7-1
Learning Objective
After learning this chapter students should be able; To measure the expected return and expected risk of a stock. To measure the return and risk for a portfolio.
7-2
Investment Decisions
7-3
Risk that an expected return will not be realized Investors must think about return distributions, not just a single return Probabilities weight outcomes
Should be assigned to each possible outcome to create a distribution Can be discrete or continuous
pg 177
7-4
Expected value
The single most likely outcome from a particular probability distribution The weighted average of all possible return outcomes Referred to as an ex ante or expected return
E(R ) = R ipri
i =1
7-5
Calculating Risk
Measures the spread in the probability distribution Variance of returns: = (Ri - E(R))pri Standard deviation of returns:
=()1/2
7-6
7-7
Each portfolio asset has a weight, w, which represents the percent of the total portfolio value
n
E(Rp ) = w iE(R i )
i =1 Refer to Example 7-4 pg 180 Try Problem 7-2 pg 196
7-8
Portfolio Risk
Portfolio risk is not simply the sum of individual security risks Emphasis on the risk of the entire portfolio and not on risk of individual securities in the portfolio Individual stocks are risky only if they add risk to the total portfolio
7-9
Portfolio Risk
Portfolio risk is not a weighted average of the risk of the individual securities in the portfolio

7-10
Assume all risk sources for a portfolio of securities are independent The larger the number of securities the smaller the exposure to any particular risk
Insurance principle
Random diversification
Diversifying without looking at relevant investment characteristics Marginal risk reduction gets smaller and smaller as more securities are added
A large number of securities is not required for significant risk reduction International diversification benefits

Markowitz Diversification
Active measurement and management of portfolio risk Investigate relationships between portfolio securities before making a decision to invest Takes advantage of expected return and risk for individual securities and how security returns move together
7-14
Calculated by a weighted variance using the proportion of funds in each security For security i: (wi i)2 Return co-variances are weighted using the proportion of funds in each security For securities i, j: 2wiwj ij
7-15
Correlation Coefficient
mn = +1.0 = perfect positive correlation mn = -1.0 = perfect negative (inverse) correlation mn = 0.0 = zero correlation
7-16
Correlation Coefficient
Risk is a weighted average, therefore there is no risk reduction (Refer to Figure 7-3 pg 185) Reduce the risk of the portfolio but cannot eliminate.
Covariance
Not limited to values between -1 and +1 Sign interpreted the same as correlation Correlation coefficient and covariance are related by the following equations:
AB = AB A B
7-18
Variance (risk) of each security Covariance between each pair of securities Portfolio weights for each security
Goal: select weights to determine the minimum variance combination for a given level of expected return
Refer to Example 7-7 pg 189 Try Problem 7-3 b. pg 196
7-19
Generalizations
the smaller the positive correlation between securities, the better Covariance calculations grow quickly
n(n-1) for n securities The importance of covariance relationships increases The importance of each individual securitys risk decreases
7-20
Requires a covariance between the returns of all securities in order to calculate portfolio variance n(n-1)/2 set of covariances for n securities
Markowitz suggests using an index to which all securities are related to simplify
