TABLE 7-1 Types of RiskRisk Type Description

Call risk The variability of return caused by the repurchase of the security before its stated maturity.

Convertible risk The variability of return caused when one type of security is converted into another type of security.

Default risk The probability of a return of zero when the issuer of the security is unable to make interest and principal payments—or for equities, the probability that the market price of the stock will go to zero when the firm goes bankrupt.

Interest-rate risk The variability of return caused by the movement of interest rates.

Management risk The variability of return caused by bad management decisions; this is usually a part of the unsystematic risk of a stock, although it can affect the amount of systematic risk.

Marketability risk(Liquidity risk)

The variability of return caused by the commissions and price concessions associated with selling an illiquid asset.

Political risk The variability of return caused by changes in laws, taxes, or other government actions.

Purchasing-power risk The variability of return caused by inflation, which erodes the real value of the return.

Systematic risk The variability of a single security’s return caused by the general rise or fall of the entire market.

Unsystematic risk The variability of return caused by factors unique to the individual security.

• Business risk refers to the degree of fluctuation of net income associated with different types of business operations. This kind of risk is related to different types of business and operating strategies.

• Financial risk refers to the variability of returns associated with leverage decisions. The question then arises as to how much of the firm should be financed with equity and how much should be financed with debt.

7.2 PORTFOLIO ANALYSIS AND APPLICATION

• Expected Return on a Portfolio• Variance and Standard Deviation of a Portfolio

• The Two-Asset Case• Asset Allocation among Risk-Free Asset, Corporate Bond, and Equity

7

7.2.1 Expected Return on a Portfolio

• Portfolio analysis is used to determine the return and risk for these combinations of assets.

• The rate of return on a portfolio is simply the weighted average of the returns of individual securities in the portfolio.

in which are the percentages of the portfolio invested in securities A, B, and C, respectively.

7.2.4 Asset Allocation among Risk-Free Asset, Corporate Bond, and Equity• The most straightforward way to control the risk of the portfolio is through the fraction of the portfolio invested in Treasury bills and other safe money market securities versus risky assets.

• The capital allocation decision is an example of an asset allocation choice — a choice among broad investment classes, rather than among the specific securities within each asset class.

• Most investment professionals consider asset allocation as the most important part of portfolio construction.

25

Sample Problem 7.4• Private fund $500,000 investing in a risk-free asset $100,000, risky equities (E) $240,000, and long-term bonds (B) $160,000.

• Current risky portfolio consists 60% of E and 40% of B, and the weight of the risky portfolio in the mutual fund is 80%.

26

Sample Problem 7.4• Suppose the fund manager wishes to decrease risk portfolio from 80% to 70%, then should sell $400,000-0.7 ($500,000)=$50,000 of risky holdings, with the proceed used to purchase more shares in risk-free asset.

• To keep the same weights of E and B (60% and 40%)in the risky portfolio, the fund manager should sell

• 0.6×50,000=$30,000 in E• 0.4×50,000=$20,000 in B

28

7.3.1 The Efficient Portfolio

• Definition: A portfolio is efficient, if there exists no other portfolio having the same expected return at a lower variance of returns, or, if no other portfolio has a higher expected return as the same risk of returns.

• This suggests that given two investments, A and B, investment A will be preferred to B if:

Where E(A) and E(B) = the expected returns of A and B, Var(A) and Var(B) = their respective variances or risk.

Sample Problem 7.5• Monthly rates of return for April, 2001 to April, 2010 for

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and IBM are used as examples. The basic statistical estimates for these two firms are average monthly rates of return and the variance-covariance matrix.in Table 7.3:

JNJ 0.0025 0.0007

Using the weight estimates and Equations (7.2) and (7.3):

When is less than 1.00 it indicates that the combination of the two securities will result in a total risk less than their added respective risks.

7.3.2 Corporate Application of Diversification• The effect of diversification is not necessarily limited to

securities but may have wider applications at the corporate level.

• Instead of “putting all the eggs in one basket,” the investment risks are spread out among many lines of services or products in hope of reducing the overall risks involved and maximizing returns.

• The overall goal is to reduce business risk fluctuations of net income.

33

7.3.3 The Dominance Principle• The dominance principle has been developed as a means of conceptually

understanding the risk/return tradeoff.

• As with the efficient-frontier analysis, we must assume an investor prefers returns and dislikes risks.

34

7.3.4 Three Performance Measures The Sharpe measure (SP) (Sharpe, 1966) is of immediate concern.

Given two of the portfolios depicted in Figure 7.4, portfolios B and D, their relative risk-return performance can be compared using the equations:

Sharpe measure (SP)If a riskless rate exists, then all investors would prefer A to B because combinations of A and the riskless asset give higher returns for the same level of risk than combinations of the riskless asset and B.

36

Sample Problem 7.6

Using the Sharpe performance measure, the risk-return measurements for these two firms are:

Treynor measure (TP)• Treynor measure (TP), developed by Treynor in 1965, examines

differential return when beta is the risk measure.

The Treynor measure can be expressed by the following:

7.5 The Market Rate Of Return And Market Risk Premium

• The market rate of return is the return that can be expected from the market portfolio.

• The market rate of return can be calculated using one of several types of market indicator series, such as the Dow-Jones Industrial Average or the Standard and Poor (S&P) 500 by using the following equation:

7.5 The Market Rate Of Return And Market Risk Premium • A risk-free investment is one in which the investor is sure

about the timing and amount of income streams arising from that investment.

• The reasonable investor dislikes risks and uncertainty and would, therefore, require an additional return on his investment to compensate for this uncertainty. This return, called the risk premium, is added to the nominal risk-free rate.

• Table 7.9 illustrates the concept of risk premium by using the market rate of return of S&P 500 index.

7.6 SUMMARY

This chapter has defined the basic concepts of risk and risk measurement. The efficient-portfolio concept and its implementation was demonstrated using the relationships of risk and return. The dominance principle and performance measures were also discussed and illustrated. Finally, the interest rate and market rate of return were used as measurements to show how the commercial lending rate and the market risk premium can be calculated.

Overall, this chapter has introduced uncertainty analysis assuming

previous exposure to certainty concepts. Further application of the concepts discussed in this chapter as related to security analysis and portfolio management are explored in later chapters.
