Concept No. 2: Major return Measures
(i) Holding Period Return (HPR) :-
HPR is simply the percentage increase in the value of an investment over a given time period.
HPR = -667558897;-667558869;-667558878;-667558884;-667558882; -667558886;-667558867; -667558867;-667558879;-667558882; -667558882;-667558873;-667558883;−-667558871;-667558869;-667558878;-667558884;-667558882; -667558886;-667558867; -667558867;-667558879;-667558882; -667558885;-667558882;-667558880;-667558880;-667558878;-667558873;-667558878;-667558873;-667558880;+-667558909;-667558878;-667558865;-667558878;-667558883;-667558882;-667558873;-667558883;
-667558871;-667558869;-667558878;-667558884;-667558882; -667558886;-667558867; -667558867;-667558879;-667558882; -667558885;-667558882;-667558880;-667558880;-667558878;-667558873;-667558878;-667558873;-667558880;
(ii) Arithmetic Mean Return :-
It is the simple average of a series of periodic returns.
= -667558895;-667557937;+ -667558895;-667557936;+-667558895;-667557935;+-667558895;-667557934;+⋯+-667558895;-667558873;
-667558873;
Concept No. 3: Calculation of Return of an individual security
1. Average Return :-
Step 1: Calculate HPR for different years, if it is not directly given in the Question.
Step 2: Calculate Average Return i.e. ∑-667558889;
-667558873;
2. Expected Return (Expected Value):-
E(x) = ∑-667558897;-667558889;-667558878;-667558889;-667558878; = -667558897;-667558889;-667557937;-667558889;-667557937;+-667558897;-667558889;-667557936;-667558889;-667557936;+-667558897;-667558889;-667557935;-667558889;-667557935;+⋯+-667558897;-667558889;-667558873;-667558889;-667558873;

Concept No. 4: Calculation of Risk of an individual security
Risk of an individual security will cover under following heads:
1. Standard Deviation of Security (S.D) :- (S.D) or σ (sigma) is a measure of total risk /
investment risk.
Based on Past Data:-
Formula
(σ) = √∑(-667558889;−-667558889;̅ )-667557936;
-667558873;
Note: For sample data, we may use (n-1) instead of n in some cases.
x = Given Data
x̅ = Average Return
n = No. of events/year
Note: ∑(X− X̅ ) will always be Zero
Based on Probability:-
S.D (σ ) = √∑-667558871;-667558869;-667558872;-667558885;-667558886;-667558885;-667558878;-667558875;-667558878;-667558867;-667558862;(-667558889;−-667558889;̅ )-667557936;
Where x̅ = Expected Return
Note:
∑(X− X̅ ) may or may not be Zero in this case.
S.D can never be negative. It can be zero or greater than zero.
S.D of risk-free securities or government securities or U.S treasury securities is always
assumed to be zero unless, otherwise specified in question.
Decision:
Higher the S.D, Higher the risk and vice versa.
Standard Deviation

2. Variance
Based on Past Data:-
Variance = (S.D) 2 = (σ) 2
Variance = ∑(-667558889;−-667558889;̅ )-667557936;
-667558873;
Based on Probability:-
Variance = ∑-667558871;-667558869;-667558872;-667558885;-667558886;-667558885;-667558878;-667558875;-667558878;-667558867;-667558862;(-667558889;−-667558889;̅ )-667557936;
Decision:
Higher the Variance, Higher the risk and vice versa.
3. Co-efficient of Variation (CV) :-
CV is used to measure the risk (variable) per unit of expected return (mean)
Formula:
CV = -667558894;-667558867;-667558886;-667558873;-667558883;-667558886;-667558869;-667558883; -667558909;-667558882;-667558865;-667558878;-667558886;-667558867;-667558878;-667558872;-667558873; -667558872;-667558881; -667558889;
-667558912;-667558865;-667558882;-667558869;-667558886;-667558880;-667558882;/-667558908;-667558863;-667558871;-667558882;-667558884;-667558867;-667558882;-667558883; -667558865;-667558886;-667558875;-667558866;-667558882; -667558872;-667558881; -667558889;
Decision:
Higher the C.V, Higher the risk and vice versa.
Concept No. 5: Rules of Dominance in case of an individual Security or when two
securities are given
Rule No. 1:
X Ltd. Y Ltd
σ 5 5
Return 10 15
Decision:- Select Y. Ltd.
For a given 2 securities, given same S.D or Risk, select that security which gives
higher return.
Rule No. 2:
X Ltd. Y Ltd
σ 5 10
Return 15 15
Decision:- Select X. Ltd.
For a given 2 securities, given same return, select which is having lower risk in
comparison to other.

Decision:- Based on CV (Co-efficient of Variation).
When Risk and return are different, decision is based on CV.
CV x = 5/10 = 0.50 CV y = 10/25 = 0.40
Decision:- Select Y. Ltd.
Concept No. 6: Calculation of Return of a Portfolio of assets
It is the weighted average return of the individual assets/securities.
Where, W i = Market Value of investments in asset
Market Value of the Portfolio
Sum of the weights must always =1
i.e. W A + W B = 1
Concept No. 7: Risk of a Portfolio of Assets
Standard Deviation of a Two-Asset Portfolio
σ1,2 = √ -667557937;-667557936;-667558864;-667557937;-667557936;+ -667557936;-667557936;-667558864;-667557936;-667557936;+-667557936;-667557937;-667558864;-667557937;-667557936;-667558864;-667557936;-667558869;-667557937;,-667557936;

Or
Cov1,2 = r1,2 σ1 σ2
The correlation co-efficient has no units. It is a pure measure of co-movement of the two
stock’s return and is bounded by -1 and +1.
2) Co-Variance
Cov X,Y = ∑( -667558889;− -667558889;̅ ) ( -667558888;− -667558888;̅)

Note:
Co-Variance or Co-efficient of Co-relation between risk-free security & risky security will always
be zero.
Concept No. 8: Portfolio risk as Correlation varies
Note:
The portfolio risk falls as the correlation between the asset’s return decreases.
The lower the correlation of assets return, the greater the risk reduction (diversification)
benefit of combining assets in a portfolio.
If assets return when perfectly negatively correlated, portfolio risk could be minimum.
Portfolio Diversification refers to the strategy of reducing risk by combining many different
types of assets into a portfolio. Portfolio risk falls as more assets are added to the portfolio
because not all assets prices move in the same direction at the same time. Therefore, portfolio
diversification is affected by the:

Concept No. 11: Calculation of Portfolio risk and return using Risk-free securities
and Market Securities
Under this we will construct a portfolio using risk-free securities and market securities.
Case 1: Investment 100% in risk-free (RF) & 0% in Market
Risk = 0% [S.D of risk free security is always 0(Zero).]
Return = risk-free return
Case 2: Investment 0% in risk-free (RF) & 100% in Market
Risk = σ m
Return = R m

Case 3: Invest part of the money in Market & part of the money in Risk-free
Return = R m W m + RF W Rf
Risk of the portfolio = σ m × Wm (σ of RF = 0)
Case 4: Invest more than 100% in market portfolio. Addition amount should be borrowed
at risk-free rate.
Let the additional amount borrowed weight = x
Return of Portfolio = R m× (1+ x) – RF × x
Risk of Portfolio = σ m × (1+ x)
Concept No. 12: Optimum Weights
For Risk minimization, we will calculate optimum weights.

Concept No. 13: CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model)
For Individual Security:
The relationship between Beta (Systematic Risk) and expected return is known as CAPM.
Required return/ Expected Return
= Risk-free Return + -667558911;-667558882;-667558867;-667558886; -667558868;-667558882;-667558884;-667558866;-667558869;-667558878;-667558867;-667558862;

OR
= RF + β s (R m – RF)
Note:
Market Beta is always assumed to be 1.
Market Beta is a benchmark against which we can compare beta for different securities and
portfolio.
Standard Deviation & Beta of risk free security is assumed to be Zero (0) unless
otherwise stated.

R m – R F = Market Risk Premium.
If Return Market (R m) is missing in equation, it can be calculated through HPR (Holding
Period Return)
R m is always calculated on the total basis taking all the securities available in the market.
Security Risk Premium = β (R m – R F)
For Portfolio of Securities:
Required return/ Expected Return = RF + βPortfolio (R m – RF)
Concept No. 14: Decision Based on CAPM
Case Decision Strategy
Estimated Return/ HPR < CAPM Return Over-Valued Sell
Estimated Return/ HPR > CAPM Return Under-Valued Buy
Estimated Return/ HPR = CAPM Return Correctly Valued Buy, Sell or Ignore
CAPM return need to be calculated by formula, RF + β (R m – RF)
Actual return / Estimated return can be calculated through HPR
Concept No. 15: Systematic Risk, Unsystematic risk & Total Risk
Total Risk () = Systematic Risk (β) + Unsystematic Risk
Unsystematic Risk (Controllable Risk):-
The risk that is eliminated by diversification is called Unsystematic Risk (also called unique,
firm-specific risk or diversified risk). They can be controlled by the management of entity.
E.g. Strikes, Change in management, etc.
Systematic Risk (Uncontrollable Risk):-
The risk that remains can’t be diversified away is called systematic risk (also called market
risk or non-diversifiable risk). This risk affects all companies operating in the market.

For A Portfolio of Securities:
Concept No. 26: Co-efficient of Determination
Co-efficient of Determination = (Co-efficient of co-relation) 2
= r 2
Co-efficient of determination (r2) gives the percentage of variation in the security’s return
i.e. explained by the variation of the market index return.
Example:
If r2 = 18%
In the X Company’s stock return, 18% of the variation is explained by the variation of the
index and 82% is not explained by the index.
According to Sharpe, the variance explained by the index is the systematic risk. The
unexplained variance or the residual variance is the Unsystematic Risk.
Use of Co-efficient of Determination in Calculating Systematic Risk & Unsystematic Risk:
1. Explained by Index [Systematic Risk]
= Variance of Security Return × Co-efficient of Determination of Security
i.e. σ12 × r2
2. Not Explained by Index [Unsystematic Risk]
= Variance of Security Return × (1 - Co-efficient of Determination of Security )
i.e. σ12 × (1 - r2)
Concept No. 27: Portfolio Rebalancing
Portfolio re-balancing means balancing the value of portfolio according to the market
condition.
Total Risk = σP2
or
= ( ∑ W iβ i )2x σ2m + ∑ W i2x USR i
Systematic Risk (%)
SR = βP2x σm2
( ∑ W iβ i )2x σ2m
Unsystematic Risk (%)
USR = TR -SR
= σP2-βP2x σm2
∑ W i2x USR i

Three policy of portfolio rebalancing:
(a) Buy & Hold Policy : [“Do Nothing” Policy]
(b) Constant Mix Policy: [“Do Something” Policy]
(c) Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance Policy (CPPI): [“Do Something” Policy]
Value of Equity (Stock) = m × [Portfolio Value – Floor Value], Where m = multiplier
The performance feature of the three policies may be summed up as follows:
(a) Buy and Hold Policy
(ii) Gives rise to a straight line pay off.
(iii) Provides a definite downside protection.
(iv) Performance between Constant mix policy and CPPI policy.
(a) Constant Mix Policy
(i) Gives rise to concave pay off drive.
(ii) Doesn’t provide much downward protection and tends to do relatively poor in the up
market.
(ii) Tends to do very well in flat but fluctuating market.
(a) CPPI Policy
(i) Gives rise to a convex pay off drive.
(ii) Provides good downside protection and performance well in up market.
(iii) Tends to do very poorly in flat but in fluctuating market.
Note:
If Stock market moves only in one direction, then the best policy is CPPI policy and worst
policy is Constant Mix Policy and between lies buy & hold policy.
If Stock market is fluctuating, constant mix policy sums to be superior to other policies.

Concept No. 28: Modern Portfolio Theory/ Markowitz Portfolio Theory/ Rule of
Dominance in case of selection of more than two securities
Under this theory, we will select the best portfolio with the help of efficient frontier.
Efficient Frontier:
Those portfolios that have the greatest expected return for each level of risk make up the
efficient frontier.
All portfolios which lie on efficient frontier are efficient portfolios.
Efficient Portfolios:
Rule 1: Those Portfolios having same risk but given higher return.
Rule 2: Those Portfolios having same return but having lower risk.
Rule 3: Those Portfolios having lower risk and also given higher returns.
Rule 4: Those Portfolios undertaking higher risk and also given higher return
In-efficient Portfolios:
Which don’t lie on efficient frontier.
Solution Criteria:
For selection of best portfolio out of the efficient portfolios, we must consider the risk-return
preference of an individual investor.
If investors want to take risk, invest in the Upper End of efficient frontier portfolios.
If investors don’t want to take risk, invest in the Lower End of efficient frontier portfolios.
Concept No. 29: Capital Market Line (CML)

Under the assumption of homogenous expectations (Maximum Return & Minimum Risk),
the optimal CAL for investors is termed the Capital Market Line (CML).
CML reflect the relationship between the expected return & total risk (σ).
Equation of this line:-
E(R p) = RF + -667558871;
-667558874; [E (RM) – RF]
Where [E (RM) – RF] is Market Risk Premium
Concept No. 30: SML (Security Market Line)
SML reflects the relationship between expected return and systematic risk (β)
Equation:
E (R i) = RFR + -667558910;-667558898;-667558891;-667558878;,-667558900;-667558886;-667558869;-667558876;-667558882;-667558867;

Beta
If Beta = 0
CAPM Return = R f + β (R m – R f)
= R f
If Beta = 1
E(R) = R f + β (R m – R f)
= R f + R m – R f
= R m
Graphical representation of CAPM is SML.
According to CAPM, all securities and portfolios, diversified or not, will plot on the SML in
equilibrium.
