¢ form of money, service, or merchandise) ed. In general, a return comes from two flow of income and capital appreciation. A er who lends money to a borrower expects that an in some form will be paid. The interest thus arned is a flow of income, A savings account, time deposit, or other fixed income securities such as T-bills, “are also a flow of income. However, when a person Tinvests in stocks whose price subsequently increases or if he/she buys a piece of land or a house and lot land then sells it at a higher price, there is capital jation. Some investments carn from both the flow of income and capital appreciation, e.g., a bond ‘which charges interest on the investment, and at the ‘same time, benefits from capital appreciation. Return Return = Selling price + Example: Time deposit Suppose Brownie Corporation invested -deposit earns interest at 12% p.2.

The investment made depends on the kind of investment behavior an individual Portfolio investment is a way of avoiding risk. Instead of placing all of one’s money in a single tment, a portfolio spreads the risk across different securities, ies A portfolio expected return (F,) is computed by obtaining the weighted average retusn of the lividual assets.

Liquidity risk is the risk that arises from the difficulty in selling an asset. Sometimes, an ineesement needs to be sold quickly. Unfortunately, an insufficient secondary market may the liquidacion needed or limit the funds chat can be generated from the asset.

Although WEB has a higher standard deviation as compared with FLI, ot be concluded that the investment in WEB is tiskier than that in FLL, When comparing two or securities with different average expected returns, the coefficient of variation is used. “In statistics, ithe probability distribution is normal, 68% of che average expected return will lie inthe deviation.

When two assets move up and down exactly together, they are said to 2 perfectly positive correlation (See Figure 1). Therefore, a perfectly positive correlation is a direct relationship. As the portfolio returns increases, the portfolio risk also increases. In comparison, when two assets move in exactly the opposite directions, (one moves up and the other one moves down), they are said to have a perfectly negative correlation (See Figure 2), If the recurn of one stock increases, i the return of the other stock decteases, Holding these kinds of assets in a portfolio helps decrease the — portfolio risk. i = Figure 1 3.27 3.22 1.53% 9.85 3.68% 345 7.14% 9.72 1.32% 11-Jun-13 3.46 0.29% 9.80 0.82% 1Jjul-13 3.16 8.67% 9.76 0.41% “11-Aug-13 3.08 2.53% 9.85 092% 11-Sep-13 3.03 1.63% 10.20 3.55% 11-Oct-13 2.50 17.49% 10.45 2.45% M-Nov-13 2.25 10.00% 11.25 7.66% — 1-Dec-13 2.00 11.11% 11.50 2.22% Average return 4.02% 1.80% _ Standar deviation 7.03% + 2.56% .

The model is also called a security matket ™odel takes into account the risk-free rate (r), the expected rate of return on the market (G)-volatilty of the asec in relation to the market as a whole, An asst chat has a beta at bG,—1) = 0.09 + 0.75(0.12 - 0.09) = 0.1125 or 11.25% ‘The CAPM as SML describes a relationship between the beta and the expected rate of return of an asset or individual assets. The beta is found on the x-axis while the expected rate of return is found on the y-axis. ; Example: Using the information from the previous example: Required rate of retum required rates of return, As illustrated i ined rate of return also increases by 0.75%, The s the required rate of return and the risk-free rate. if the beta has a value of 1, the beta will provide a risk premium equivalent to the Needless to say, the risk premium is based primarily on the beta coefficient. Thus, if itis higher than 1, the required rate of return is also higher. Ho betas computed as the weighted average ofthe beta of ll che individual assets in a portfolio. If with a beta greater than 1 is added to a portfolio with a beta equivalent to 1, the beta and “tiskiness” ‘Portfolio will increase. Likewise, if an asset with a bera less than 1 is added toa portfolio with a bera alent to 1, the beta and “riskiness” of the portfolio will decrease.
