During 2010, IBM paid four dividends, totaling $2.50. The return on IBM stock for 2010 is: 5 Total Return Answer: $2.50 $146.76−130.90 Total return2010 = + $130.90 130.90 =1.191% + 12.12% = 14.03% 6 Measuring Average Returns Arithmetic mean or average mean-sum of all observations divided by the total number of observations Geometric mean-average or compound growth rate over multiple time periods 7 Why do the arithmetic mean return and the geometric mean return differ? The arithmetic mean simply averages the annual rates of return without taking into account that the amount invested varies across time. The geometric mean is a better average return estimate when we are interested in the rate of return performance of an investment over time. 8 Estimating Expected Returns on Investment The expected return is often estimated based on historical averages, but the problem is that there is no guarantee that the past will repeat itself. 9 Estimating Expected Returns on Investment Example: Suppose you have two possible returns on investment: The expected return is the weighted average of the possible returns, where the weights are the probabilities: 10 Expected return, E(r) = 0.07 Estimating expected returns Suppose we have the following estimates for the return on an investment: Probability Return Best case 30% 25% Most likely case 60% 10% Worst case 10% -5% What is the expected value return, based on these estimates? 11 Estimating expected returns Best case Most likely case Worst case Total Probability Return 30% 25% 60% 10% 10% -5% 100% Probability x Return 7.5% 6.0% -0.5% 13.0% Expected return 12 8.2 Measuring Risk Risk is the probability of incurring harm, and for financial managers, harm generally means losing money or earning an inadequate rate of return. Risk is the probability that the actual return from an investment is less than the expected return. This means that the more variable the possible return, the greater the risk. 13 Methods of Measuring Risk Standard Deviation: Ex Post Uses information that has occurred (ex post) Ex post standard deviation (σ) = Where σ is the standard deviation, is the average return, xi is the observation in year i, and N is the number of observations 14 Methods of Measuring Risk The Standard Deviation: Ex Ante Formulated based on expectations about the future cash flows or returns of an asset. Ex ante standard deviation (σ) = Where r is one of the possible outcomes, E(r) is the calculated expected value of the possible outcomes, and pi is the probability of the occurrence 15 Ex-ante risk Probability Return Deviation from Weighted Expected expected Squared squared value value deviation deviation Best case 30% 25% 7.5% 12% 0.0144 0.00432 Most likely case 60% 10% 6.0% -3% 0.0009 0.00054 Worst case 10% -5% -0.5% -18% Expected return = 13.0% 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑑 𝑑𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 = 16 2 0.0324 0.00324 Variance = 0.00810 0.00810 = 0.09 𝑜𝑟 9% Methods of Measuring Risk Ex Post Standard Deviation Ex Ante Standard Deviation Perspective Looking back on what has occurred.

Formula for the standard deviation (σ) 17 8.3 Expected Return and Risk for Portfolios A portfolio is a collection of assets, such as stocks and bonds, that are combined and considered a single asset. Investors should diversify their investments so that they are not unnecessarily exposed to a single negative event “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket” 18 Calculating a Portfolio’s Return The expected return on a portfolio is the weighted average of the expected returns on the individual assets in the portfolio: where E(rp) represents the expected return on the portfolio, E(ri) represents the expected return on asset i, and wi represents the portfolio weight of asset i. 19 Calculating a Portfolio’s Return Good OK Bad Probability 25% 60% 15% Return on A 15% 10% 5% Probability Probability Return on x Return x Return B on A on B 20% 3.75% 5.00% 12% 6.00% 7.20% -10% 0.75% -1.50% 10.50% 10.70% Expected return on A Expected return on B 20 Calculating a Portfolio’s Return Estimating standard deviation: where σpis the portfolio standard deviation and COVxy is the covariance of the returns on X and Y Covariance-a statistical measure of the degree to which two or more series move together 21 Estimating a standard deviations of returns Good Weighted deviation Return Return Probability x Probability x squared for Probability on A on B Return on A Return on B Return on A 25% 15% 20% 3.75% 5.00% 0.000506 Weighted deviation squared for Return on A 0.002162 OK 60% 10% 12% 6.00% 7.20% 0.000015 0.000101 Bad 15% 5% -10% 0.75% -1.50% 0.000454 0.006427 10.50% 10.70% 0.000975 0.008691 Standard deviation of A = 3.1225% Standard deviation of B = 9.3226% 22 Estimating a Covariance Good OK Bad Probabilit Probabilit Deviation Deviation y x Return y x Return for Return for Return Product of Probability on A on B on A on B deviations 25% 3.75% 5.00% 4.500% 9.300% 0.0041850 60% 6.00% 7.20% -0.500% 1.300% -0.0000650 15% 0.75% -1.50% -5.500% -20.700% 0.0113850 10.50% 10.70% Probability weighted products 0.0010463 -0.0000390 0.0017078 0.0027150 Covariance 15%-10.5% 23 20%-10.7% Correlation Coefficient Correlation coefficient- a statistical measure that identifies how asset returns move in relation to one another; denoted by p Ranges from -1 (perfect negative correlation) to +1 (perfect positive correlation) Related to covariance and individual standard deviations: where ρxy is the correlation coefficient, COV is covariance, subxy are the variables, and σ is the standard deviation 24 Correlation Examples No correlation: 25 Correlation Examples Perfect positive and perfect negative correlation: 26 Correlation Examples Positive and negative correlation: 27 Correlation From our example, 0.0027150 Correlation= = 0.93268 0.31225 × 0.093226 Possible return Return on A 30% 20% 10% 0% -10% -20% Good 28 Return on B OK Scenario Bad Word of Caution The essential problem is that our models are still too simple to capture the full array of governing variables that drive global economic reality. A model, of necessity, is an abstraction from the full detail of the real world. 29 8.4 The Efficient Frontier There is a mix of assets that minimizes a portfolio’s standard deviation Modern Portfolio Theory Modern portfolio theory is a set of theories that explain how rational investors, who are risk averse, can select a set of investments that maximize the expected return for a given level of risk Harry Markowitz is the “father” of modern portfolio theory, was awarded the 1990 Nobel Prize in Economics 31 Modern Portfolio Theory Harry Markowitz showed investors how to diversify their portfolios based on several assumptions: Investors are rational decision makers Investors are risk averse Investor preferences are based on a portfolio’s expected return and risk (as measured by variance or standard deviation) Introduced the notion of an efficient portfolio 32 The Efficient Portfolio The efficient portfolio is a collection of investments that offers the highest expected return for a given level of risk, or, equivalently, offers the lowest risk for a given expected return 33 The Efficient Frontier 34 The Efficient Frontier Portfolios are either: Attainable (lie on the minimum variance frontier), or Dominated (lower level of expected return for a given level of risk than another portfolio) 35 The Efficient Frontier Rational, risk-averse investors are interested in holding only those portfolios, such as Portfolio II, that offer the highest expected return for their given level of risk. A more aggressive (i.e., less risk averse) investor might choose Portfolio II, whereas a more conservative (i.e., more risk averse) investor might prefer Portfolio V (i.e., the MVP). 36 8.5 Diversification The reduction of risk by investing funds across several assets 37 Types of Risk Random diversification or naïve diversification is the act of randomly buying assets without regard to relevant investment characteristics (e.g., “dartboard”) 38 Types of Risk Unique risk, nonsystematic risk, or diversifiable risk-a company-specific part of total risk that is eliminated by diversification Market risk, systematic risk, beta risk, or nondiversifiable risk-a systematic part of total risk that cannot be eliminated by diversification 39 Types of Risk Total risk 40 = Market risk + Unique risk Summarizing Risks Risk that DISAPPEARS as you diversify • Diversifiable risk • Nonsystematic risk • Unique risk 41 Risk that REMAINS even when you diversify • • • • Market risk Systematic risk Nondiversifiable risk Beta risk Summary In financial decision making and analysis, we use both ex post and ex ante returns on investments: We use ex post returns when we look back at what has happened, and we use ex ante returns when we look forward, into the future. One measure of risk is the standard deviation, which is a measure of the dispersion of possible outcomes. 42 Summary When we invest in more than one investment, there may be some form of diversification, which is the reduction in risk from combining investments whose returns are not perfectly correlated. If we consider all possible investments and their respective expected return and risk, there are sets of investments that are better than others in terms of return and risk. These sets make up the efficient frontier. 43 Summary If we consider a company as a portfolio of investments, diversification plays a role in financial decision making. Financial managers need to consider not only what an investment looks like in terms of its return and risk as a stand-alone investment, but more important, how it fits into the company’s portfolio of investments. 44 Problem #1 Scenario Probability Outcome Good 30% $40 Normal 50% $20 Bad 20% $10 What is the expected value and standard deviation for this probability distribution? 45 Problem #2 The Key Company is evaluating two projects: Project 1 has a 40% chance of generating a return of 20% and a 60% change of generating a return of -10%. Project 2 has a 20% chance of generating a return of 30% and an 80% chance of return of 5%. Which project is riskier? Why? 46 Problem #3 Suppose the covariance between the returns on project A and B is -0.0045. And suppose the standard deviations of A and B are 0.1 and 0.3, respectively. What is the correlation between A and B’s returns? 47
