1. 13-0 Expected Returns 13.1 Expected returns are based on the probabilities of possible outcomes In this context, “expected” means average if the process is repeated many times The “expected” return does not even have to be a possible return LO1 © 2013 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited

2. 13-1 Expected Returns – Example 1 Suppose you have predicted the following returns for stocks C and T in three possible states of nature. What are the expected returns? StateProbabilityCT Boom0.30.150.25 Normal 0.50.100.20 Recession???0.020.01 R C =.3(.15) +.5(.10) +.2(.02) =.099 = 9.9% R T =.3(.25) +.5(.20) +.2(.01) =.177 = 17.7% LO1 © 2013 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited

4. 13-3 Variance and Standard Deviation Variance and standard deviation still measure the volatility of returns You can use unequal probabilities for the entire range of possibilities Weighted average of squared deviations LO1 © 2013 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited

5. 13-4 Variance and Standard Deviation – Example 1 Consider the previous example. What is the variance and standard deviation for each stock? Stock C  2 =.3(.15-.099) 2 +.5(.1-.099) 2 +.2(.02-.099) 2 =.002029  =.045 Stock T  2 =.3(.25-.177) 2 +.5(.2-.177) 2 +.2(.01-.177) 2 =.007441  =.0863 LO1 © 2013 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited

8. 13-7 Portfolios 13.2 A portfolio is a collection of assets An asset’s risk and return is important in how it affects the risk and return of the portfolio The risk-return trade-off for a portfolio is measured by the portfolio expected return and standard deviation, just as with individual assets LO1 © 2013 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited

9. 13-8 Example: Portfolio Weights Suppose you have $15,000 to invest and you have purchased securities in the following amounts. What are your portfolio weights in each security? $2000 of ABC $3000 of DEF $4000 of GHI $6000 of JKL ABC: 2/15 =.133 DEF: 3/15 =.2 GHI: 4/15 =.267 JKL: 6/15 =.4 LO1 © 2013 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited

10. 13-9 Portfolio Expected Returns The expected return of a portfolio is the weighted average of the expected returns for each asset in the portfolio You can also find the expected return by finding the portfolio return in each possible state and computing the expected value as we did with individual securities LO1 © 2013 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited

11. 13-10 Example: Expected Portfolio Returns Consider the portfolio weights computed previously. If the individual stocks have the following expected returns, what is the expected return for the portfolio? ABC: 19.65% DEF: 8.96% GHI: 9.67% JKL: 8.13% E(R P ) =.133(19.65) +.2(8.96) +.267(9.67) +.4(8.13) = 10.24% Click the Excel icon for an example LO1 © 2013 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited

12. 13-11 Portfolio Variance Compute the portfolio return for each state: R P = w 1 R 1 + w 2 R 2 + … + w m R m Compute the expected portfolio return using the same formula as for an individual asset Compute the portfolio variance and standard deviation using the same formulas as for an individual asset LO1 © 2013 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Limited
