Measuring Ex-Post (Past) Returns
•An example: Suppose you buy one share of a stock today for $45 and you hold it for one year and sell it for $52. You also received $8 in dividends at the end of the year.•(PB = , PS = , CF = ): •HPR =
$45 $52 $8(52 - 45 + 8) / 45 = 33.33%

Q: When should you use the GAR and when should you use the AAR?
A1: When you are evaluating PAST RESULTS (ex-post):
A2: When you are trying to estimate an expected return (ex-ante return):
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.
Use the AAR

Measuring Ex-Post (Past) Returns for a portfolio
•Finding the average HPR for a portfolio of assets for a given time period:
•where VI = amount invested in asset I, •J = Total # of securities•and TV = total amount invested;•thus VI/TV = percentage of total investment invested in asset I

•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%.
•The average HPR for the month of September for this portfolio is:

Using Ex-Post 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 and,
Perhaps apply some (usually ad-hoc) adjustment to past returns
Problems?• Which historical time period?
• Have to adjust for current economic situation

• Real returns have been much higher for stocks than for bonds• Sharpe ratios measure the excess return relative to standard
deviation.• The higher the Sharpe ratio the better.• Stocks have had much higher Sharpe ratios than bonds.

5.4 Inflation and Real Rates of Return
5-22
Inflation, Taxes and ReturnsThe average inflation rate from 1966 to 2005 was _____.This relatively small inflation rate reduces the terminal value of $1 invested in T-bills in 1966 from a nominal value of ______ in 2005 to a real value of _____.
Taxes are paid on _______ investment income. This reduces _____ investment income even further.
You earn a ____ nominal, pre-tax rate of return and you are in a ____ tax bracket and face a _____ inflation rate. What is your real after tax rate of return?

Real vs. Nominal RatesFisher effect: Approximationreal rate nominal rate - inflation rate
rreal rnom - iExample rnom = 9%, i = 6%
rreal 3% Fisher effect: Exact
rreal = or rreal = rreal = The exact real rate is less than the approximate real rate.
[(1 + rnom) / (1 + i)] – 1 (rnom - i) / (1 + i) (9% - 6%) / (1.06) = 2.83%
rreal = real interest rate
rnom = nominal interest rate
i = expected inflation rate
