Diversification Effect
33Ch7&9 &10– MBA 567
Systematic risk v. Nonsystematic Risk
Systematic risk, (nondiversifiable risk or market risk), is the risk that remains after extensive diversifications
Nonsystematic risk (diversifiable risk, unique risk, firm-specific risk) – risks can be eliminated through diversifications

The relationship depends on correlation coefficient.
-1.0 < < +1.0
The smaller the correlation, the greater the risk reduction potential.
If = +1.0, no risk reduction is possible.

Example
A pension fund manager is considering 3 mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term government and corporate bond fund, and the third is a T-bill money market fund that yields a rate of 8%. The probability distribution of the risky funds is as following:
Exp(ret) Std DevStock fund 20% 30%
bond Fund 12% 15%The correlation between the fund returns is 0.10

Harry Markowitz laid down the foundation of modern portfolio theory in 1952. The CAPM was developed by William Sharpe, John Lintner, Jan Mossin in mid 1960s.It is the equilibrium model that underlies all modern financial theory.Derived using principles of diversification with simplified assumptions.
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
1919Ch7&9 &10– MBA 567
Individual investors are price takers.Single-period investment horizon.Investments are limited to traded financial assets.No taxes and transaction costs.Information is costless and available to all investors.Investors are rational mean-variance optimizers.There are homogeneous expectations.
Assumptions
2020Ch7&9 &10– MBA 567
Resulting Equilibrium Conditions
All investors will hold the same portfolio for risky assets – market portfolio
Market portfolio contains all securities and the proportion of each security is its market value as a percentage of total market value
Risk premium on the market depends on the average risk aversion of all market participants
Risk premium on an individual security is a function of its covariance with the market

CAPM Applications: Index ModelTo move from expected to realized returns—use the index model in excess return form:
Ri=αi+βiRM+ei
The index model beta coefficient turns out to be the same beta as that of the CAPM expected return-beta relationship
What would be the testable implication?

Proxies must be used for the market portfolio
CAPM is still considered the best available description of security pricing and is widely accepted

Other CAPM Models: Multiperiod Model
Page 303
Considering CAPM in the multi-period setting
Other than comovement with the market portfolio, uncertainty in investment opportunity and changes in prices of consumption goods may affect stock returns
Equation (9.14)
2929Ch7&9 &10– MBA 567
Other CAPM Models: Consumption Based Model
No longer consider the comovements in returns of individual securities with returns of market portfolios
Key intuition: investors balance between today’s consumption and the saving and investments that will support future consumption

Liquidity and CAPM
Liquidity – the ease and speed with which an asset can be sold at fair market value.
Illiquidity PremiumThe discount in security price that results from illiquidity is large
Compensation for liquidity risk – inanticipated change in liquidity
Research supports a premium for illiquidity. Amihud and Mendelson and Acharya and Pedersen

APT
Arbitrage Pricing TheoryThis is a multi-factor approach in pricing stock returns. See chapter 10
3333Ch7&9 &10– MBA 567
Fama-French Three-Factor Model
The factors chosen are variables that on past evidence seem to predict average returns well and may capture the risk premiums (page 336)
rit=αi+βiMRMt+βiSMBSMBt+βiHMLHMLt+eit
Where:
SMB = Small Minus Big, i.e., the return of a portfolio of small stocks in excess of the return on a portfolio of large stocks
HML = High Minus Low, i.e., the return of a portfolio of stocks with a high book to-market ratio in excess of the return on a portfolio of stocks with a low book-to-market ratio
