Trang 4Expected returns
• Expected returns are based on the probabilities of
possible outcomes.
• In this context, ‘expected’ means average if the
process is repeated many times.
• The ‘expected’ return does not even have to be a
possible return.
• Where:

– Ri = the expected return on an asset in state i

Trang 11• 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.

Trang 12Portfolio expected returns
• The expected return of a portfolio is the weighted
average of the expected returns for each asset in the portfolio.
• Weights (w j ) = percentage of portfolio invested in
each asset.
• You can also find the expected return by finding the portfolio return in each possible state and computing the expected value as we did with individual

Trang 19Expected vs unexpected
returns
• Realised 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.

Trang 20Announcements and news
• Announcements and news contain both
an expected component and a surprise component.
• It is the surprise component that affects
a share’s price and therefore its return.
• This is very obvious when we watch
how share prices move when an
unexpected announcement is made or earnings differ from what is anticipated.
Trang 21Efficient markets
• Efficient markets are a result of
investors trading on the unexpected
portion of announcements.
• The easier it is to trade on surprises,
the more efficient markets should be.
• Efficient markets involve random price
changes because we cannot predict
surprises.

of assets.

Unexpected return
R = E(R) + U
• Unexpected return (U) = Systematic
portion (m) + Unsystematic portion (ε)
• Total return = Expected return E(R)
+ Systematic portion m
+ Unsystematic portion ε
= E(R) + m + ε

company shares, you are not

Table 11.7
Trang 27The principle of diversification
• Diversification can substantially reduce the variability of returns without an
equivalent reduction in expected
returns.
• This reduction in risk arises because
worse than expected returns from one
asset are offset by better than expected returns from another.
• However, there is a minimum level of
risk that cannot be diversified away and that is the systematic portion.

Figure 11.1
Trang 29Diversifiable risk
• The risk that can be eliminated by
combining assets into a portfolio.
• Often considered the same as
unsystematic, unique or asset-specific
risk.
• If we hold only one asset, or assets in
the same industry, then we are
exposing ourselves to risk that we
could diversify away.

Trang 30Total 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.
• Total risk for a diversified portfolio is
essentially equivalent to the systematic risk.
Trang 31Systematic risk principle
• There is a reward for bearing risk.
• There is no reward for bearing risk
unnecessarily.
• The expected return on a risky asset
depends solely on that asset’s
systematic risk, since unsystematic risk can be diversified away.

Trang 32Measuring systematic risk
• How do we measure systematic risk?
• We use the beta (β) coefficient to
measure systematic risk.
• What does beta tell us?
– A beta of 1 implies the asset has the same systematic risk as the overall market.
– A beta < 1 implies the asset has less
systematic risk than the overall market.
– A beta > 1 implies the asset has more
systematic risk than the overall market.

Trang 37Beta and the risk premium
• Remember that the Risk premium =
Expected return – Risk-free rate.
• The higher the beta, the greater the risk premium should be.
• Can we define the relationship between the risk premium and beta so that we
can estimate the expected return?
– YES!

assets, the result should be a straight
line.

Trang 44Capital asset pricing model
• The capital asset pricing model
(CAPM) defines the relationship
between risk and return.
• E(R A ) = R f + A (E(R M ) – R f ).
• If we know an asset’s systematic risk,
we can use the CAPM to determine its expected return.
• This is true whether we are talking
about financial assets or physical
assets.
Trang 45Factors affecting expected
return
• Pure time value of money—measured
by the risk-free rate.
• Reward for bearing systematic risk—
measured by the market risk premium.
• Amount of systematic risk—measured
by beta.
