9.2 Holding Period Returns
• The holding period return is the return
that an investor would get when holding
an investment over a period of n years,
when the return during year i is given as
ri:
holding period return
(1 r1 ) (1 r2 ) (1 rn ) 1
Holding Period Return: Example
• Suppose your investment provides the following
returns over a four-year period:
– 90% 0% + 90%

9.4 Average Stock Returns and Risk-Free Returns
• The Risk Premium is the added return (over and above the
risk-free rate) resulting from bearing risk.
• One of the most significant observations of stock market data
is the long-run excess of stock return over the risk-free return.
– The average excess return from large company common stocks for
the period 1926 through 2005 was: 8.5% = 12.3% – 3.8%
– The average excess return from small company common stocks for
the period 1926 through 2005 was: 13.6% = 17.4% – 3.8%
– The average excess return from long-term corporate bonds for the
period 1926 through 2005 was: 2.4% = 6.2% – 3.8%
Risk Premia
• Suppose that The Wall Street Journal announced that
the current rate for one-year Treasury bills is 5%.
• What is the expected return on the market of small-
company stocks?
• Recall that the average excess return on small
company common stocks for the period 1926
through 2005 was 13.6%.
• Given a risk-free rate of 5%, we have an expected
return on the market of small-company stocks of
18.6% = 13.6% + 5%

9.5 Risk Statistics
• There is no universally agreed-upon
definition of risk.
• The measures of risk that we discuss are
variance and standard deviation.
– The standard deviation is the standard statistical
measure of the spread of a sample, and it will be
the measure we use most of this time.
– Its interpretation is facilitated by a discussion of
the normal distribution.
•
Normal Distribution
A large enough sample drawn from a normal distribution
looks like a bell-shaped curve.
Probability
– 3s – 2s – 1s 0 + 1s + 2s + 3s
– 48.3% – 28.1% – 7.9% 12.3% 32.5% 52.7% 72.9% Return on
large company common
68.26% stocks
95.44%
99.74%
Normal Distribution
• The 20.2% standard deviation we found
for large stock returns from 1926 through
2005 can now be interpreted in the
following way: if stock returns are
approximately normally distributed, the
probability that a yearly return will fall
within 20.2 percent of the mean of 12.3%
will be approximately 2/3.
Example – Return and Variance
So it’s fixed.
Expected Return
So it’s probabilistic
So if p1 , p2 ,........, pn
are the probabilities associated with returns R1 , R2 ,......, Rn

Diversification and Portfolio Risk
• Diversification can substantially reduce the
variability of returns without an equivalent
reduction in expected returns.
• This reduction in risk arises because worse
than expected returns from one asset are
offset by better than expected returns from
another.
• However, there is a minimum level of risk that
cannot be diversified away, and that is the
systematic portion.

Systematic Risk
• Risk factors that affect a large number of
assets
• Also known as non-diversifiable risk or market
risk
• Includes such things as changes in GDP,
inflation, interest rates, etc.
Unsystematic (Diversifiable) Risk
• Risk factors that affect a limited number of assets
• Also known as unique risk and asset-specific risk
• Includes such things as labor strikes, part shortages,
etc.
• The risk that can be eliminated by combining assets
into a portfolio
• If we hold only one asset, or assets in the same
industry, then we are exposing ourselves to risk that
we could diversify away.
Total Risk
• Total risk = systematic risk + unsystematic risk
• The standard deviation of returns is a measure
of total risk.
• For well-diversified portfolios, unsystematic
risk is very small.
• Consequently, the total risk for a diversified
portfolio is essentially equivalent to the
systematic risk.

You own a stock portfolio invested 25% in stock Q, 20% in
stock R, 15% in stock S and 40% in stock T. The betas for
these four stocks are 0.6, 1.70, 1.15 and 1.34 respectively.
What is the portfolio beta?
You own a portfolio equally invested in a risk-free asset and
two stocks. If one of the stock has a beta of 1.9 and the total
portfolio is equally as risky as the market, what must the beta
be for the other stock in your portfolio?
