Return, Risk, and the Security Market Line
12-2
Expected and Unexpected Returns
U = R - E(R)
12-3
Announcements and News
• Firms make periodic announcements about events that may
significantly impact the profits of the firm.
– Earnings
– Product development
– Personnel

Systematic and Unsystematic Risk
12-5
Systematic and Unsystematic
Components of Return
• Recall:
R – E(R) = U
= Systematic portion
+ Unsystematic portion
=m+ε
R – E(R) = m + ε
12-6
Diversification and Risk
• In a large portfolio:
– Some stocks will go up in value because of positive company-
specific events, while
– Others will go down in value because of negative company-
specific events.
12-7
The Systematic Risk Principle
• So, no matter how much total risk an asset has, only the
systematic portion is relevant in determining the
expected return (and the risk premium) on that asset.
12-8
Measuring Systematic Risk
• Because assets with larger betas have greater systematic risks, they
will have greater expected returns.

Example: Calculating a Portfolio Beta
• You put half your money into IBM and half into eBay.

Beta and the Risk Premium, I.
• Note that if the investor borrows at the risk-free rate and invests the
proceeds in asset A, the investment in asset A will exceed 100%.

The Fundamental Result, I.
• This price adjustment continues until the two assets plot on exactly
the same line.
E(R A ) − R f E(R B ) − R f
• That is, until: =

The Security Market Line, II.
E(R i ) − R f
• For any asset i in the market: = E(R M ) − R f
βi
⇒ E(R i ) = R f + [E(R M ) − R f ]× β i
E(R i ) = R f + [E(R M ) − R f ]× β i

A Closer Look at Beta
• m = β × [RM – E(RM)]
• In other words:
– A high-Beta security is simply one that is relatively sensitive to
overall market movements
– A low-Beta security is one that is relatively insensitive to overall
market movements.

Using a Spreadsheet to Calculate Beta
Returns
Security Market
2001 10% 8% Note: The Excel Format
2002 -8% -12% is set to percent, but the
2003 -4% 16% numbers are entered as
2004 40% 26% decimals.
2005 12% 22%
Beta: 0.90
Excel also has a covariance function, =COVAR, but we do not use it because it divides
by n instead of n-1. Verify that you get a Beta of about 0.72 if you use the COVAR
function divided by the variance of the Market Returns (Use the Excel function, =VAR).
