Trang 3Arbitrage Pricing Theory
Arbitrage arises if an investor can construct a zero investment portfolio with a sure profit Since no investment is required, an investor can create large positions to secure large
levels of profit.
In efficient markets, profitable arbitrage
opportunities will quickly disappear.

Trang 511.1 Factor Models: Announcements,
Surprises, and Expected Returns
Any announcement can be broken down into two parts, the anticipated or expected part and the
surprise or innovation:
Announcement = Expected part + Surprise.
The expected part of any announcement is part of the information the market uses to form the
expectation, R of the return on the stock.
The surprise is the news that influences the
unanticipated return on the stock, U.

Trang 611.2 Risk: Systematic and Unsystematic
A systematic risk is any risk that affects a large number
of assets, each to a greater or lesser degree
An unsystematic risk is a risk that specifically affects a
single asset or small group of assets
Unsystematic risk can be diversified away
Examples of systematic risk include uncertainty about
general economic conditions, such as GNP, interest rates
or inflation
On the other hand, announcements specific to a
company, such as a gold mining company striking gold, are examples of unsystematic risk

Trang 811.3 Systematic Risk and Betas
The beta coefficient, , tells us the response of the
stock’s return to a systematic risk.
In the CAPM, measured the responsiveness of a
security’s return to a specific risk factor, the return
on the market portfolio.
We shall now consider many types of systematic
risk.

by 3%, but in fact was 8% during the time period, then
F I = Surprise in the inflation rate

Trang 1511.4 Portfolios and Factor Models
Now let us consider what happens to portfolios of stocks when each of the stocks follows a one-
factor model.
We will create portfolios from a list of N stocks
and will capture the systematic risk with a
1-factor model.
The ith stock in the list have returns:

Trang 2511.6 The Capital Asset Pricing Model and the
Arbitrage Pricing Theory
APT applies to well diversified portfolios and not necessarily to individual stocks.
With APT it is possible for some individual
stocks to be mispriced - not lie on the SML.
APT is more general in that it gets to an expected return and beta relationship without the
assumption of the market portfolio.
APT can be extended to multifactor models.

Trang 26Be aware that correlation does not imply causality.
Related to empirical methods is the practice of
classifying portfolios by style e.g.
Value portfolio Growth portfolio
Both the CAPM and APT are risk-based models There are alternatives
Empirical methods are based less on theory and more on looking for some regularities in the historical record

Trang 2711.8 Summary and Conclusions
The APT assumes that stock returns are generated according to
factor models such as:
As securities are added to the portfolio, the unsystematic risks of the individual securities offset each other A fully diversified
portfolio has no unsystematic risk.
The CAPM can be viewed as a special case of the APT.
Empirical models try to capture the relations between returns and stock attributes that can be measured directly from the data
without appeal to theory.
