Systematic & Unsystematic Risk
• Recall:
• Diversifiable Risk: Unsystematic risk, Company
Specific, unique risk, or asset‐specific risk
CAPM • Non diversifiable Risk: Systematic Risk, Market
Specific Risk
• Total risk = Systematic risk + Unsystematic risk
In Security Market Line Context & – For any investment
Problems – Negligible Unsystematic risk for well diversified
portfolio
• Beta: The ‘relative’ amount of ‘systematic risk’
present in a particular risky asset
Total Risk Vs Beta Security Market line
• Which has greater total risk? • Risk‐free rate rRF
• Which has greater systematic risk? – Rf = 8%, As risk‐free asset, beta = 0
• Greater unsystematic risk? • Asset ‘A’
• Which asset will have a higher risk premium? – Expected return of E(RA) = 20%, Beta = 1.6
• CASE 1: Portfolio 25% ‘A’ (ie. 75% Rf Asset)
– Calculate Portfolio expected return & Beta

• Recall CAPM Assumption, borrowing, lending, • Similarly we can calculate whole continuum
short sale allowed. portfolio possibilities, for example
• CASE 2: Investors borrows at rRF & increases
share of Asset A to 150% (margin trading)
– Calculate Portfolio expected return & Beta
Security Market line Security Market line
• Plotting the previous chart Portfolio expected
return Vs. Beta • Introducing Asset ‘B’
– Expected return of E(RA) = 16%, Beta = 1.2
The Reward‐to‐Risk Ratio: Asset A • Similarly we have the following:
has a risk premium of 7.50% per
“unit” of systematic risk

Security Market line Asset ‘A’ vs. Asset ‘B’
• Calculate The reward to risk Ratio for Asset ‘B’ • Asset A has a reward‐to‐risk ratio of 7.5 %
• Asset B has a reward‐to‐risk ratio of 6.67%
• Which would be a sane choice by an investor?
• Every investor would be attracted to Asset ‘A’
• Asset ‘A’ price would bid up, vice versa for ‘B’
• Hence return on Asset ‘A’ would fall & increase on
Asset ‘B’.
• Continue until the two assets plotted on exactly the
same line.
• In other words till an equilibrium is achieved &
arbitrage evaporates in a competitive market
Before Equilibrium: Portfolio Expected
Result
Returns and Betas for Both Assets
• The reward‐to‐risk ratio must be
the same for all the assets in the
market.
• For a competitive market following should
hold:

SML: Equilibrium position Asset A & B SML: Market Portfolio Context
• Market portfolio is representative of all of the
assets in the market, it must have average
systematic risk or Beta =1
SML: CAPM Context
• We had concluded: reward‐to‐risk ratio for an
asset in market is the same as the overall
market’s
• Therefore, For an Asset ‘i’ on the market ‘m’
