5.1 RATES OF RETURN
• Holding-Period Return (HPR)
• Rate of return over given investment period
• HPR= [PS − PB + CF] / PB
• PS = Sale price
• PB = Buy price
• CF = Cash flow during holding period

5.1 RATES OF RETURN
• Measuring Investment Returns over
Multiple Periods
• Arithmetic average
• Sum of returns in each period divided by number of periods
• Geometric average
• Single per-period return; gives same cumulative performance
as sequence of actual returns
• Compound period-by-period returns; find per-period rate that
compounds to same final value
• Dollar-weighted average return
• Internal rate of return on investment

5.2 RISK AND RISK PREMIUMS
• Scenario Analysis and Probability
Distributions
• Scenario analysis: Possible economic scenarios;
specify likelihood and HPR
• Probability distribution: Possible outcomes with
probabilities
• Expected return: Mean value of distribution of
HPR
• Variance: Expected value of squared deviation
from mean
• Standard deviation: Square root of variance

FIGURE 5.1 NORMAL DISTRIBUTION WITH MEAN
RETURN 10% AND STANDARD DEVIATION 20%
5.2 RISK AND RISK PREMIUMS
• Normality over Time
• When returns over very short time periods are
normally distributed, HPRs up to 1 month can
be treated as normal
• Use continuously compounded rates where
normality plays crucial role
5.2 RISK AND RISK PREMIUMS
• Deviation from Normality and Value at
Risk
• Kurtosis: Measure of fatness of tails of probability
distribution; indicates likelihood of extreme outcomes
• Skew: Measure of asymmetry of probability distribution
• Using Time Series of Return
• Scenario analysis derived from sample history of
returns
• Variance and standard deviation estimates from tim
series of returns:
5.2 RISK AND RISK PREMIUMS
Suppose you’ve estimated that the fifthpercentile value at risk of a portfolio is –
30%. Now you wish to estimate the
portfolio’s first-percentile VaR (the value
below which lie 1% of the returns). Will the
1% VaR be greater or less than –30%?
5.2 RISK AND RISK PREMIUMS
• Risk Premiums and Risk Aversion
• Risk-free rate: Rate of return that can be
earned with certainty
• Risk premium: Expected return in excess of
that on risk-free securities
• Excess return: Rate of return in excess of risk-
free rate
• Risk aversion: Reluctance to accept risk
• Price of risk (A): Ratio of risk premium to
variance
5.2 RISK AND RISK PREMIUMS
• The Sharpe (Reward-to-Volatility) Ratio
• Ratio of portfolio risk premium to standard
deviation
• Mean-Variance Analysis
• Ranking portfolios by Sharpe ratios
5.2 RISK AND RISK PREMIUMS
11. Consider a risky portfolio. The end-of-year cash flow derived from
the portfolio will be either $ 70,000 or $ 195,000, with equal
probabilities of .5. The alternative riskless investment in T-bills pays
4%.
a. If you require a risk premium of 8%, how much will you be willing
to pay for the portfolio?
b. Suppose the portfolio can be purchased for the amount you found
in (a). What will the expected rate of return on the portfolio be?
c. Now suppose you require a risk premium of 11%. What is the price
you will be willing to pay now?
d. Comparing your answers to (a) and (c), what do you conclude about
the relationship between the required risk premium on a portfolio and
the price at which the portfolio will sell?
5.3 THE HISTORICAL RECORD
• World and U.S. Risky Stock and Bond
Portfolios
• World Large stocks: 24 developed countries, about
6000 stocks
• U.S. large stocks: Standard & Poor's 500 largest
cap
• U.S. small stocks: Smallest 20% on NYSE,
NASDAQ, and Amex
• World bonds: Same countries as World Large
stocks
• U.S. Treasury bonds: Barclay's Long-Term
Treasury Bond Index

5.4 INFLATION AND REAL RATES OF
RETURN
• U.S. History of Interest Rates, Inflation,
and Real Interest Rates
• Since the 1950s, nominal rates have
increased roughly in tandem with inflation
• 1930s/1940s: Volatile inflation affects real
rates of return

• Asset Allocation
John Bogle of Vanguard Says:
• Portfolio choice among broad investment
The most fundamental decision of investing is the
classesallocation of your assets: How much should you own in
stock? How much should you own in bonds? How much

should
you own in cash reserves? . . . That decision [has
been shown to account] for an astonishing 94% of the

13) Assume that you manage a risky portfolio with an
expected rate of return of 12% and a standard deviation
of 28% (Weights: Stock A 20%; Stock B 30%; Stock C
50%(. The T-bill rate is 4%. Suppose your client decides
to invest in your risky portfolio a proportion (y) of his
total investment budget so that his overall portfolio will
have an expected rate of return of 11%.
a)
What is the proportion, y?
b)
What are your client’s investment proportions in
your 3 stocks and the T-bill fund?
c)
What is the standard deviation of the rate of return
on your client’s portfolio?

14) Assume that you manage a risky portfolio
with an expected rate of return of 12% and a
standard deviation of 28%. The T-bill rate is 4%.
Suppose your client prefers to invest in your
portfolio a proportion (y) that maximizes the
expected return on the overall portfolio subject
to the constraint that the overall portfolio’s
standard deviation will not exceed 20%.
a) What is the investment proportion, y?
b) What is the expected returns of the overall
portfolio?

17) Assume that you manage a risky portfolio with an
expected rate of return of 12% and a standard deviation
of 28%. There is also a passive fund that mimics the S&P
500 Index with an expected return of 13% and a
standard deviation of 25%. The T-bill rate is 7%.
a)
Explain to your client the disadvantage of the switch.
b)
Show your client the maximum fee you could charge
(as a percent of the investment in your fund deducted
at the end of the year) that would still leave him at
least as well off investing in your fund as in the
passive one.

You’ve just decided upon your capital allocation
for the next year, when you realize that you’ve
underestimated both the expected return and
the standard deviation of your risky portfolio by
4%. Will you increase, decrease, or leave
unchanged your allocation to risk-free T-bills?

Line
• Cost and Benefits of Passive Investing
• Passive investing is inexpensive and simple
• Expense ratio of active mutual fund averages
1%
• Expense ratio of hedge fund averages 1%-2%,
plus 10% of returns above risk-free rate
• Active management offers potential for
