2. 10-2 Single Factor Model Returns on a security come from two sources –Common macro-economic factor –Firm specific events Possible common macro-economic factors –Gross Domestic Product Growth –Interest Rates

3. 10-3 Single Factor Model Equation r i = Return for security I = Factor sensitivity or factor loading or factor beta F = Surprise in macro-economic factor (F could be positive, negative or zero) e i = Firm specific events

4. 10-4 Multifactor Models Use more than one factor in addition to market return –Examples include gross domestic product, expected inflation, interest rates etc. –Estimate a beta or factor loading for each factor using multiple regression.

5. 10-5 Multifactor Model Equation r i = E(r i ) + GDP GDP + IR IR + e i r i = Return for security i GDP = Factor sensitivity for GDP IR = Factor sensitivity for Interest Rate e i = Firm specific events

6. 10-6 Multifactor SML Models E(r) = r f + GDP RP GDP + IR RP IR GDP = Factor sensitivity for GDP RP GDP = Risk premium for GDP  IR = Factor sensitivity for Interest Rate RP IR = Risk premium for Interest Rate

7. 10-7 Arbitrage Pricing Theory Arbitrage - arises if an investor can construct a zero investment portfolio with a sure profit Since no investment is required, an investor can create large positions to secure large levels of profit In efficient markets, profitable arbitrage opportunities will quickly disappear

8. 10-8 APT & Well-Diversified Portfolios r P = E (r P ) +  P F + e P F = some factor For a well-diversified portfolio: e P approaches zero Similar to CAPM,

13. 10-13 APT applies to well diversified portfolios and not necessarily to individual stocks With APT it is possible for some individual stocks to be mispriced - not lie on the SML APT is more general in that it gets to an expected return and beta relationship without the assumption of the market portfolio APT can be extended to multifactor models APT and CAPM Compared

14. 10-14 Multifactor APT Use of more than a single factor Requires formation of factor portfolios What factors? –Factors that are important to performance of the general economy –Fama-French Three Factor Model

15. 10-15 Two-Factor Model The multifactor APR is similar to the one- factor case –But need to think in terms of a factor portfolio Well-diversified Beta of 1 for one factor Beta of 0 for any other

16. 10-16 Example of the Multifactor Approach Work of Chen, Roll, and Ross –Chose a set of factors based on the ability of the factors to paint a broad picture of the macro-economy

17. 10-17 Another Example: Fama-French Three-Factor Model The factors chosen are variables that on past evidence seem to predict average returns well and may capture the risk premiums Where: –SMB = Small Minus Big, i.e., the return of a portfolio of small stocks in excess of the return on a portfolio of large stocks –HML = High Minus Low, i.e., the return of a portfolio of stocks with a high book to-market ratio in excess of the return on a portfolio of stocks with a low book-to-market ratio

18. 10-18 The Multifactor CAPM and the APM A multi-index CAPM will inherit its risk factors from sources of risk that a broad group of investors deem important enough to hedge The APT is largely silent on where to look for priced sources of risk
