Risk and Return: CAPM/SML
Chapter 8
8-1

What is investment risk?
• Two types of investment risk
– Stand-alone risk
– Portfolio risk
• Investment risk is related to the probability of
earning a low or negative actual return.
• The greater the chance of lower than expected, or
negative returns, the riskier the investment.

Probability Distributions

probability of each occurrence.

Why is the T-bill return independent of the economy?
Do T-bills promise a completely risk-free return?
• T-bills will return the promised 5.5%, regardless of
the economy.
• No, T-bills do not provide a completely risk-free
return, as they are still exposed to inflation.
Although, very little unexpected inflation is likely to
occur over such a short period of time.
• T-bills are also risky in terms of reinvestment risk.
• T-bills are risk-free in the default sense of the word.
8-6

How do the returns of High Tech and Collections
behave in relation to the market?
• High Tech: Moves with the economy, and has a
positive correlation. This is typical.
• Collections: Is countercyclical with the economy,
and has a negative correlation. This is unusual.

Comments on Standard Deviation as a Measure of
Risk
• Standard deviation (σi) measures total, or stand-
alone, risk.
• The larger σi is, the lower the probability that actual
returns will be close to expected returns.
• Larger σi is associated with a wider probability
distribution of returns.

• Collections has the highest degree of risk per

• High Tech, despite having the highest standard
deviation of returns, has a relatively average CV.
8-17

Investor Attitude Towards Risk
• Risk aversion: assumes investors dislike risk and
require higher rates of return to encourage them to
hold riskier securities.
• Risk premium: the difference between the return
on a risky asset and a riskless asset, which serves as
compensation for investors to hold riskier
securities.
8-18

Portfolio Construction: Risk and Return
• Assume a two-stock portfolio is created with $50,000
invested in both High Tech and Collections.
• A portfolio’s expected return is a weighted average of
the returns of the portfolio’s component assets.
• Standard deviation is a little more tricky and requires
that a new probability distribution for the portfolio
returns be constructed.

Comments on Portfolio Risk Measures
• σp = 3.4% is much lower than the σi of either stock
(σHT = 20.0%; σColl = 13.2%).
• σp = 3.4% is lower than the weighted average of
High Tech and Collections’ σ (16.6%).
• Therefore, the portfolio provides the average
return of component stocks, but lower than the
average risk.
• Why? Negative correlation between stocks.
8-23

General Comments about Risk
• σ ≈ 35% for an average stock.
• Most stocks are positively (though not perfectly)
correlated with the market (i.e., ρ between 0 and
1).
• Combining stocks in a portfolio generally lowers
risk.

Creating a Portfolio: Beginning with One Stock and
Adding Randomly Selected Stocks to Portfolio
• σp decreases as stocks are added, because they
would not be perfectly correlated with the
existing portfolio.
• Expected return of the portfolio would remain
relatively constant.
• Eventually the diversification benefits of adding
more stocks dissipates (after about 40 stocks),
and for large stock portfolios, σp tends to
converge to ≈ 20%.

8-29

Breaking Down Sources of Risk
Stand-alone risk = Market risk + Diversifiable risk
• Market risk: portion of a security’s stand-alone risk
that cannot be eliminated through diversification.
Measured by beta.
• Diversifiable risk: portion of a security’s stand-
alone risk that can be eliminated through proper
diversification.
8-30

Failure to Diversify
• If an investor chooses to hold a one-stock portfolio
(doesn’t diversify), would the investor be
compensated for the extra risk they bear?
– NO!
– Stand-alone risk is not important to a well-diversified
investor.
– Rational, risk-averse investors are concerned with σp,
which is based upon market risk.
– There can be only one price (the market return) for a
given security.
– No compensation should be earned for holding
unnecessary, diversifiable risk.
8-31

Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
• Model linking risk and required returns. CAPM
suggests that there is a Security Market Line (SML)
that states that a stock’s required return equals the
risk-free return plus a risk premium that reflects the
stock’s risk after diversification.
ri = rRF+ (rM– rRF)bi
• Primary conclusion: The relevant riskiness of a stock
is its contribution to the riskiness of a well-
diversified portfolio.
8-32

Beta
• Measures a stock’s market risk, and shows a stock’s
volatility relative to the market.
• Indicates how risky a stock is if the stock is held in a
well-diversified portfolio.
8-33

Comments on Beta
• If beta = 1.0, the security is just as risky as the
average stock.
• If beta > 1.0, the security is riskier than average.
• If beta < 1.0, the security is less risky than average.
• Most stocks have betas in the range of 0.5 to 1.5.
8-34

Can the beta of a security be negative?
• Yes, if the correlation between Stock i and the
market is negative (i.e., ρi,m < 0).
• If the correlation is negative, the regression line
would slope downward, and the beta would be
negative.
• However, a negative beta is highly unlikely.
8-35

Calculating Betas
• Well-diversified investors are primarily concerned
with how a stock is expected to move relative to
the market in the future.
• Without a crystal ball to predict the future, analysts
are forced to rely on historical data. A typical
approach to estimate beta is to run a regression of
the security’s past returns against the past returns
of the market.
• The slope of the regression line is defined as the
beta coefficient for the security.

The Security Market Line (SML): Calculating
Required Rates of Return
SML: ri = rRF+ (rM– rRF)bi
ri = rRF+ (RPM)bi
• Assume the yield curve is flat and that rRF= 5.5% and
RPM= rM − rRF = 10.5% − 5.5% = 5.0%.
8-40

What is the market risk premium?
• Additional return over the risk-free rate needed to
compensate investors for assuming an average
amount of risk.
• Its size depends on the perceived risk of the stock
market and investors’ degree of risk aversion.
• Varies from year to year, but most estimates
suggest that it ranges between 4% and 8% per year.
8-41

Calculating Required Rates of Return
8-42
rHT = 5.5% + (5.0%)(1.32)

rUSR = 5.5% +(5.0%)(0.88) = 9.90%
rT-bill = 5.5% + (5.0)(0.00) = 5.50%
rColl = 5.5% + (5.0%)(-0.87) = 1.15%

An Example:
Equally-Weighted Two-Stock Portfolio
• Create a portfolio with 50% invested in High Tech
and 50% invested in Collections.
• The beta of a portfolio is the weighted average of
each of the stock’s betas.
bP = wHTbHT + wCollbColl
bP = 0.5(1.32) + 0.5(-0.87)
bP = 0.225
8-45

Calculating Portfolio Required Returns
• The required return of a portfolio is the weighted
average of each of the stock’s required returns.
rP = wHTrHT + wCollrColl
rP = 0.5(12.10%) + 0.5(1.15%)
rP = 6.625%
• Or, using the portfolio’s beta, CAPM can be used to
solve for expected return.
rP = rRF+ (RPM)bP
rP = 5.5%+ (5.0%)(0.225)
rP = 6.625%

Verifying the CAPM Empirically
• The CAPM has not been verified completely.
• Statistical tests have problems that make
verification almost impossible.
• Some argue that there are additional risk factors,
other than the market risk premium, that must be
considered.
8-49

More Thoughts on the CAPM
• Investors seem to be concerned with both market
risk and total risk. Therefore, the SML may not
produce a correct estimate of ri.
ri = rRF+ (rM– rRF)bi + ???
• CAPM/SML concepts are based upon expectations,
but betas are calculated using historical data. A
company’s historical data may not reflect investors’
expectations about future riskiness.
