can be expressed as follows: Total Return = expected return + systematic portion + unsystematic portion
13-19
Diversification
Portfolio diversification is the investment in several different asset classes or sectors Diversification is not just holding a lot of assets For example, if you own 50 Internet stocks, you are not diversified However, if you own 50 stocks that span 20 different industries, then you are diversified

Diversifiable Risk
The risk that can be eliminated by combining assets into a portfolio Often considered the same as unsystematic, unique or asset-specific risk If we hold only one asset, or assets in the same industry, then we are exposing ourselves to risk that we could diversify away
13-24
Total Risk
Total risk = systematic risk + unsystematic risk The standard deviation of returns is a measure of total risk For well-diversified portfolios, unsystematic risk is very small Consequently, the total risk for a diversified portfolio is essentially equivalent to the systematic risk

What if an asset has a reward-to-risk ratio of 8 (implying that the asset plots above the line)? What if an asset has a reward-to-risk ratio of 7 (implying that the asset plots below the line)?

Market Equilibrium
In equilibrium, all assets and portfolios must have the same reward-to-risk ratio, and they all must equal the reward-to-risk ratio for the market

Comprehensive Problem
The risk free rate is 4%, and the required return on the market is 12%. What is the required return on an asset with a beta of 1.5? What is the reward/risk ratio? What is the required return on a portfolio consisting of 40% of the asset above and the rest in an asset with an average amount of systematic risk?
