Modern Portfolio Concepts
Learning Goals
1. Understand portfolio objectives and the procedures used to calculate portfolio return and standard deviation.
2. Discuss the concepts of correlation and diversification, and the key aspects of international diversification.
3. Describe the components of risk and the use of beta to measure risk.
3
Modern Portfolio Concepts
Learning Goals (cont’d)
4. Explain the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) – conceptually, mathematically, and graphically.
5. Review the traditional and modern approaches to portfolio management.
6. Describe portfolio betas, the risk-return tradeoff, and reconciliation of the two approaches to portfolio management.
4
What is a Portfolio?
Portfolio is a collection of investment vehicles assembled to meet one or more investment goals.
Growth-Oriented Portfolio: primary objective is long-term price appreciation
Income-Oriented Portfolio: primary objective is current dividend and interest income
5
The Ultimate Goal: An Efficient Portfolio
Efficient portfolio
A portfolio that provides the highest return for a given level of risk, or
Has the lowest risk for a given level of return
6
Portfolio Return and Risk Measures
Return on a Portfolio is the weighted average of returns on the individual assets in the portfolio
Standard Deviation of a portfolio’s returns is calculated using all of the individual assets in the portfolio

Correlation: Why Diversification Works!
Correlation is a statistical measure of the relationship between two series of numbers representing data
Positively Correlated items move in the same direction
Negatively Correlated items move in opposite directions
Correlation Coefficient is a measure of the degree of correlation between two series of numbers representing data
9
Correlation Coefficients
Perfectly Positively Correlated describes two positively correlated series having a correlation coefficient of +1
Perfectly Negatively Correlated describes two negatively correlated series having a correlation coefficient of -1
Uncorrelated describes two series that lack any relationship and have a correlation coefficient of nearly zero

Why Use International Diversification?
Offers more diverse investment alternatives than U.S.-only based investing
Foreign economic cycles may move independently from U.S. economic cycle
Foreign markets may not be as “efficient” as U.S. markets, allowing true gains from superior research
Study done between 1984 and 1994 suggests that portfolio 70% S&P 500 and 30% EAFE would reduce risk 5% and increase return 7% over a 100% S&P 500 portfolio
13
International Diversification
Advantages of International Diversification Broader investment choices Potentially greater returns than in U.S. Reduction of overall portfolio risk
Disadvantages of International Diversification Currency exchange risk Less convenient to invest than U.S. stocks More expensive to invest Riskier than investing in U.S.
14
Methods of International Diversification
Foreign company stocks listed on U.S. stock exchanges Yankee Bonds American Depository Shares (ADS’s) Mutual funds investing in foreign stocks U.S. multinational companies (typically not
considered a true international investment for diversification purposes)
15
Components of Risk
Diversifiable (Unsystematic) Risk Results from uncontrollable or random events that are
firm-specific Can be eliminated through diversification Examples: labor strikes, lawsuits
Nondiversifiable (Systematic) Risk Attributable to forces that affect all similar investments Cannot be eliminated through diversification Examples: war, inflation, political events
16
Beta: A Popular Measure of Risk A measure of nondiversifiable risk Indicates how the price of a security responds to market forces Compares historical return of an investment to the market return (the S&P
500 Index) The beta for the market is 1.00 Stocks may have positive or negative betas. Nearly all are positive. Stocks with betas greater than 1.00 are more risky than the overall
market. Stocks with betas less than 1.00 are less risky than the overall market.
17
Beta: A Popular Measure of Risk
Table 5.4 Selected Betas and Associated Interpretations
18
Interpreting Beta
Higher stock betas should result in higher expected returns due to greater risk
If the market is expected to increase 10%, a stock with a beta of 1.50 is expected to increase 15%
If the market went down 8%, then a stock with a beta of 0.50 should only decrease by about 4%
Beta values for specific stocks can be obtained from Value Line reports or online websites such as yahoo.com
19
Interpreting Beta
20
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
Model that links the notions of risk and return
Helps investors define the required return on an investment
As beta increases, the required return for a given investment increases
21
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) (cont’d)
Uses beta, the risk-free rate and the market return to define the required return onan investment

Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) (cont’d)
CAPM can also be shown as a graph
Security Market Line (SML) is the “picture” of the CAPM
Find the SML by calculating the required return for a number of betas, then plotting them on a graph

Two Approaches to Constructing Portfolios
Traditional Approachversus
Modern Portfolio Theory
25
Traditional Approach
Emphasizes “balancing” the portfolio using a wide variety of stocks and/or bonds
Uses a broad range of industries to diversify theportfolio
Tends to focus on well-known companies Perceived as less risky Stocks are more liquid and available Familiarity provides higher “comfort” levels
for investors
26
Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT)
Emphasizes statistical measures to develop a portfolio plan
Focus is on: Expected returns Standard deviation of returns Correlation between returns
Combines securities that have negative (or low-positive) correlations between each other’s rates of return
27
Key Aspects of MPT: Efficient Frontier
Efficient Frontier
The leftmost boundary of the feasible set of portfolios that include all efficient portfolios: those providing the best attainable tradeoff between risk and return
Portfolios that fall to the right of the efficient frontier are not desirable because their risk return tradeoffs are inferior
Portfolios that fall to the left of the efficient frontier are not available for investments
28
Figure 5.7 The Feasible or Attainable Set and the Efficient Frontier
29
Key Aspects of MPT: Portfolio Betas
Portfolio Beta
The beta of a portfolio; calculated as the weighted average of the betas of the individual assets the portfolio includes
To earn more return, one must bear more risk
Only nondiversifiable risk (relevant risk) provides a positive risk-return relationship
