A Brief History of Risk and Return

• Two key observations:

1. There is a substantial reward, on average, for bearing risk.

2. Greater risks accompany greater returns.

1-3

Dollar & Percent Returns

• Total dollar return = the return on an investment measured in dollars• $ return = dividends + capital gains

• Total percent return is the return on an investment measured as a percentage of the original investment.• % Return = $ return/$ invested• The total percent return is the return for each

dollar invested.

Example: Calculating Total Dollar and Total Percent Returns

• You invest in a stock with a share price of $25. • After one year, the stock price per share is $35. • Each share paid a $2 dividend.

• What was your total return?

Dollars Percent

Dividend $2.00 $2/25 = 8%

Capital Gain $35 - $25 = $10 $10/25= 40 %

Total Return $2 + $10 = $12 $12/$25 = 48%

Annualized Returns – Example 1

P0 = $20 P.33 = $22 t = “.33” since 4 months is 1/3 of a year

You buy a stock for $20 per share on January 1.

Four months later you sell for $22 per share.

No dividend has been paid yet this year.

Annualized Returns – Example 2

P0 = $20 P2 = $28

HPR = 2 years (t = 2)

Historical Average Returns

• Historical Average Return = simple, or arithmetic average.

• Using the data in Table 1.1: • Sum the returns for large-company stocks from 1926

through 2006, you get about 984 percent.

• Divide by the number of years (80) = 12.3%.

• Your best guess about the size of the return for a year

selected at random is 12.3%.

Average Annual Returns for Five Portfolios

1-18

Average Returns: The First Lesson

• Risk-free rate:

• Rate of return on a riskless investment• Risk premium:

• Extra return on a risky asset over the risk-free rate

• Reward for bearing risk• The First Lesson: There is a reward, on

average, for bearing risk.

1-19

Average Annual Risk Premiums for Five Portfolios

1-20

Risk Premiums

• Risk is measured by the dispersion or spread of returns

• Risk metrics:• Variance • Standard deviation

• The Second Lesson: The greater the potential reward, the greater the risk.

1-21

Return Variability Review and Concepts

• Variance (σ2)• Common measure of return dispersion • Also call variability

• Standard deviation (σ) • Square root of the variance• Sometimes called volatility• Same "units" as the average

1-22

Return Variability: The Statistical Tools for Historical Returns

Return Variability Review and Concepts

• Normal distribution: • A symmetric, bell-shaped frequency

distribution (the bell-shaped curve)• Completely described with an average

and a standard deviation (mean and variance)

• Does a normal distribution describe asset returns?

Arithmetic Averages versusGeometric Averages

• The arithmetic average return answers the question: “What was your return in an average year over a particular period?”

• The geometric average return answers the question: “What was your average compound return per year over a particular period?”

Geometric Average Return: Formula

Ri = return in each period

N = number of periods

Arithmetic Averages versusGeometric Averages

• The arithmetic average tells you what you earned in a typical year.

• The geometric average tells you what you actually earned per year on average, compounded annually.

• “Average returns” generally means arithmetic average returns.

1-34

Geometric versus Arithmetic Averages

• For forecasting future returns:• Arithmetic average "too high" for long forecasts

• Geometric average "too low" for short forecasts

1-35

Blume’s Formula

• Form a “T” year average return forecast from arithmetic and geometric averages covering “N” years, N>T.

Risk and Return

• The risk-free rate represents compensation for the time value of money.

• First Lesson: • If we are willing to bear risk, then we can

expect to earn a risk premium, at least on average.

• Second Lesson: • The more risk we are willing to bear, the

greater the expected risk premium.
