7-2 MEASURING RISK
The risk of a financial asset is measured by
the variance or standard deviation of its
returns.
Variance
Average value of squared deviations from
mean; measures volatility
Standard Deviation
Square root of variance; measures volatility

7-2 RISK OF A PORTFOLIO
Unique Risk
Risk factors affecting only that firm; also called
diversifiable risk or unsystematic risk
Market Risk
Economy-wide sources of risk that affect the
overall stock market; also called undiversifiable
risk or systematic risk
Diversification
Strategy designed to reduce risk by spreading
the portfolio across many investments

7-3 CALCULATING PORTFOLIO RISK
Example
Invest 60% of portfolio in Heinz and 40% in
ExxonMobil. Expected dollar return on Heinz
stock is 6% and 10% on ExxonMobil. Expected
return on portfolio is:

7-3 CALCULATING PORTFOLIO RISK
Example
Invest 60% of portfolio in Heinz and 40% in ExxonMobil.
Expected dollar return on Heinz stock is 6% and 10%
on ExxonMobil. Standard deviation of annualized daily
returns are 14.6% and 21.9%, respectively. Assume
correlation coefficient of 1.0. Calculate portfolio
variance.

returns are 14.6% and 21.9%, respectively. Assume
correlation coefficient of 1.0 and calculate portfolio
variance.

7-3 CALCULATING PORTFOLIO RISK FURTHER
EXAMPLE
Example Correlation Coefficient = .4
Stocks s % of Portfolio Average Return
Small Corp 28 60% 15%
Big Corp 42 40% 21%
Conclusion:
Portfolio return = its weighted average
Portfolio risk < its weighted average (provided correlation is less than 1)
7-22
7-3 CALCULATING PORTFOLIO RISK
Example, continued
Adding a third company to the portfolio: Correlation Coefficient = .3
Stocks s % of Portfolio Avg Return
Portfolio 28.1 50% 17.4%
New Corp 30 50% 19%

HERE COMES PORTFOLIO THEORY...
Let us form a market portfolio
Because of large number of securities, uniques risk is
practically reduced to zero and what is left is market risk
The contribution of individual stock to market portfolio risk is
its beta
What is beta?
Conceptually: It is the extent of comovement of the stock with the
market
im
Mathematically: beta = i
2m
Statistically: it is the regression coefficient of the stocks return against
the market return

PORTFOLIO RISK
Market Portfolio
Portfolio of all assets in the market
Empirical studies usually use broad stock
market index to represent the market
Beta
Sensitivity of stocks return to changes in
market portfolio return
