The Risk of Individual Assets
Investors require compensation for bearing risk.We have seen that the standard deviation of the rate of return is an appropriate measure of risk for one’s portfolio.Standard deviation is not the best measure of risk for individual assets when investors hold diversified portfolios.

The Risk of Individual Assets (continued)
For people holding a diversified portfolio it is the contribution of the individual asset to the portfolio’s standard deviation that matters.
[If your portfolio involved only one asset, e.g. young Bill Gates, the portfolio standard deviation would be the standard deviation of the single asset.]

Beta as a Measure of Portfolio Risk: Class Example
Suppose you hold an equally weighted portfolio with 99 assetsWhat happens to the portfolio variance if a new asset, say IBM, is added to the portfolio?

Measuring BetasThe Market Model
Beta can be interpreted as the slope coefficient in a regression of the return on the ith security, ri, on the return for the market portfolio, rm.The interpretation rests on the market model:
rm represents “market risk” and εi represents “firm specific” risk independent of the market.See Spreadsheet example

The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
CAPM describes the relationship between an asset’s beta risk and its expected return as follows:
E r r E r ri f i m f( ) ( )= + −β
= riskfree rate + beta x market risk premium.

The Market Model and the Measures of Risk
The total risk of an asset, held alone, i.e. not as part of a diversified portfolio, would be measured by its variance, V(ri).According to the market model
Total risk = systematic market risk + unique riskThe unique risk can be eliminated through diversification.

Testing the CAPM
Key CAPM prediction: stocks with high betas should have high average returns; stocks with low betas should have low average returnsSimple test: compute average returns and betas for a bunch of stocks and see if the high beta stocks have higher average returns than the low beta stocksCAPM predicts a straight line relationship between average return and beta

Testing the CAPM
Testing involves a number of measurement problems:» for expected returns» for beta» for the market portfolio
© 2006 R.W.Parks/E. ZivotECON 422:CAPM16
Some Approaches Used to Addressthe Measurement Problems
Early studies by Black Jensen & Scholes (1972) and by Famaand McBeth (1973)Measurement of betas: data from period 1 used to estimate individual stock betas. These betas used to construct “decile portfolios”: stocks with betas in the lowest 10% grouped as the first portfolio. Stocks with betas in the next lowest 10% grouped as the second portfolio etc.» Portfolio betas are more accurate than single asset betas
Data from period 2 used to re-estimate betas and average returns for the 10 portfoliosLook at the regression of average return on betas for the 10 portfolios

Validity of the CAPMEvidence is mixed:» Long-run average returns are significantly related
to betas.» Beta is probably not a complete explanation.
– Low beta stocks have earned higher rates of return than predicted by the model.
» Recent results by Fama and French (1992)– Small company stocks stocks have earned
higher rates of return than predicted by the model. (Size Effect)
– Value company stocks have earned higher rates of return than predicted by the model. (Style Effect)

What is a Value Stock?
A stock that tends to trade at a lower price relative to it's fundamentals (i.e. dividends, earnings, sales, etc.) and thus considered undervalued by a value investor. Common characteristics of such stocks include a high dividend yield, low price-to-book ratio and/or low price-to-earnings ratio.

The CAPM Remains Attractive
It is simple and gives sensible answers.It distinguishes between diversifiable and non-diversifiable risk.

The CAPM Remains Controversial
It is difficult to devise a definitive test» We don’t know how to define and measure the
market portfolio. If we use the wrong market index the resulting betas are mismeasured
Fama & French results cast doubt on the CAPM although their study is also subject to criticisms.
Multi-factor models have been developed to compete with the CAPM e.g. the Arbitrage Pricing Model. Ch 11

To value a future risky cash flow, discount the expected value of the cash flow to present value using the risk-adjusted expected return based on the CAPM.

Using the CAPM to Determine the Discount Rate for Risky Projects
For risk-free projects you would use a risk-free interest rate for discounting a project’s cash flow.For risky projects you discount the expected cash flow by a risk adjusted interest rate, using the CAPM.

The Company Cost of Capital
The average rate of return for the entire company’s assets is called the company cost of capital.If the project under consideration has the same risk as these assets, then the company cost of capital is an appropriate discount rate.But the project may have a different risk. We would then use a discount rate matching the project’s risk.

Estimating the Cost of Capitalfor an All-Equity Firm
For an all-equity firm the riskiness of the stock is the same as the riskiness of the company’s assets.Stock betas are easy to obtain or estimate.Use the CAPM to estimate the company cost of capital: This is the discount rate for project with the same riskiness as the firm’s current assets.

For Microsoft MSFT I found the following information: (From Yahoo Finance, key statistics)Microsoft is an all equity firm, i.e. it has essentially no debt, debt/equity ratio is 0.Its stock beta is 1.61rf= 1.75%=current T-Bill yield[E(rM) - rf]=expected market risk premium=7.5%,E(re)=rf + β[E(rM) - rf]
=1.75%+1.61[7.5%]=13.825%

The Discount Rate for a Project in a Leveraged Firm
Equity beta are easy to determine. Asset betas would not be easy to estimate directly.Use the equity beta, and undo the effect of the leverage.Estimate or look up the equity beta, estimate the debt beta if it is not zero. Then use the beta relationship to get the asset beta:

Then use the CAPM to determine the corresponding expected return.( ) [ ( ) ]
