Learning Objectives Cleary Jones/Investments: Analysis and Management, 3 rd Canadian Edition, Chapter 6

4. Function of both return and risk  At the centre of security analysis How should realized return and risk be measured?  The realized risk-return tradeoff is based on the past  The expected future risk-return tradeoff is uncertain and may not occur Asset Valuation

5. Cleary Jones/Investments: Analysis and Management, 3 rd Canadian Edition, Chapter 6 Returns consist of two elements:  Yield: Periodic cash flows such as interest or dividends (income return) “Yield” measures relate income return to a price for the security  Capital Gain or Loss: Price appreciation or depreciation The change in price of the asset Total Return = Yield + Price Change Return Components

6. Cleary Jones/Investments: Analysis and Management, 3 rd Canadian Edition, Chapter 6 Interest Rate Risk  Affects market value and resale price Market Risk  Overall market effects Inflation Risk  Purchasing power variability Business Risk Financial Risk  Tied to debt financing Liquidity Risk  Time and price concession required to sell security Exchange Rate Risk Country Risk  Potential change in degree of political stability Risk Sources

7. Cleary Jones/Investments: Analysis and Management, 3 rd Canadian Edition, Chapter 6 Two general types:  Systematic (market) risk Pervasive, affecting all securities, cannot be avoided Interest rate or market or inflation risks  Non-systematic (non-market) risk Unique characteristics specific to a security Total Risk = General Risk + Specific Risk = Systematic Risk + Non-Systematic Risk Types of Risk

8. Cleary Jones/Investments: Analysis and Management, 3 rd Canadian Edition, Chapter 6 Total Return (TR) compares performance over time or across different securities Total Return is a percentage relating all cash flows received during a given time period, denoted CF t +(P E - P B ), to the start of period price, P B Measuring Returns

9. Cleary Jones/Investments: Analysis and Management, 3 rd Canadian Edition, Chapter 6 Total Return can be either positive or negative  When cumulating or compounding, negative returns are a problem A Return Relative solves the problem because it is always positive Measuring Returns

10. Cleary Jones/Investments: Analysis and Management, 3 rd Canadian Edition, Chapter 6 To measure the level of wealth created by an investment rather than the change in wealth, returns need to be cumulated over time Cumulative Wealth Index, CWI n, over n periods, = Measuring Returns

11. Cleary Jones/Investments: Analysis and Management, 3 rd Canadian Edition, Chapter 6 International returns include any realized exchange rate changes  If foreign currency depreciates, returns are lower in domestic currency terms Total Return in domestic currency = Measuring International Returns

12. Cleary Jones/Investments: Analysis and Management, 3 rd Canadian Edition, Chapter 6 TR, RR, and CWI are useful for a given, single time period What about summarizing returns over several time periods?  Arithmetic mean and geometric mean Arithmetic mean, or simply mean Summary Statistics for Returns

13. Cleary Jones/Investments: Analysis and Management, 3 rd Canadian Edition, Chapter 6 Arithmetic mean does not measure the compound growth rate over time  Does not capture the realized change in wealth over multiple periods  Does capture typical return in a single period Geometric mean reflects compound, cumulative returns over more than one period Arithmetic versus Geometric

14. Cleary Jones/Investments: Analysis and Management, 3 rd Canadian Edition, Chapter 6 Geometric mean defined as the n-th root of the product of n return relatives minus one, or G = Difference between Geometric mean and Arithmetic mean depends on the variability of returns, s Geometric Mean

15. Cleary Jones/Investments: Analysis and Management, 3 rd Canadian Edition, Chapter 6 Returns measures are not adjusted for inflation  Purchasing power of investment may change over time  Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a possible measure of inflation Inflation-Adjusted Returns

16. Cleary Jones/Investments: Analysis and Management, 3 rd Canadian Edition, Chapter 6 Risk is the chance that the actual outcome will be different than the expected outcome Standard Deviation measures the deviation of returns from the mean Measuring Risk

17. Cleary Jones/Investments: Analysis and Management, 3 rd Canadian Edition, Chapter 6 Premium is additional return earned or expected for additional risk  Calculated for any two asset classes Equity risk premium is the difference between stock and risk-free returns Bond default premium is the difference between the return on long term corporate bonds and long term government bonds Risk Premiums

18. Cleary Jones/Investments: Analysis and Management, 3 rd Canadian Edition, Chapter 6 Equity Risk Premium, ERP, = Risk Premiums

19. Cleary Jones/Investments: Analysis and Management, 3 rd Canadian Edition, Chapter 6 Since 1938, cumulative wealth indexes show stock returns dominate bond returns  Stock standard deviations also exceed bond standard deviations Annual geometric mean return for the time period between 1938 and 2007 for Canadian common stocks is 10.68% with standard deviation of 16.22% The Risk-Return Record
