Measuring the risk of an individual asset
• La mesure du risque d’un titre dans un portefeuille doit tenir compte de l’impact de la diversification.
• L’écart type n’est donc pas la bonne mesure.
• Le risque se mesure par la contribution du titre au risque du portefeuille.
• Remember: the optimal portfolio is the market portfolio.
• The risk of an individual asset is measured by beta.
• The definition of beta is:

Beta
• Plusieurs interprétations du beta:
• (1) Beta mesure la sensibilité de Ri par rapport au marché
• (2) Beta is the relative contribution of stock i to the variance of the market portfolio
• (3) Beta indicates whether the risk of the portfolio will increase or decrease if the weight of i in the portfolio is slightly modified

A measure of systematic risk : beta
• Consider the following linear model
• Rt Realized return on a security during period t
A constant : a return that the stock will realize in any period
• RMt Realized return on the market as a whole during period t
A measure of the response of the return on the security to the return on the market
• ut A return specific to the security for period t (idosyncratic return or unsystematic return)- a random variable with mean 0
• Partition of yearly return into:
– Market related part ß RMt
– Company specific part + ut

Measuring Beta
• Data: past returns for the security and for the market
• Do linear regression : slope of regression = estimated beta

Beta and the decomposition of the variance
• The variance of the market portfolio can be expressed as:
• To calculate the contribution of each security to the overall risk, divide each term by the variance of the portfolio

Capital asset pricing model (CAPM)
• Sharpe (1964) Lintner (1965)
• Assumptions
• Perfect capital markets
• Homogeneous expectations
• Main conclusions: Everyone picks the same optimal portfolio
• Main implications:
– 1. M is the market portfolio : a market value weighted portfolio of all stocks
– 2. The risk of a security is the beta of the security:
• Beta measures the sensitivity of the return of an individual security to the return of the market portfolio
• The average beta across all securities, weighted by the proportion of each security's market value to that of the market is 1
MBA 2006 Risk and return (2) |9
Inside beta
• Remember the relationship between the correlation coefficient and the covariance:
• Beta can be written as:
• Two determinants of beta
– the correlation of the security return with the market
– the volatility of the security relative to the volatility of the market

Properties of beta
• Two importants properties of beta to remember
• (1) The weighted average beta across all securities is 1
• (2) The beta of a portfolio is the weighted average beta of the securities

Risk premium and beta
• 3. The expected return on a security is positively related to its beta
• Capital-Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) :
• The expected return on a security equals:
the risk-free rate
plus
the excess market return (the market risk premium)

Pratical implications
• Efficient market hypothesis + CAPM: passive investment
• Buy index fund
• Choose asset allocation
Arbitrage Pricing Model
Professeur André Farber
MBA 2006 Risk and return (2) |16
Market Model
• Consider one factor model for stock returns:
• Rj = realized return on stock j
• = expected return on stock j
• F = factor – a random variable E(F) = 0
• εj = unexpected return on stock j – a random variable
• E(εj) = 0 Mean 0
• cov(εj ,F) = 0 Uncorrelated with common factor
• cov(εj ,εk) = 0 Not correlated with other stocks

Diversification
• Suppose there exist many stocks with the same βj.
• Build a diversified portfolio of such stocks.
• The only remaining source of risk is the common factor.

Created riskless portfolio
• Combine two diversified portfolio i and j.
• Weights: xi and xj with xi+xj =1
• Return:
• Eliminate the impact of common factor riskless portfolio

Equilibrium
• No arbitrage condition:
• The expected return on a riskless portfolio is equal to the risk-free rate.
