1 Financial Economics 4: Portfolio Theory Stefano Lovo HEC, Paris
2 What is a portfolio? Definition A portfolio is an amount of money invested in a number of financial assets. Example Portfolio A is worth Eu 100, 000 and consists of Eu 5, 000 invested in Alcatel shares. Eu 0, 000 invested in Michelin shares. Eu 18, 000 invested in JP Morgan shares. Eu, 000 Invested in gold. Eu 15, 000 invested in German Treasury bills. Vector representation: X A = {x Al, x M, x Jp, x g, x Tb } = {0.5, 0., 0.18, 0., 0.15} Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory / 40
3 Notation Let S = {s 1, s,..., s N } be the set of financial assets available in the economy. Let {v 1, v,..., v N } be the amount of money invested in each one of the N assets to obtain portfolio A. Today the value of portfolio A is V A = N v i = v 1 + v + + v n. i=1 The composition of the portfolio A is X A = {x 1, x,..., x N } where and x i = v i V A. N x i = x 1 + x + + x n = 1 i=1 Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 3 / 40
4 Some portfolios S = {s 1, s, s 3 } = {Alcatel, BMW, Treasury bill} 1 Only long positions V A = 5, 000 +, , 000 = 17, 000 X A = { 5,000 17,000,,000 17,000, 10,000 17,000 } {0.9, 0.1, 0.59} Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 4 / 40
5 Some portfolios S = {s 1, s, s 3 } = {Alcatel, BMW, Treasury bill} 1 Only long positions V A = 5, 000 +, , 000 = 17, 000 X A = { 5,000 17,000,,000 17,000, 10,000 17,000 } {0.9, 0.1, 0.59} Short position V B = 15, , 000 4, 000 = 17, 000 X B = { 15,000 17,000, 6,000 17,000, 4,000 17,000 } {0.88, 0.353, 0.35} Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 4 / 40
6 Short selling an asset Example Let X B = {0.88, 0.353, 0.35}, then portfolio B has a short position in asset s 3. Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 5 / 40
7 Short selling an asset Example Let X B = {0.88, 0.353, 0.35}, then portfolio B has a short position in asset s 3. How to short sell an asset i At time 0: 1 You borrow the asset i from your broker. You sell the asset in the stock market at price P i (0). Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 5 / 40
8 Short selling an asset Example Let X B = {0.88, 0.353, 0.35}, then portfolio B has a short position in asset s 3. How to short sell an asset i At time 0: 1 You borrow the asset i from your broker. You sell the asset in the stock market at price P i (0). At time 1: 1 You pay your broker whatever dividend the asset has paid at time 1. You buy the asset in the stock market at price P i (1). 3 You return the asset to your broker. The broker charges you a fee for lending you the asset and asks for a collateral. Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 5 / 40
9 Portfolio return rate example Asset p i (0) p i (1) D i r i Alcatel % BMW % T.B % You invest Eu 100 into portfolio X C = {x Al, x BM, x TB } = {0.8, 0., 0}. What is the rate of return of your portfolio? At t = 1 portfolio C is worth (1+r Al ) (1+r BM ) = 80(1.06)+0(1.1) = hence r C = = 6.8% = 80(1.06)+0(1.1) (80+0) 100 = = = 0.8 6% % = x Al r Al + x BM r BM Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 6 / 40
10 Return rate of a portfolio Return rate on a long position (buy) on portfolio A: 1 At time 0 you buy the portfolio at X a = {x 1, x,..., x n }. At time 1 you receive dividends from each stock 3 At time 1 you resell the portfolio. The return rate r A on your investment in Portfolio A is r A = n r i x i = r 1 x 1 + r x + + r n x n. i=1 Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 7 / 40
11 Uncertainty Theorem Let S = {s 1, s,..., s N } be the set of available assets. Let r 1, r,..., r N be N random variables representing the return rates on assets s 1, s,..., s N, respectively. Then, the rate of return of a portfolio A with composition X A = {x 1, x,..., x N } is a random variable r A := N x i r i i=1 Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 8 / 40
12 Uncertainty Example The rate of return of a portfolio composed of risky asset is uncertain: S = {Alcatel, BMW } Portfolio A: X A = {0.8, 0.} Event r Al r BM r A The economy is booming 1% 0% 0.8 1%+0. 0%=13.6% The economy is in recession -3% -15% %-0. 15% =-5.4% Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 9 / 40
13 Expected return on a portfolio Theorem The expected return rate on a portfolio with composition X = {x 1, x,..., x n } is: E [ r X = x1 E [ r 1 + x E [ r + + xn E [ r n = n x i E [ r i. i=1 Example S={Al,BM} X A ={0.8,0.} E [ r Al =1.5% E [ r BM =-4.5% E [ r A Event Prob r Al r BM r A Boom 0.3 1% 0% 13.6% Recession 0.7-3% -15% -5.4% = % % = 0.3% = % % = 0.3% Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 10 / 40
14 Expected return on a portfolio Theorem The expected return rate on a portfolio with composition X = {x 1, x,..., x n } is: E [ r X = x1 E [ r 1 + x E [ r + + xn E [ r n = n x i E [ r i. i=1 Example S={Al,BM} X A ={0.8,0.} E [ r Al =1.5% E [ r BM =-4.5% E [ r A Event Prob r Al r BM r A Boom 0.3 1% 0% 13.6% Recession 0.7-3% -15% -5.4% = % % = 0.3% = % % = 0.3% Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 11 / 40
15 Expected return on a portfolio: QCQ Assets s 1 s s 3 s 4 E [ r i 30% 5% 8% % What are the expected returns of the following portfolios? x 1 x x 3 x 4 X A X B X C X D Answers: E [r A = 5%, E [r B = 11.7%, E [r C = 3.4%, E [r D = 16.%. Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 1 / 40
16 Variance of the return rate of a portfolio Theorem The variance of the return rate on a portfolio with composition X = {x 1, x,..., x n } is: σ X := Var [ r X = n n x i x j σ ij i=1 j=1 where σ ii = Var [ r i and σij := Cov [ r i, r j. for n = : σ X = x 1 σ 1 + x σ + x 1x Cov [ r 1, r Since x 1 + x = 1 and Cov [ r i, r j = ρ1, σ 1 σ, σ X = x 1 σ 1 + (1 x 1) σ + x 1(1 x 1 )ρ 1, σ 1 σ Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 13 / 40
17 Variance of the return rate of a portfolio: example Example S = {s 1, s } s 1 s σ i 30% 1% ρ If the composition of portfolio A is X A = {0.8, 0.}, then σ A = x 1 σ 1 + (1 x 1) σ + x 1(1 x 1 )ρ 1 σ 1 σ = = = 0.05 σ A = σ A = 0.05 =.7% Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 14 / 40
18 Summing-up about portfolios 1 Ingredients: Set of available assets S = {s 1, s,..., s n } Recipe: Portfolio composition X = {x 1, x,..., x n } satisfying n x i = 1. i=1 3 Gain: Expected return of a portfolio E [ r n X = x i E [ r i. i=1 4 Risk: variance of the portfolio s return Var [ r X = n n x i x j σ ij i=1 j=1 Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 15 / 40

20 Risk aversion Definition A Mean-Variance investor is someone who likes high expected return portfolios and exhibits risk aversion. More precisely: 1 The investor only cares about E [ r X and σ X. Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 16 / 40
21 Risk aversion Definition A Mean-Variance investor is someone who likes high expected return portfolios and exhibits risk aversion. More precisely: 1 The investor only cares about E [ r X and σ X. For a given level of risk σx, he/she prefers the portfolio with the largest expected return E [ r X. Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 16 / 40
22 Risk aversion Definition A Mean-Variance investor is someone who likes high expected return portfolios and exhibits risk aversion. More precisely: 1 The investor only cares about E [ r X and σ X. For a given level of risk σx, he/she prefers the portfolio with the largest expected return E [ r X. 3 For a given level of expected return E [ r X, he/she prefers the portfolio with the lowest risk σ X. Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 16 / 40
23 Risk aversion Definition A Mean-Variance investor is someone who likes high expected return portfolios and exhibits risk aversion. More precisely: 1 The investor only cares about E [ r X and σ X. For a given level of risk σx, he/she prefers the portfolio with the largest expected return E [ r X. 3 For a given level of expected return E [ r X, he/she prefers the portfolio with the lowest risk σ X. 4 A Mean-Variance investor chooses the portfolio that maximizes the following utility function U (X) := E [ r X a σ X where a is the investor s personal degree of risk aversion. Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 16 / 40
24 Risk aversion: Graphically Portfolio X is at least as good as portfolio X iff U(X) U(X ). E [ r X D B A C B C D A? D B? D A B C σ X Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 17 / 40
25 Diversification Rule 0: Diversification of your investment allows to reduce the risk of your portfolio. Example E [ r 1 Cov [ r 1, r Event Prob. r 1 r ω % 5% ω % 15% ω 0.5 0% 5% ω % 15% = E [ r = 10%, σ1 = 10%, σ = 5% = ρ 1, = 0 If X = {0., 0.8}, then E [ r X = 10% σ X = = 4.47% < 5% Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 18 / 40
26 Diversifying Example E [ r 1 Event Prob. r 1 r ω % 15% ω % 15% ω 0.5 0% 5% ω % 5% = E [ r = 10%, σ1 = 10%, σ = 5% ρ 1, = 1 If X = { 1 3, 3 }, then E [ r X = 10% (1 σ X = ) ( ) = 0 9 Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 19 / 40
27 Minimum Variance Portfolio S = {s 1, s }. What is the composition of the portfolio (x 1, x ) that has the minimum variance? min x x 1,x 1 σ 1 + x σ + x 1x ρ 1 σ 1 σ s.t. x 1 + x = 1 x min 1 = σ (σ ρ 1 σ 1 ) σ 1 +σ ρ 1σ 1 σ, x min = 1 x min 1 σ min = (1 ρ 1 )σ 1 σ σ 1 +σ ρ 1σ 1 σ Remarks: If ρ 1 1, then x min 1 > 0 and x min > 0 If σ 1 > σ and ρ 1 is close enough to 1 then short sell s 1. If ρ 1 = ±1, then σ min = 0. Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 0 / 40
28 Limit of risk reduction through diversification Definition The idiosyncratic risk on stock i is the uncertainty on r i linked to risk factors that are specific to firm i. Examples: changes in management, production process innovation, local strikes, etc. The systematic risk on stock i is the uncertainty on r i linked to risk factors that affect the whole economy and are common to other stocks. Examples: Wars, political change, general economic downturn, pandemics, etc. Theorem Diversification intended as buying a large number of different assets can eliminate the idiosyncratic risk but not the systematic risk.

29 Limit of diversification σ X Idiosyncratic risk Systematic risk Number of securities Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory / 40
30 Portfolio choice Assumptions 1 S = {s 1, s,..., s n } Any assets i < n is a risky asset with return r i. 3 Asset n is a risk-free asset with r n = r f. (Ex. Treasury bill) 4 Investors are mean-variance investors. Implication: Choose thex = {x 1,..., x f } that maximizes U (X) := E [ r X a σ X subject to 1 = x 1 + x + + x f, E [ r X = n x i E [ r i, Var [ r X = i=1 n i=1 j=1 n x i x j σ ij. Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 3 / 40
31 Efficient Portfolio Definition A portfolio A is said to be efficient if there exists no other portfolio B satisfying: σ B σ A and E [ r B E [ r A with at least one strict inequality. Portfolio choice methodology 1 Determine the set of couple risk-return (E [ r X, σ X ) reachable by combining the available assets S. Identify the set of portfolios that are efficient. 3 Among the set of efficient portfolios choose the one that best fits the investor s risk aversion. Stefano Lovo, HEC Paris Portfolio Theory 4 / 40
