Capital Asset Pricing Model

Lessons from P.E.C.


1. Assets are not held in isolation; rather, they are held as parts of portfolios. 2. Assets are priced according to their value in a portfolio. 3. Investors are concerned about how the portfolio of stocks perform--not individual stocks.

Lessons from Tahitian Island


1. 2. 3. Combining securities into portfolios reduces risk. How? A portion of a stocks variability in return is canceled by complementary variations in the return of other securities However, since to some extent stock prices (and returns) tend to move in tandem, not all variability can be eliminated through diversification. or Even investors holding diversified portfolios are exposed to the risk inherent in the overall performance of the stock market. Therefore, Total Risk = unsystematic + systematic diversifiable nondiversifiable firm specific market

CAPM
Provides a convenient measure of systematic risk of the volatility of an asset relative to the markets volatility. is this measure--gauges the tendency of a securitys return to move in tandem with the overall markets return. Average systematic risk High systematic risk, more volatile than the market Low systematic risk, less volatile than the market

The SML and WACC


Expected return
SML = 8% 16% -15% -14% --

B A
Incorrect rejection

Incorrect acceptance WACC = 15%

R f ! 7% --

F A ! .60 F Firm ! 1.0

F B ! 1.2

Beta

If a firm uses its WACC to make accept/reject decisions for all types of projects, it will have a tendency toward incorrectly accepting risky projects and incorrectly rejecting less risky projects.

The SML and the Subjective Approach


Expected return
SML

20% -WACC = 14% -10% -High risk (+6%)

R f ! 7% -Low risk (-4%)

Moderate risk (+0%)

Beta
With the subjective approach, the firm places projects into one of several risk classes. The discount rate used to value the project is then determined by adding (for high risk) or subtracting (for low risk) an adjustment factor to or from the firms WACC.
