Expected Return
What is Risk?Risk, in traditional terms, is viewed as a ‘negative’. Webster’s dictionary, for instance, defines risk as “exposing to danger or hazard”. The Chinese symbols for risk, reproduced below, give a much better description of riskThe first symbol is the symbol for “danger”, while the second is the symbol for “opportunity”, making risk a mix of danger and opportunity.

Measuring RiskVariance - Average value of squared deviations from mean.  A measure of volatility.Standard Deviation - Average value of squared deviations from mean.  A measure of volatility.
Expected ReturnsExpected returns are based on the probabilities of possible outcomesIn this context, “expected” means average if the process is repeated many timesThe “expected” return does not even have to be a possible return
Example: Expected ReturnsSuppose you have predicted the following returns for stocks C and T in three possible states of nature. What are the expected returns?State	Probability	C		TBoom		0.3	15		25Normal		0.5	10		20Recession	???	2		1RC = .3(15) + .5(10) + .2(2) = 9.99%RT = .3(25) + .5(20) + .2(1) = 17.7%
Variance and Standard DeviationVariance and standard deviation still measure the volatility of returnsUsing unequal probabilities for the entire range of possibilitiesWeighted average of squared deviations
Example: Variance and Standard DeviationConsider the previous example. What are the variance and standard deviation for each stock?Stock C2 = .3(15-9.9)2 + .5(10-9.9)2 + .2(2-9.9)2 = 20.29 = 4.5Stock T2 = .3(25-17.7)2 + .5(20-17.7)2 + .2(1-17.7)2 = 74.41 = 8.63
PortfoliosA portfolio is a collection of assetsAn asset’s risk and return are important in how they affect the risk and return of the portfolioThe risk-return trade-off for a portfolio is measured by the portfolio expected return and standard deviation, just as with individual assets
Example: Portfolio WeightsSuppose you have $15,000 to invest and you have purchased securities in the following amounts. What are your portfolio weights in each security?$2000 of DCLK$3000 of KO$4000 of INTC$6000 of KEIDCLK: 2/15 = .133
KO: 3/15 = .2
INTC: 4/15 = .267
KEI: 6/15 = .4Portfolio Expected ReturnsThe expected return of a portfolio is the weighted average of the expected returns for each asset in the portfolioYou 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
Example: Expected Portfolio ReturnsConsider the portfolio weights computed previously. If the individual stocks have the following expected returns, what is the expected return for the portfolio?DCLK: 19.69%KO: 5.25%INTC: 16.65%KEI: 18.24%E(RP) = .133(19.69) + .2(5.25) + .167(16.65) + .4(18.24) = 13.75%

Risk and DiversificationDiversification -  Strategy designed to reduce risk by spreading the portfolio across many investments.Unique Risk - Risk factors affecting only that firm.  Also called “diversifiable risk.”Market Risk - Economy-wide sources of risk that affect the overall stock market.  Also called “systematic risk.”
Risk and Diversification
Risk and Diversification
DiversificationPortfolio diversification is the investment in several different asset classes or sectorsDiversification is not just holding a lot of assetsFor example, if you own 50 internet stocks, you are not diversifiedHowever, if you own 50 stocks that span 20 different industries, then you are diversified
29Portfolio diversification with additional stocks in a portfolio
The Principle of DiversificationDiversification can substantially reduce the variability of returns without an equivalent reduction in expected returnsThis reduction in risk arises because worse than expected returns from one asset are offset by better than expected returns from anotherHowever, there is a minimum level of risk that cannot be diversified away and that is the systematic portion
Portfolio diversification and numbers of stocks in a portfolio
Diversifiable RiskThe risk that can be eliminated by combining assets into a portfolioOften considered the same as unsystematic, unique or asset-specific riskIf we hold only one asset, or assets in the same industry, then we are exposing ourselves to risk that we could diversify away
Total RiskTotal risk = systematic risk + unsystematic riskThe standard deviation of returns is a measure of total riskFor well-diversified portfolios, unsystematic risk is very smallConsequently, the total risk for a diversified portfolio is essentially equivalent to the systematic risk
Systematic Risk PrincipleThere is a reward for bearing riskThere is not a reward for bearing risk unnecessarilyThe expected return on a risky asset depends only on that asset’s systematic risk since unsystematic risk can be diversified away
Measuring Systematic RiskHow do we measure systematic risk?We use the beta coefficient to measure systematic riskWhat does beta tell us?A beta of 1 implies the asset has the same systematic risk as the overall marketA beta < 1 implies the asset has less systematic risk than the overall marketA beta > 1 implies the asset has more systematic risk than the overall market
Total versus Systematic RiskConsider the following information:   			Standard Deviation	BetaSecurity C		20%			1.25Security K		30%			0.95Which security has more total risk?Which security has more systematic risk?Which security should have the higher expected return?
Beta and the Risk PremiumRemember that the risk premium = expected return – risk-free rateThe higher the beta, the greater the risk premium should beCan we define the relationship between the risk premium and beta so that we can estimate the expected return?YES!

Measuring Market RiskMarket Portfolio - Portfolio of all assets in the economy.  In practice a broad stock market index is used to represent the market.Beta - Sensitivity of a stock’s return to the return on the market portfolio.
Measuring Market RiskExample - Turbo Charged Seafood has the following % returns on its stock, relative to the listed changes in the % return on the market portfolio. The beta of Turbo Charged Seafood can be derived from this information.
Example - continuedMeasuring Market Risk
Measuring Market RiskExample - continuedWhen the market was up 1%, Turbo average % change was +0.8%When the market was down 1%, Turbo average % change was -0.8% The average change of 1.6 % (-0.8 to 0.8) divided by the 2% (-1.0 to 1.0) change in the market produces a beta of 0.8.
Example - continuedMeasuring Market Risk
Portfolio BetasDiversification decreases variability from unique risk, but not from market risk.The beta of your portfolio will be an average of the betas of the securities in the portfolio.If you owned all of the S&P Composite Index stocks, you would have an average beta of 1.0

Capital Budgeting & Project RiskWe discuss more on capital budgeting in a later topicThe project cost of capital depends on the use to which the capital is being put.  Therefore, it depends on the risk of the project and not the risk of the company.
Capital Budgeting & ProjectExample -  Based on the CAPM, ABC Company has a cost of capital of  17%. [4 + 1.3(10)].  A breakdown of the company’s investment projects is listed below.  When evaluating a new dog food production investment, which cost of capital should be used?1/3 Nuclear Parts Mfr. B=2.01/3 Computer Hard Drive Mfr. B=1.31/3 Dog Food Production B=0.6AVG. B of assets = 1.3Risk
