5 Preface In this edition, we have extensively updated and expanded the topics of futures and option. Therefore, we use a new title Security Analysis, Portfolio Management, and Financial Derivatives. The major changes of this edition are described as follows: (A) Update and expansion of the material of original chapters. (B) Update of empirical examples in original chapters. (C) There are 27 chapters in this edition. The new chapters included in this new edition are as follows: Chapter 18 Decision Tree and Microsoft Excel Approach for OPM Chapter 19 Normal, Log-normal Distribution, and Option Pricing Model Chapter 20 Comparative Static Analysis of the Option Pricing Models Chapter 25 Capturing Equity Risk Premia Chapter 26 Simultaneous Equation Models for Security Valuation (D) The chapters in this book fall into five parts: (i) Information and Security Valuation, (ii) Portfolio Theory and Asset Pricing, (iii) Futures and Option, (iv) Applied Portfolio Management, and (v) Special Topics. Based upon our personal teaching experience at various universities, we find that this book can be used in an investment analysis course, portfolio management course, or option and futures course. For an investment analysis course, we suggest instructors cover Chapters 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 21, 22, 25, and 26. For a portfolio management course, we suggest instructors cover Chapters 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25. For option and future course, we suggest instructors cover Chapters 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, and 27. v

7 Preface for Security Analysis and Portfolio Management Security Analysis and Portfolio Management integrates the many topics of modern investment analysis. It provides a balanced presentation of theories, institutions, markets, academic research, and practical applications, and presents both basic concepts and advanced principles. Topic coverage is especially broad: in analyzing securities, we look at stocks and bonds, options and futures, foreign exchange, and international securities. The discussion of options and futures includes a detailed analysis of hedging strategies. A unique chapter on market indices teaches students the basics of index information, calculation, and usage and illustrates the important roles that these indices play in model formation, performance evaluation, investment strategy, and hedging techniques. In addition, complete sections on program trading, portfolio insurance, duration and bond immunization, performance measurements, and the timing of stock selection provide realworld applications of investment theory. Security Analysis and Portfolio Management first discusses how finance theory and statistical and mathematical tools can be used effectively to analyze and determine the market value of bonds, stocks, options, futures, and options on futures. Second, based on this information, the text investigates issues related to equity portfolios, bond portfolios, and international portfolios. For equity-portfolio selection, the text discusses Markowitz s full-information methods, Sharpe s index methods, and the performance measure method. Finally, the efficient-market hypothesis, mutualfund timing and selectivity, and portfolio insurance are also explored in detail. The chapters in this book fall into five groups. The material in Chapters 2 7 review and extend the concepts and methods that students have learned from basic corporate finance and investment courses. vii

8 viii Security Analysis, Portfolio Management, and Financial Derivatives Chapters 8 11 present both the theoretical and empirical issues concerning the use of the market model, the CAPM, the APT, and risk diversification in security analysis and portfolio management. Chapters use the theories and methods presented in the first 11 chapters to investigate futures and options. Chapters cover applications of portfolio theories and models developed in the preceding chapters. Finally, Chapter 22 is meant only for advanced students who require an in-depth derivation of the Black Scholes option pricing model in terms of stochastic differential equations. It can be skipped over without loss of continuity. Accounting information is essential for business decision making because it describes both the financial assets and the real assets of a firm. Historical accounting information has been used extensively by security analysis and portfolio managers, while proponents of the semi-strong form of the efficient-market hypothesis regard such information as valueless. In Chapter 2, ratio analysis, regression analysis, and earnings-per-share estimation are considered. The use of financial information in security analysis is emphasized. The role of the investment advisor in evaluating and rating the financial instruments of various companies is employed as an example of the ways that accounting information can be used to make valuation recommendations. Chapter 3 deals with the measurement and the growth determination of rates of return on security investments. In addition to defining the holdingperiod return and the holding-period yield, three alternative methods for calculating average rates of return are discussed. These estimates can be used either to determine historical investment performance or to forecast future performance. It is known that a weighted unbiased estimator can be used to reduce or eliminate the bias in forecasting rates of return. Alternative methods of estimating growth rates are also discussed in Chapter 3. The relative advantages of these alternative methods are explored both theoretically and empirically. Possible applications of growth-rates estimation in security analysis and portfolio management are discussed. Chapter 4 reviews both pre-modigliani and Miller and M&M valuation theories in detail. The basic concepts of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) and the option pricing model are also explored in order to construct a rectangular theoretical framework of valuation. This chapter reviews basic theories that students have learned from a first course on either financial management or investment. Topics in this chapter can be

9 Preface for First Edition ix used as a review or as major theoretical background for understanding later chapters of this text. Chapter 5 extends the valuation analysis to the specific case of the debt instruments of corporations. Issues related to the yield curve, the term structure of interest rates, and bonds ratings are carefully analyzed. Chapter 6 discusses the computation of alternative market indices and examines the possible biases associated with using these indexes in investment analysis. The historical behavior of market indices and index forecasting are also explored. The Wilshire 5000 index is discussed in detail. In Chapter 7, sources of risk and basic portfolio analysis are investigated and used as a framework for further analysis of the CAPM and the market model. Chapter 8 discusses utility theory and Markowitz s fullinformation model of portfolio selection in detail. In Chapter 9, the market model and the CAPM are evaluated both theoretically and empirically. The applications of the market model to risk decomposition are analyzed using both fixed-coefficient regression models. Methods of forecasting beta coefficients are explored, using both accounting and market information. Chapter 10 addresses how Markowitz s full-information portfolioselection process can be simplified through the use of index models. In Chapter 11, multi-index models and the arbitrage pricing theory (APT) are discussed from both a theoretical and an empirical basis. Chapter 12 discusses the basic issues of futures markets and futures contracts. In addition, two alternative hedging methods are investigated in detail. Chapter 13 explores the use of commodity futures, financial futures, and stock-index futures. The valuation of these futures and their use in hedging is investigated. Chapters 14 and 15 outline the basic concepts of put and call options, and the option pricing model is derived using a binomial-model approach. Alternative applications of the option pricing theory (OPT) in the making of investment decisions are explored in detail. Chapter 16 deals with the concept of an efficient market and the empirical evidence that supports or refutes this hypothesis. The implications of market efficiency for security analysts and portfolio managers are also stressed. Chapter 17 discusses timing and selectivity of stocks and mutual funds from both a fundamental-analysis and technical-analysis perspective. Some forecasting models are examined, and Fama s breakdown of overall investment performance into several specific components is also covered. Chapter 18 illustrates how the Sharpe and Treynor performance measures can be used to simplify the portfolio-selection procedure. In Chapter 19, issues relating to international diversification, exchange-rate

10 x Security Analysis, Portfolio Management, and Financial Derivatives risk, the international CAPM, and international portfolio-selection methods are investigated in detail. Chapter 20 presents a discussion of the issues involved in the management of a fixed-income portfolio. Both duration and bond immunization are carefully analyzed in this chapter. Chapter 21 examines the use of hedging and portfolio-insurance strategies for equity and bond portfolio. This book is suitable for a second investment course at both the undergraduate and the graduate level. However, because Security Analysis and Portfolio Management addresses both the theoretical and the empirical sides of issues, and because it discusses both basic concepts and more advanced topics, it is suitable for a more quantitatively oriented first course in investment. In the development of this book, we have benefited from the reviews and comments of many individuals, including colleagues and students from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and other universities. We especially want to acknowledge the insightful comments and corrections of Louis Scott, University of Georgia; Steve Sears, Texas Tech; Cheryl Frohlich-Plumber, University of North Florida; Kent Zumwalt, Colorado State University; Henry R. Oppenheimer, Rhode Island University; A. G. Malliaris, Loyala University; Charles Corrado, Loyala University; Ron Moy, Rutgers University; John C. Lee, Laventhol and Horwath; C. C.
