Statistics Review: Covariance
Covariance: measures how two variables move in relation to one anotherPositive: The two variables move up together or
down together Ex: Height and Weight
Negative: When one moves up the other moves down
Ex: Sleep and Coffee consumption
7
Calculation
Cov (X,Y) = σXY = Σ pi * (Xi – μx) * (Yi – μY)
σXY = p1*(X1 – μX)*(Y1 – μY)+p2*(X2 – μX)*(Y2 – μY)+….+pN*(XN – μX)*(YN – μY)
Note that σXX = Σ pi * (Xi – μx) * (Xi – μX)Which implies?The covariance of an asset with itself is variance
8
Covariance Strength
If the covariance of asset 1 and 2 is -1,000, and between asset 1 and 3 is 500. Which asset is more closely related to 1?
We don’t know Covariance gives the direction, BUT NOT
the strength of the relation.
9
Correlation Coefficient
Correlation Coefficient: Measures the strength of the covariance relationshipThe correlation coefficient is a standardization of
covariance
ρ12 = σ12 / (σ1 * σ2)

14
Possible Correlation Coefficients ρ12 has to be between -1 and 1
+1 implies that the assets are perfectly positively correlated
One goes up 10% the other goes up 10%0 implies that the assets are not related
One goes up 10% the other does nothing-1 implies that the assets are perfectly negatively
correlated One goes up 10% the other goes down 10%
15
Comparing Strength
When determining the strength of a correlation all we care about is the absolute value of the correlation coefficient
If ρ13 is -0.8, and ρ23 is 0.5, which asset is more correlated with 3?
Series 1
16
Correlation Coefficient Example
σ13 is -1,000; σ23 is 500 σ1 is 10; σ2 is 1,000; σ3 is 250 Is 1 or 2 more strongly correlated with 3? ρ13 = σ13 / (σ1 * σ3) = -1000/(10*250) = -0.4 ρ23 = σ23 / (σ2* σ3) = 500/(1000*250) = 0.002 Since |ρ13| is greater than |ρ23|, the
relationship between 1 and 3 is stronger
17
Portfolio Risk
So far we’ve been examining the risk of individual assets, but what happens when we combine individual assets into a portfolio?

Diversification
Reduces risk by combining assets that are unlikely to all move in the same direction, without sacrificing expected return
Intuition: “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket” Stocks don’t move in exactly the same way. On a given
day, while Boeing may yield positive 1% return, Microsoft may have gone down 1%. So, if you had invested a dollar each in Boeing and Microsoft, you would not have lost any money.
Historical Non-Diversifiers

the World”

Two Types of Risk Diversifiable/Unsystematic/Unique risk
Diversifiable risk affects individual or small groups of firms (industries)
Ex: Lawsuits, Strikes
Non-Diversifiable/Systematic/Market riskAffects all firms, economy wide risks
Ex: Business Cycle, Inflations Shocks
Which does σ measure?Total Risk: Unsystematic plus Systematic
How Diversification Works
Reduces/eliminates unsystematic risk. Why can’t we diversify away systematic risk?

Portfolio Variance Example
Two stocks A and B have expected returns of 10% and 20%.
In the past, A and B have had std dev of 15% and 25%, respectively, with a correlation coefficient of 0.2.
You decide to invest 30% in A and the rest in B. Calculate the portfolio return and portfolio risk. Has
diversification been of any use? Explain.
27
Calculations wA = 30%wB =
A = 10% B = 20%
A = 15% B = 25% AB = 0.2
Portfolio Return = Portfolio Variance = Portfolio Standard Deviation = Weighted Average Standard Deviation
28
Calculations wA = 30%wB = 70%
A = 10% B = 20%
A = 15% B = 25% AB = 0.2
Portfolio Return = Portfolio Variance = Portfolio Standard Deviation = Weighted Average Standard Deviation
29
Calculations wA = 30%wB = 70%
A = 10% B = 20%
A = 15% B = 25% AB = 0.2
Portfolio Return = 0.3*0.10 + 0.7*0.20 = 17% Portfolio Variance = Portfolio Standard Deviation = Weighted Average Standard Deviation
30
Calculations wA = 30% wB = 70% A = 10% B = 20% A = 15% B = 25% AB = 0.2 Portfolio Return = 17% Portfolio Variance =

A = 10% B = 20%
A = 15% B = 25% AB = 0.2
Portfolio Return = 17% Portfolio Variance =358%2
Portfolio Standard Deviation = 18.9% Weighted Average Standard Deviation
32
Calculations wA = 30%wB = 70%
A = 10% B = 20%
A = 15% B = 25% AB = 0.2

Portfolio Standard Deviation = 18.9% Weighted Average Standard Deviation
0.3*0.15+0.7*0.25= 22%
33
Remarks on Diversification
Diversification reduces the p from 22% to 18.9%
What happens if AB = 1?There is no diversification benefit
What happens as AB approaches -1?Diversification increases

Which Efficient Portfolio? M, the MARKET PORTFOLIO
It offers the best risk return trade off SHARPE RATIO is the “price” of risk: (ri - rf) / i
Measure the return per unit of riskA higher Sharpe Ratio implies that we receive more
return per unit of risk
45
Why only two assets?
Holding any risky asset other than M offers a lower risk adjusted returnThe investor is bearing more risk than necessaryThe investor is accepting too low a return
Rf is how we adjust for our risk tolerance

Investing on the CML: In Two Easy Steps1. Find M
2. Determine your level of risk aversion Risk aversion determines location on the CML The more risk averse the investor the safer the

Risk & Pricing: Aside Investor A is undiversified, while B has a diversified
portfolio. Both investors want to buy a share in Facebook. Who gets the share? Which investor has a higher discount rate?
Assume: A’s discount rate is 20% and B’s is 10% & Facebook is expected to pay a constant $20 dividend Which investor offers a higher price for the share? (Hint: The price
offered is the PV of expected cash flows) B = 20/.1 = $200 A = 20/.2 = $100

Risk compensation
In a diversified portfolio, risk depends exclusively on the underlying securities exposure to systematic risk
Since unique risk can be diversified away the market will not compensate an investor for holding it Within the market the undiversified investor will always loss to the
diversified investor
52
Measuring Systematic Risk
BETA (β): is how we measure systematic risk exposureβ – measures the sensitivity of the stock return to the
market return (ex S&P 500)
53
β Formulas
βi = i,m / m2
βi = ρim m i / m2
βi = (ρim i )/ m
54
βi = (ρim i )/ m Interpretation
i – Measures asset ‘i’ total risk ρim – Measures the proportion of i’s total risk
that is systematic m – Measures the total market risk
Which is??? ρimi– Measures the systematic risk of asset ‘i’ So βi:
55
βi = (ρim i )/ m Interpretation
i – Measures asset ‘i’ total risk ρim – Measures the proportion of i’s total risk
that is systematic m – Measures the total market risk
Which is??? Systematic Risk ρimi– Measures the systematic risk of asset ‘i’ So βi:
56
βi = (ρim i )/ m Interpretation
i – Measures asset ‘i’ total risk
ρim – Measures the proportion of i’s total risk that is systematic
m – Measures the total market risk
Which is??? Systematic Risk ρimi– Measures the systematic risk of asset ‘i’
So βi: is the ratio of the asset’s systematic risk to the systematic risk of the marketAn asset’s marginal contribution to the risk of
the portfolio
57
Market β
βm = m,m / m2
βm = m2 / m
2
βm = 1
What is the β of the risk free asset? rf,m = 0 so βrf = 0
58
Notes on β
β – tells us how sensitive a stock is to market movements“Average Stock” has a β of 1Stocks with β > 1 amplify market movementsStocks with 0 < β < 1 reduce market movementsStocks with negative β?Move opposite the market
59
Portfolio β
The weighted average of the component stocks’ β
Example: You invested 40% of your money in asset A, βA is 1.5 and the balance in asset B, βB is 0.5. What is the portfolio beta?
βPort = 0.4*1.5 + 0.6*0.5 = 0.9
60
CAPM and β CAPM states that expected returns are proportional to an
investment’s systematic riskA stock’s expected risk premium varies in proportion to it’s β
E(Ri) = Rf + βi (RM - Rf)
Security Market Line (SML) is the graphical representation of this relation
