Correlation = -1
The variance of the two-year return is double that of the oneyear return and is higher by a multiple of the square root of 2.

Systematic risk
Systematic risk arises from events that affect the entire
economy.
E.g., change in
interest rates or
GDP.
11
Systematic risk
If a well diversified portfolio has no unsystematic risk then
any risk that remains must be systematic.
Variation in returns of well diversified portfolio must be due to
changes in systematic factors.

Variation in Ri explained
by the line is the stocks
systematic risk.
Variation in Ri unrelated to
the market (the line) is
unsystematic risk.

Portfolio betas
P
= Wi i
If you put half your money in a share with a beta of 1.5 and
30% of your money in a share with a beta of 0.9 and the
rest in T-bills, what is the portfolio beta?
P =
All portfolio beta expected return combinations should also
fall on the SML.
All (E(ri) rf) / i should be the same for all stocks.

Measuring beta
Concept
We need to estimate the relationship between the security and the
'market' portfolio.
Method
Can calculate the security characteristic line or SCL using historical
time series excess returns of the security a proxy for the market
portfolio.

Adjusted betas
Calculated betas are adjusted to account for the empirical finding
that betas different from 1 tend to move toward 1 over time.
A firm with a beta >1 will tend to have a lower beta (closer to 1)
in the future. A firm with a beta <1 will tend to have a higher
beta (closer to 1) in the future.
Adjusted = 2/3 (calculated ) + 1/3 (1)
= 2/3 (1.276) + 1/3 (1)
= 1.184
