The document discusses key concepts related to risk and return in investments. It defines return as the motivating force for making investments, while risk refers to uncertainty in future cash flows. There are different types of returns such as historical returns and expected returns. Risk is measured using concepts like variance, standard deviation, and beta. The Capital Asset Pricing Model relates risk and return, with expected return equal to the risk-free rate plus a risk premium based on systematic risk. Diversification can reduce unsystematic risk but not systematic risk. Understanding the risk-return relationship is important for investment decision making.

1. Risk & Return

2. Introduction
• Return is the motivating force for making an
investment
• Risk is inherent to all investment decisions
• For a financial manager, risk means:
“uncertainty in future cash flows”
• Risk should be measured, and
• Discount rate should be adjusted to measure returns
• Understanding the risk-return relationship is very
important– helps in decision making

3. Return
• Enables comparison of alternative options
of investment
• Measures past performance
• Helps in estimating future
• Two Types:
– Historical or Realized return or Holding period
return
– Expected return

4. Income receivedIncome received on an investment plus
any change in market pricechange in market price (if being(if being
traded)traded), usually expressed as a percent of
the beginning market pricebeginning market price (initial(initial
value)value) of the investment.

Defining Return

5. Rate of Return of a Stock
• Returns from holding a stock
– Dividend(s)
– Capital Gain/ Loss

6. The stock price for Stock A was Rs. 1010 per
share 1 year ago. The stock is currently
trading at Rs. 9.509.50 per share, and shareholders
just received a Rs. 1 dividendRs. 1 dividend. What return
was earned over the past year?
1.001.00 + (9.509.50 - 10.0010.00 )
10.0010.00RR = = 5%5%
Example

7. Return of a Bond/ Debenture
• Returns of holding a Bond/ Debenture
– Interest (annually, semi-annually, quarterly,
etc.)
– Change in the price (if being traded in a
market)

8. 14% Rs. 1,000 IDBI debenture was purchased
for Rs. 1050 and was sold when the price of
the security raised to Rs. 1080 at the end of
one year. What return was earned over the
past year?
140140 + (1,0801,080 – 1,0501,050)
1,0501,050RR = = 16.2%16.2%
Example

9. Return: Single Asset
• Rate of return =
Current yield + Capital gain/loss yield
• Current yield or Dividend yield
Annual Income/ Beginning price
• Capital gain (loss) yield
(End price – Beginning price) / Beginning
price

10. Illustration
Assume that IPCL was trading at Rs. 142 per
share one year back. It declared a dividend of
60% and the price now is Rs. 176.
Compute the returns: current yield and capital
gain yield on IPCL stocks.
Current yield: 4.23%
Capital gain yield: 23.94%

11. Expected Return
• Return in a future period
• Future is uncertain
• If possibilities of returns and their chance of
occurrence can be defined i.e. probability of
outcomes…

12. Expected Rate of Return
• It is the weighted average of all possible
returns multiplied by their respective
probabilities
R = expected return
Ri = return for the i th possible outcome
pi = probability associated with Ri
n = no. of possible outcome
R = ∑ pi Ri
n
i = 1

Defining Risk

15. Sources of Risk
• Interest rate risk
– Change in level of interest rates
– Security prices move inversely to interest rates
• Market risk
– Fluctuations in the securities market
• Inflation risk
– Purchase power risk

16. Sources of Risk…
• Business Risk
– Industry, Environment
• Financial Risk
– Use of debt financing
• Liquidity Risk
– Transaction of a asset/ conversion

17. Measures of Risk
(Variability of Return)
• Range
– Maximum & Minimum value
• Variance / Standard deviation (historical)
var = σ2
= 1/n Σ (Ri – R)2
σ = √σ2
• Variance (expected return)
σ2
= Σ Pi (Ri – R)2

What are the annual rate of returns for the last five years? How
risky is the share?

19. Solution
• R04 = - 28.07%
• R05 = 56.2%
• R06 = 123.4%
• R07 = 52.2%
• R08 = 57%
• Mean Return = 52.0%
∀ σ2
= 2,330.63
∀ σ = 48.28
• The standard deviation of J&N’s share of returns is
quite high.
• The share is very risky.

25. Risk & Expected Rate of Return
Expected return: is the weighted average of
all possible returns multiplied by their
respective probabilities
R = expected return
Ri = return for the i th possible outcome
pi = probability associated with Ri
n = no. of possible outcome
R = ∑ pi Ri
n
i = 1

26. Variance
• Variance of an asset’s return is the sum of
the squared deviations of each possible rate
of return from the expected rate of return
multiplied by their probabilities
• Variance (expected return)
σ2
= Σ Pi (Ri – R)2

30. Why Standard Deviation (σ)?
• Standard deviation is a measure of
dispersion around the average (expected)
value
• Standard deviation considers every possible
event and assigns equal weight to its
probabilities
• Easy to calculate, widely accepted

31. Certainty EquivalentCertainty Equivalent (CECE) is the amount
of cash someone would require with
certainty at a point in time to make the
individual indifferent between that
certain amount and an amount
expected to be received with risk at the
same point in time.

33. Portfolio
• A portfolio refers to a group of assets owned by
an investor
• Assets in which an investor has made investments
• Why Portfolio?
– It is possible to construct a portfolio in such a way that
the total risk of the portfolio is less than the sum of the
risk of individual assets
– To reduce risk, investors hold a diversified portfolio
(equity capital, bonds, real estate, FDs, Bulion, etc.)

34. RP = Σ ( Wj )( Rj )
RP is the expected return for the portfolio,
Wj is the weight (investment proportion) for the jth
asset in the portfolio,
Rj is the expected return of the jth
asset,
m is the total number of assets in the portfolio.

41. CAPM is a model that describes the
relationship between risk and expected
(required) return; in this model, a security’s
expected (required) return is the risk-free raterisk-free rate
plus a premiuma premium based on the systematic risksystematic risk
of the security.
Capital Asset Pricing Model
(CAPM)

42. CAPM: Expected Return
• The expected rate of return of a security:
Expected return = Risk-free rate + Risk premium
Risk premium =(Mkt return – Risk-free rate) x Beta
Ri= Rf + (Rm – Rf) βi
βi= COVim/ σ2

43. 1. Capital markets are efficient.
2. Homogeneous investor expectations
over a given period.
3. Risk-freeRisk-free asset return is certain
(use short- to intermediate-term
Treasuries as a proxy).
4. Market portfolio contains only
systematic risksystematic risk (use SENSEX or similar as a
proxy).
CAPM Assumptions

44. An index of systematic risksystematic risk.
It measures the sensitivity of a stock’s
returns to changes in returns on the market
portfolio.
The betabeta for a portfolio is simply a
weighted average of the individual stock
betas in the portfolio.
What is Beta?

45. Beta Calculation
Beta =
N ΣXY – (Σ X) (ΣY)
N ΣX2
– (ΣX)2
Where
X = return of market
Y = return of stock
