Transcript of Calculation of HPY and Risks of Investment
Why Do Individuals Invest ?
By saving money (instead of spending it), individuals tradeoff present consumption for a larger future consumption.

How Do We Measure The Rate Of Return On An Investment ?
The pure rate of interest is the exchange rate between future consumption and present consumption. Market forces determine this rate.
People’s willingness to pay the difference for borrowing today and their desire to receive a surplus on their savings give rise to an interest rate referred to as the pure time value of money.
How Do We Measure The Rate Of Return On An Investment ?
If the future payment will be diminished in value because of inflation, then the investor will demand an interest rate higher than the pure time value of money to also cover the expected inflation expense.
How Do We Measure The Rate Of Return On An Investment ?
If the future payment from the investment is not certain, the investor will demand an interest rate that exceeds the pure time value of money plus the inflation rate to provide a risk premium to cover the investment risk.
How Do We Measure The Rate Of Return On An Investment ?
Defining an InvestmentA current commitment of Tk. for a period of time in order to derive future payments that will compensate for:– the time the funds are committed– the expected rate of inflation– uncertainty of future flow of
funds.

A Portfolio of Investments
The mean historical rate of return for a portfolio of investments is measured as the weighted average of the HPYs for the individual investments in the portfolio.

Definition of Risk
1. Uncertainty of future outcomes
or
2. Probability of an adverse outcome
Risk Aversion
Given a choice between two assets with equal rates of return, most investors will select the asset with the lower level of risk.
Not all investors are risk averse
Risk preference may have to do with amount of money involved - risking small amounts, but insuring large losses
Markowitz Portfolio Theory
• Quantifies risk• Derives the expected rate of return for a
portfolio of assets and an expected risk measure• Shows that the variance of the rate of return is a
meaningful measure of portfolio risk• Derives the formula for computing the variance
of a portfolio, showing how to effectively diversify a portfolio
Assumptions of Markowitz Portfolio Theory
1. Investors consider each investment alternative as being presented by a probability distribution of expected returns over some holding period.
Assumptions of Markowitz Portfolio Theory
2. Investors minimize one-period expected utility, and their utility curves demonstrate diminishing marginal utility of wealth.
Assumptions of Markowitz Portfolio Theory
3. Investors estimate the risk of the portfolio on the basis of the variability of expected returns.
Assumptions of Markowitz Portfolio Theory
4. Investors base decisions solely on expected return and risk, so their utility curves are a function of expected return and the expected variance (or standard deviation) of returns only.
Assumptions of Markowitz Portfolio Theory
5. For a given risk level, investors prefer higher returns to lower returns. Similarly, for a given level of expected returns, investors prefer less risk to more risk.
Markowitz Portfolio Theory
Using these five assumptions, a single asset or portfolio of assets is considered to be efficient if no other asset or portfolio of assets offers higher expected return with the same (or lower) risk, or lower risk with the same (or higher) expected return.
Alternative Measures of Risk
• Variance or standard deviation of expected return
• Range of returns• Returns below expectations
– Semivariance – a measure that only considers deviations below the mean
– These measures of risk implicitly assume that investors want to minimize the damage from returns less than some target rate
Expected Rates of Return
• For an individual asset - sum of the potential returns multiplied with the corresponding probability of the returns
• For a portfolio of assets - weighted average of the expected rates of return for the individual investments in the portfolio
Risk Aversion
The assumption that most investors will choose the least risky alternative, all else being equal and that they will not accept additional risk unless they are compensated in the form of higher return

Measuring the Risk of expected Rates of Return
A relative measure of risk, in some cases, an unadjusted variance or standard deviation can be misleading. If conditions for two or more investment alternatives are not similar- that is, if there are major differences in the expected rates of return- it is necessary to use a measure of relative variability to indicate risk per unit of expected return. A widely used relative measure of risk is the coefficient of variation (CV) calculated in the following slide.

Determinants of Required Rates of Return
• Time value of money
• Expected rate of inflation
• Risk involved

Facets of Fundamental Risk
• Business risk
• Financial risk
• Liquidity risk
• Exchange rate risk
• Country risk
Business Risk
• Uncertainty of income flows caused by the nature of a firm’s business
• Sales volatility and operating leverage determine the level of business risk.
Financial Risk• Uncertainty caused by the use of debt
financing.• Borrowing requires fixed payments which
must be paid ahead of payments to stockholders.
• The use of debt increases uncertainty of stockholder income and causes an increase in the stock’s risk premium.
Liquidity Risk• Uncertainty is introduced by the secondary
market for an investment.– How long will it take to convert an investment
into cash?
– How certain is the price that will be received?
Exchange Rate Risk
• Uncertainty of return is introduced by acquiring securities denominated in a currency different from that of the investor.
• Changes in exchange rates affect the investors return when converting an investment back into the “home” currency.
Country Risk• Political risk is the uncertainty of returns
caused by the possibility of a major change in the political or economic environment in a country.
• Individuals who invest in countries that have unstable political-economic systems must include a country risk-premium when determining their required rate of return
Risk Premium
f (Business Risk, Financial Risk, Liquidity Risk, Exchange Rate Risk, Country Risk)
orf (Systematic Market Risk)
Risk Premium and Portfolio Theory
• The relevant risk measure for an individual asset is its co-movement with the market portfolio
• Systematic risk relates the variance of the investment to the variance of the market
• Beta measures this systematic risk of an asset
Fundamental Risk versus Systematic Risk
• Fundamental risk comprises business risk, financial risk, liquidity risk, exchange rate risk, and country risk
• Systematic risk refers to the portion of an individual asset’s total variance attributable to the variability of the total market portfolio

RPi = E(Ri) - NRFR
where:
RPi = risk premium for asset i
E(Ri) = the expected return for asset i
NRFR = the nominal return on a risk-free asset
Market Portfolio RiskThe market risk premium for the market portfolio (contains all the risky assets in the market) can be computed:
RPm = E(Rm)- NRFR where:
RPm = risk premium on the market portfolio
E(Rm) = expected return on the market portfolio
NRFR = expected return on a risk-free asset

Variance (Standard Deviation) of Returns for an Individual Investment
Standard deviation is the square root of the variance
Variance is a measure of the variation of possible rates of return Ri, from the expected rate of return [E(Ri)]
Covariance of Returns
• A measure of the degree to which two variables “move together” relative to their individual mean values over time
