Risk: The variability of returns from those that are expected.

Systematic Risk is the variability of return on stocks or portfolios associated with changes in return on the market as a whole.

Risk factors that affect a large number of assets,Also known as non-diversifiable risk or market risk,Includes such things as changes in GDP, inflation, interest rates, etc.

Unsystematic Risk is the variability of return on stocks or portfolios not explained by general market movements. It is avoidable through diversification.

Risk factors that affect a limited number of assets,Also known as unique risk and asset-specific risk,Includes such things as labor strikes, part shortages, etc. Return:

Income received on an investment plus any change in market price, usually expressed as a percent of the beginning market price of the investment.

1There is a reward for bearing risk2The greater the potential reward, the greater the risk3This is called the risk-return trade-off.

英文 考试

There is a reward for bearing risk;There is not a reward for bearing risk unnecessarily;The expected return on a risky asset depends only on that asset’s systematic risk since unsystematic risk can be diversified away Risk Premiums(风险溢价)

The “extra” return earned for taking on risk Treasury bills are considered to be risk-free The risk premium is the return over and above the risk-free rate

Standard Deviation(标准差), is a statistical measure of the variability of a distribution around its mean.

Coefficient of Variation(变化系数)The ratio of the standard deviation of a distribution to the mean of that distribution. Systematic Risk

Risk factors that affect a large number of assets

Also known as non-diversifiable risk or market risk

Includes such things as changes in GDP, inflation, interest rates, etc. Unsystematic Risk

Risk factors that affect a limited number of assets

Also known as unique risk and asset-specific risk

Includes such things as labor strikes, part shortages, etc.

Systematic Risk Principle

There is a reward for bearing risk

There is not a reward for bearing risk unnecessarily

The expected return on a risky asset depends only on that asset’s systematic risk since unsystematic risk can be diversified away Total Risk

Total risk = systematic risk + unsystematic risk

The standard deviation of returns is a measure of total risk

For well diversified portfolios, unsystematic risk is very small

Consequently, the total risk for a diversified portfolio is essentially equivalent to the systematic risk

Returns

Total Return = expected return + unexpected return

Unexpected return = systematic portion + unsystematic portion

Therefore, total return can be expressed as follows:

Total Return = expected return + systematic portion + unsystematic portion

Expected versus Unexpected Returns

Realized returns are generally not equal to expected returns

There is the expected component and the unexpected component

At any point in time, the unexpected return can be either positive or negative

Over time, the average of the unexpected component is zero Portfolios(组合)

A portfolio is a collection of assets

An asset’s risk and return is important in how it affects the risk and return of the portfolio The risk-return trade-off for a portfolio is measured by the portfolio expected return and standard deviation, just as with individual assets

CAPM Assumptions

1. Capital markets are efficient.

2. Homogeneous investor expectations over a given period.

3. Risk-free asset return is certain (use short- to intermediate-term Treasuries as a proxy).

4. Market portfolio contains only systematic risk (use S&P 500 Index or similar as a proxy).

Beta: An index of systematic risk.

It measures the sensitivity of a stock’s returns

Interpretation of the DOL

Key Conclusions to be Drawn from the previous slide and our Discussion of DOL DOL is a quantitative measure of the “sensitivity” of a firm’s operating profit to a change in the firm’s sales.

The closer that a firm operates to its break-even point, the higher is the absolute value of its DOL.

When comparing firms, the firm with the highest DOL is the firm that will be most “sensitive” to a change in sales.
