Introduction
RISK AND RETURN
The risk–return spectrum is the relationship between the amount of return gained on
an investment and the amount of risk undertaken in that investment. The more return sought,
the more risk that must be undertaken.
MEASUREMENT OF RISK
There is no universally agreed-upon definition of risk. One way to think about the risk of
returns on common stock is in terms of how spread out the frequency distribution in is. The
spread, or dispersion, of a distribution is a measure of how much a particular return can
deviate from the mean return. If the distribution is very spread out, the returns that will occur
are very uncertain. By contrast, a distribution whose returns are all within a few percentage
points of each other is tight, and the returns are less uncertain. The measures of risk we will
discuss are variance and standard deviation.
MARKET RISK
Market risk is the possibility of an investor experiencing losses due to factors that affect the
overall performance of the financial market in which he or she is involved. Market risk, also
called "systematic risk," cannot be eliminated through diversification, though it can be
hedged against in other ways. Sources of market risk include recessions, political turmoil,
changes in interest rates, natural disasters and terrorist attacks. Systematic, or market risk
tends to influence the entire market at the same time.

SECURITY MARKET LINE
The security market line (SML) is a line drawn on a chart that serves as a graphical
representation of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM)—which shows different levels of
systematic, or market risk, of various marketable securities, plotted against the expected
return of the entire market at any given time.
