RETURN EXAMPLE
The stock price for Stock A was $10 per share 1 year
ago. The stock is currently trading at $9.50 per share
and shareholders just received a $1 dividend. What
return was earned over the past year?

COMMENTS ON STANDARD
DEVIATION AS A MEASURE OF RISK
• Standard deviation (σi) measures total, or stand-
alone, risk.
• The larger σi is, the lower the probability that actual
returns will be closer to expected returns.
• Larger σi is associated with a wider probability
distribution of returns.
• Difficult to compare standard deviations, because
return has not been accounted for.
5-11
COEFFICIENT OF VARIATION
The ratio of the standard deviation of a distribution to
the mean of that distribution. A standardized
measure of dispersion about the expected value,
that shows the risk per unit of return. It is a measure
of RELATIVE risk.

GENERAL COMMENTS ABOUT
RISK
• Most stocks are positively correlated with the
market (ρk,m 0.65).
• σ 35% for an average stock.
• Combining stocks in a portfolio generally lowers
risk.

FAILURE TO DIVERSIFY
• If an investor chooses to hold a one-stock portfolio
(exposed to more risk than a diversified investor),
would the investor be compensated for the risk they
bear?
• NO!
• Stand-alone risk is not important to a well-diversified
investor.
• Rational, risk-averse investors are concerned with σp,
which is based upon market risk.
• There can be only one price (the market return) for a
given security.
• No compensation should be earned for holding
unnecessary, diversifiable risk.

COMMENTS ON BETA

CAN THE BETA OF A SECURITY BE
NEGATIVE?
• Yes, if the correlation between Stock i and the
market is negative (i.e., ρi,m < 0).
• If the correlation is negative, the regression line
would slope downward, and the beta would be
negative.
• However, a negative beta is highly unlikely.

• kHT = 8.0% + (15.0% - 8.0%)(1.30)
= 8.0% + (7.0%)(1.30)
= 8.0% + 9.1% = 17.10%
• kM = 8.0% + (7.0%)(1.00) = 15.00%
• kUSR = 8.0% + (7.0%)(0.89) = 14.23%
• kT-bill = 8.0% + (7.0%)(0.00) = 8.00%
• kColl = 8.0% + (7.0%)(-0.87) = 1.91%

AN EXAMPLE:
EQUALLY-WEIGHTED TWO-STOCK
PORTFOLIO
• Create a portfolio with 50% invested in HT and 50%
invested in Collections.
• The beta of a portfolio is the weighted average of each
of the stock’s betas.

CALCULATING PORTFOLIO REQUIRED

• The required return of a portfolio is the weighted

COMMENTS ON PORTFOLIO RISK
MEASURES
• σp = 3.3% is much lower than the σi of either stock
(σHT = 20.0%; σColl. = 13.4%).
• σp = 3.3% is lower than the weighted average of
HT and Coll.’s σ (16.7%).
• \ Portfolio provides average return of component
stocks, but lower than average risk.
• Why? Negative correlation between stocks.
