5.1 Rates of Return
5-2
Measuring Ex-Post (Past) Returns
One period investment: regardless of the length of the
period.
Holding period return (HPR):
HPR = [PS - PB + CF] / PB
where
PS
= Sale price (or P1)
PB
= Buy price ($ you put up) (or P0)
CF
= Cash flow during holding period
• Q: Why use % returns at all?
• Q: What are we assuming about the cash flows in the
HPR calculation?
5-3
Annualizing HPRs
Q: Why would you want to annualize returns?
1. Annualizing HPRs for holding periods of greater
than one year:
– Without compounding (Simple or APR):
HPRann = HPR/n
–
–
With compounding: EAR
HPRann = [(1+HPR)1/n]-1
where n = number of years held
5-4
Measuring Ex-Post (Past) Returns
•An example: Suppose you buy one share of a stock today for
$45 and you hold it for two years and sell it for $52. You also
received $8 in dividends at the end of the two years.
•(PB = $45, PS = $52
, CF = $8):
•HPR = (52 - 45 + 8) / 45 = 33.33%
•HPRann = 0.3333/2 = 16.66%
Annualized w/out compounding
•The annualized HPR assuming annual compounding is (n = 2 ):
•HPRann = (1+0.3333)1/2 - 1 = 15.47%
5-5
Measuring Ex-Post (Past) Returns
Annualizing HPRs for holding periods of less than one
year:
– Without compounding (Simple): HPRann = HPR x n
–
With compounding: HPRann =
[(1+HPR)n]-1
where n = number of compounding periods per year
5-6
Measuring Ex-Post (Past) Returns
•An example when the HP is < 1 year:
•Suppose you have a 5% HPR on a 3 month
investment. What is the annual rate of return with and
without compounding?
•Without: n = 12/3 = 4 so HPRann = HPR*n = 0.05*4 = 20%
•With: HPRann = (1.054) - 1 = 21.55%
•Q: Why is the compound return greater than the
simple return?

Measuring Ex-Post (Past) Returns
•For example: Suppose you have $1000 invested in a stock
portfolio in September. You have $200 invested in Stock A,
$300 in Stock B and $500 in Stock C. The HPR for the month of
September for Stock A was 2%, for Stock B the HPR was 4%
and for Stock C the HPR was - 5%.

Measuring Ex-Post (Past) Returns
Q: When should you use the GAR and when should you use
the AAR?
A1: When you are evaluating PAST RESULTS (ex-post):
 Use the AAR (average without compounding) if you ARE
NOT reinvesting any cash flows received before the end of
the period.
 Use the GAR (average with compounding) if you
ARE reinvesting any cash flows received before the end of
the period.
A2: When you are trying to estimate an expected return (exante return):

Use the AAR

Using Ex-Post Historical Returns to
estimate Expected HPR
Estimating Expected HPR (E[r]) from ex-post data.
Use the arithmetic average of past returns as a
forecast of expected future returns as we did and,
Perhaps apply some (usually ad-hoc) adjustment to
past returns
• Which historical time period?
Problems?
• Have to adjust for current economic
situation
• Unstable averages
• Stable risk

Arithmetic average & usually most likely _
1. Mean: __________________________________
2. Median:
Middle

_________________
3. Variance or standard deviation:
Dispersion of returns about the mean
4. Skewness:_______________________________
Long tailed distribution, either side
5. Leptokurtosis: ______________________________
Too many observations in the tails

If a distribution is approximately normal, the distribution
1 and 3
is fully described by Characteristics

5-21
Normal Distribution
Risk is the
possibility of getting
returns different
from expected.
 measures deviations
above the mean as well as
below the mean.
Returns > E[r] may not be
considered as risk, but with
symmetric distribution, it is
ok to use  to measure risk.
I.E., ranking securities by 
will give same results as
ranking by asymmetric
measures such as lower
partial standard deviation.
Average = Median
E[r] = 10%
 = 20%
5-22
Implication?
 is an incomplete
risk measure
Leptokurtosis
5-23
Value at Risk (VaR)
Value at Risk attempts to answer the following question:
• How many dollars can I expect to lose on my portfolio in
a given time period at a given level of probability?
• The typical probability used is 5%.
• We need to know what HPR corresponds to a 5%
probability.
• If returns are normally distributed then we can use a
standard normal table or Excel to determine how many
standard deviations below the mean represents a 5%
probability:
– From Excel: =Norminv (0.05,0,1) = -1.64485 standard
deviations
5-24
Value at Risk (VaR)
From the standard deviation we can find the corresponding
level of the portfolio return:
VaR = E[r] + -1.64485
For Example:
A $500,000 stock portfolio has an annual expected return of
12% and a standard deviation of 35%. What is the portfolio
VaR at a 5% probability level?
VaR = 0.12 + (-1.64485 * 0.35)
VaR = -45.57%
(rounded slightly)
VaR$ = $500,000 x -.4557 = -$227,850
What does this number mean?
5-25
Value at Risk (VaR)
VaR versus standard deviation:
• For normally distributed returns VaR is equivalent to
standard deviation (although VaR is typically
reported in dollars rather than in % returns)
• VaR adds value as a risk measure when return
distributions are not normally distributed.
– Actual 5% probability level will differ from 1.68445
standard deviations from the mean due to
kurtosis and skewness.
5-26
Risk Premium & Risk Aversion
• The risk free rate is the rate of return that can be
earned with certainty.
• The risk premium is the difference between the
expected return of a risky asset and the risk-free rate.
Excess Return or Risk Premiumasset = E[rasset] – rf
Risk aversion is an investor’s reluctance to accept
risk.
How is the aversion to accept risk overcome?
By offering investors a higher risk premium.

Inflation, Taxes and Returns
The average inflation rate from 1966 to 2005 was _____.
4.29%
This relatively small inflation rate reduces the terminal
value of $1 invested in T-bills in 1966 from a nominal
value of ______
_____.
$10.08 in 2005 to a real value of $1.93
–(nominal interest rate=5.95%)
Taxes are paid on _______
nominal investment income. This
real investment income even further.
reduces _____
You earn a5.95%
____ nominal, pre-tax rate of return and you
15% tax bracket and face a _____
are in a ____
4.29%inflation rate.
What is your real after tax rate of return?
rreal  [5.95% x (1 - 0.15)] – 4.29%  0.77%
5-31
Real vs. Nominal Rates
Fisher effect: Approximation
Nominal risk free rate  real rate + inflation rate
rnom  rreal + i
rreal = real risk free interest rate
Example rreal = 3%, i = 6%
rnom = nominal risk free interest rate
rnom  9%
i = expected inflation rate
Fisher effect: Exact
rnom = (1 + rreal) * (1 + i) – 1
= 1.03 * 1.06 - 1 = 9.18%
The exact nominal risk free required rate is
slightly higher than the approximate nominal rate.

Allocating Capital Between Risky &
Risk-Free Assets
Stock A $2,500
Weights in rp
Stock B $3,000
– WA = $2,500 / $7,500 = 33.33%
Stock C $2,000
– WB = $3,000 / $7,500 = 40.00%
– WC = $2,000 / $7,500 = 26.67%
100.00%
The complete portfolio includes the riskless
investment and rp. Your total wealth is $10,000. You put $2,500 in risk free
T-Bills and $7,500 in a stock portfolio invested as follows
Wf = 25%; Wp =
75%
In the complete portfolio
WA = 0.75 x 33.33% = 25%; WB = 0.75 x 40.00% = 30%
WC = 0.75 x 26.67% = 20%; Wrf = 25%

Allocating Capital Between Risky &
Risk-Free Assets
• Issues in setting weights
risk & return tradeoff
– Examine ___________________
– Demonstrate how different degrees of risk
allocations between risky and
aversion will affect __________
risk free assets

rf = 5%
rf = 0%
E(rp) = 14%
rp = 22%

(1-y) = % in f
5-38
Expected Returns for Combinations
E(rC) = yE(rp) + (1 - y)rf
c = yrp + (1-y)rf
E(rC) = Return for complete or combined portfolio
For example, let y = 0.75
____
rf = 5%
rf = 0%
E(rp) = 14%
rp = 22%
E(rC) = (.75 x .14) + (.25 x .05)
y = % in rp
(1-y) = % in rf
E(rC) = .1175 or 11.75%
C = yrp + (1-y)rf
C = (0.75 x 0.22) + (0.25 x 0) = 0.165 or 16.5%

Varying y results in E[rC] and C that are ______
combinations
___________ of E[rp] and rf and rp and rf
respectively.
This is NOT generally the case for
the  of combinations of two or
more risky assets.

Using Leverage with Capital
Allocation Line
Borrow at the Risk-Free Rate and invest in stock
Using 50% Leverage
y = 1.5
E(rc) = (1.5) (.14) + (-.5) (.05) = 0.185 = 18.5%
c = (1.5) (.22) = 0.33 or 33%
E(rC) =18.5%
y = 1.5

33%
Risk Aversion and Allocation
 Greater levels of risk aversion lead investors to
choose larger proportions of the risk free rate
 Lower levels of risk aversion lead investors to
choose larger proportions of the portfolio of risky
assets

Willingness to accept high levels of risk for high
levels of returns would result in
leveraged combinations

5.6 Passive Strategies and
the Capital Market Line
5-48
A Passive Strategy
•
Investing in a broad stock index and a risk
free investment is an example of a passive
strategy.
– The investor makes no attempt to actively find
undervalued strategies nor actively switch
their asset allocations.
– The CAL that employs the market (or an index
that mimics overall market performance) is
called the Capital Market Line or CML.
5-49
Active versus Passive Strategies
• Active strategies entail more trading costs than
passive strategies.
• Passive investor “free-rides” in a competitive
investment environment.
• Passive involves investment in two passive
portfolios
– Short-term T-bills
– Fund of common stocks that mimics a broad
market index
– Vary combinations according to investor’s
risk aversion.

Problem 2
a. The holding period returns for the three scenarios are:
(50 – 40 + 2)/40 = 0.30 = 30.00%
Boom:
Normal:
(43 – 40 + 1)/40 = 0.10 = 10.00%
(34 – 40 + 0.50)/40 = –0.1375 = –13.75%
Recession:
[(1/3) x 30%] + [(1/3) x 10%] + [(1/3) x (–13.75%)] = 8.75%
