Introducton In the next three chapters, we wll examne dfferent aspects of captal market theory, ncludng: Brngng rsk and return nto the pcture of nvestment management Markowtz optmzaton Modelng rsk and return CAPM, APT, and varatons Estmatng rsk and return the Sngle-Index Model (SIM) and rsk and expected return factor models These provde the framework for both modern fnance, whch we have brefly dscussed already, as well as for quanttatve nvestment management, whch wll be the subject of the next secton of the course Lecture Presentaton Software to accompany Investment Analyss and Portfolo Management Seventh Edton by Frank K. Relly & Keth C. Brown Chapter 7 Chapter 7 - An Introducton to Portfolo Management Questons to be answered: What do we mean by rsk averson and what evdence ndcates that nvestors are generally rsk averse? What are the basc assumptons behnd the Markowtz portfolo theory? What s meant by rsk and what are some of the alternatve measures of rsk used n nvestments? 1
Chapter 7 - An Introducton to Portfolo Management How do you compute the expected rate of return for an ndvdual rsky asset or a portfolo of assets? How do you compute the standard devaton of rates of return for an ndvdual rsky asset? What s meant by the covarance between rates of return and how do you compute covarance? Chapter 7 - An Introducton to Portfolo Management What s the relatonshp between covarance and correlaton? What s the formula for the standard devaton for a portfolo of rsky assets and how does t dffer from the standard devaton of an ndvdual rsky asset? Gven the formula for the standard devaton of a portfolo, how and why do you dversfy a portfolo? Chapter 7 - An Introducton to Portfolo Management What happens to the standard devaton of a portfolo when you change the correlaton between the assets n the portfolo? What s the rsk-return effcent fronter? Is t reasonable for alternatve nvestors to select dfferent portfolos from the portfolos on the effcent fronter? What determnes whch portfolo on the effcent fronter s selected by an ndvdual nvestor?
Background Ideas As an nvestor you want to maxmze the returns for a gven level of rsk. The relatonshp between the returns for the dfferent assets n the portfolo s mportant. A good portfolo s not smply a collecton of ndvdually good nvestments. Rsk Averson Gven a choce between two assets wth equal rates of return, most nvestors wll select the asset wth the lower level of rsk. Rsk averson s a consequence of decreasng margnal utlty of consumpton. Evdence That Investors are Rsk-Averse Many nvestors purchase nsurance for: Lfe, Automoble, Health, and Dsablty Income. The purchaser trades known costs for unknown rsk of loss. Yelds on bonds ncrease wth rsk classfcatons, from AAA to AA to A Lottery tckets seemngly contradct rsk averson, but provde potental for purchasers to move nto a new class of consumpton. 3
Defnton of Rsk But, how do you actually defne rsk? 1. Uncertanty of future outcomes or. Probablty of an adverse outcome Markowtz Portfolo Theory Old adage s: Don t put all your eggs n one basket. But, how many baskets should you use? And how what proporton of your eggs should you put n each basket? Harry Markowtz wrestled wth these questons fgured out a way to answer both of them Earned a Nobel Prze n Economcs (1990) for hs efforts Markowtz Portfolo Theory Quantfes rsk Derves the expected rate of return for a portfolo of assets and an expected rsk measure Shows that the varance of the rate of return s a meanngful measure of portfolo rsk Derves the formula for computng the varance of a portfolo, showng how to effectvely dversfy a portfolo Provdes both: the foundaton for Modern Fnance a key tool for Haugen s New Fnance 4
Assumptons of Markowtz Portfolo Theory 1. Investors consder each nvestment alternatve as beng presented by a probablty dstrbuton of expected returns over some holdng perod. Assumptons of Markowtz Portfolo Theory. Investors mnmze one-perod expected utlty, and ther utlty curves demonstrate dmnshng margnal utlty of wealth. I.e., nvestors lke hgher returns, but they are rsk-averse n seekng those returns And, agan, ths s a one-perod model (.e., the portfolo wll need to be rebalanced at some pont n the future n order to reman optmal) Assumptons of Markowtz Portfolo Theory 3. Investors estmate the rsk of the portfolo on the bass of the varablty of expected returns. I.e., out of all the possble measures, varance s the key measure of rsk 5
Assumptons of Markowtz Portfolo Theory 4. Investors base decsons solely on expected return and rsk, so ther utlty curves are a functon of only expected portfolo returns and the expected varance (or standard devaton) of portfolo returns. Investors utlty curves are functons of only expected return and the varance (or standard devaton) of returns. Stocks returns are normally dstrbuted or follow some other dstrbuton that s fully descrbed by mean and varance. Assumptons of Markowtz Portfolo Theory 5. For a gven rsk level, nvestors prefer hgher returns to lower returns. Smlarly, for a gven level of expected returns, nvestors prefer less rsk to more rsk. Markowtz Portfolo Theory Usng these fve assumptons, a sngle asset or portfolo of assets s consdered to be effcent f no other asset or portfolo of assets offers hgher expected return wth the same (or lower) rsk, or lower rsk wth the same (or hgher) expected return. 6

Varance (Standard Devaton) of Returns for an Indvdual Investment Varance s a measure of the varaton of possble rates of return R, away from the expected rate of return [E(R )]. Standard devaton s the square root of the varance.

Standard Devaton of Returns for a Portfolo Formula: Two-Stock: More than two stocks: Portfolo Standard Devaton Calculaton Any asset of a portfolo may be descrbed by two characterstcs: The expected rate of return The expected standard devatons of returns A thrd characterstc, the covarance between a par of stocks, also drves the portfolo standard devaton Unlke portfolo expected return, portfolo standard devaton s not smply a weghted average of the standard devatons for the ndvdual stocks For a well-dversfed portfolo, the man source of portfolo rsk s covarance rsk; the lower the covarance rsk, the lower the total portfolo rsk Covarance of Returns Covarance s a measure of: the degree of co-movement between two stocks returns, or the extent to whch the two varables move together relatve to ther ndvdual mean values over tme 9
Covarance of Returns For two assets, and j, the covarance of rates of return s defned as: σ or σ j j = = ( ) ( R E ( R )) R j E ( R j ) R ( ) ( R s E ( R )) R js E ( R j ) s S dp, j P s Covarance and Correlaton The correlaton coeffcent s obtaned by standardzng (dvdng) the covarance by the product of the ndvdual standard devatons Covarance and Correlaton Correlaton coeffcent vares from -1 to +1 Covj rj = σ σ where : r = the correlaton coeffcent of returns j σ = the standard devaton of R j j σ = the standard devaton of R t jt 10
Correlaton Coeffcent It can vary only n the range +1 to -1. A value of +1 would ndcate perfect postve correlaton. Ths means that returns for the two assets move together n a completely lnear manner. A value of 1 would ndcate perfect correlaton. Ths means that the returns for two assets have the same percentage movement, but n opposte drectons Correlaton Coeffcent Parameters vs. Estmates Unfortunately, no one knows the true values for the expected return and varance and covarance of returns These must be estmated from the avalable data The most basc way to estmate these s the naïve or uncondtonal estmate uses the sample mean, sample varance, and sample covarance from a tme seres sample of stock returns Typcal tme seres used s last 60 months (5 years ) worth of monthly returns More sophstcated methods for estmatng these wll be dscussed n subsequent chapters 11

Three key problems complcate mplementaton: 1. Too many nputs requred. Use of estmates can lead to error maxmzaton 3. Relance on hstorcal data to obtan estmates Implementaton Issues 1. Too many nputs requred Lmt use to asset allocaton or small-scale problems Use factor models to obtan / develop correlaton estmates Allows for use wth much larger scale problems E.g., all 1700 stocks that Value Lne follows Smplest factor model s the sngle-ndex market model 19
