15 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
total return
expected return + unexpected return
normal/expected return
part of the return that investors predict or expect
uncertain/risky return
comes from unexpected information revealed during the year
announcements/news
periodic announcements about events can significantly impact the profits.

ex: earnings, product development, personnel

announcement = expected news + surprise news
systematic/market risk
risk that influences a large number of assets

also known as non-diversifiable risk
unsystematic/unique/firm-specific risk
risk that influences a single company or a small group of companies

also known as diversifiable risk
systematic risk principle
states the expected return on an asset depends only on its systematic risk.
beta coefficient
measures the relative systematic risk of an asset.

assets with this larger than 1.0 have more systematic risk than average (greater expected returns)
assets with this smaller than 1.0 have less systematic risk than average to 0 (risk free asset)
portfolio beta
you can multiply each asset's beta by its portfolio weight and then add the results to get the portfolio's beta
reward to risk ratio
all combinations of portfolios expected returns and betas fall on a straight line

(expected return - risk free rate) / beta
security market line (SML)
graphical representation of the linear relationship between systematic risk and expected return in financial markets
market risk premium
(expected return of market - risk free rate)
capital asset pricing model (CAPM)
theory of risk and return for securities on a competitive capital market

E(Ri) = R(f) + ( E(Rm) - R(f) ) * beta
beta equation
Corr( Ri, Rm ) * ( std. deviation(i) / std. deviation(m) )

how closely correlated the security's return is with the overall market's return and how volatile the security is relative to the market
Fama-french three-factor model
in addition to beta, two other factors appear to be useful in explaining the relationship between risk and return:

size --> measured by market capitalization
book value to market value ratio (B/M)

considers the fact that value and small cap stocks outperform markets on a regular basis
