ASSET PRICING FACULTY F MATHEMATICS BELGRADE 2010
Introduction • Investors are concerned with • Risk • Returns • What determines the required compensation for risk? • It will depend on • The risk faced by investors • The tradeoff between risk and return they face
Measuring Return change in asset value + income • R is typically annualized return = R = initial value
example 1 • Bond: 1 month holding period • buy for $9488, sell for $9528 • 1 month R: 9528 - 9488 =0 .0042 = 0.42% 9488
annualized R: (1.0042)12 - 1 = 0.052 = 5.2%
example 2 • 100 shares IBM, 9 months • buy for $62, sell for $101.50 • $.80 dividends • 9 month R: 101.50 - 62 + .80 =0 .65 =65% 62
annualized R: (1.65)12/9 - 1 =0 .95 = 95%
example 3 R Prob(R) 10% 0.2 5% 0.4 -5% 0.4 E(R) = (0.2)10% + (0.4)5% + (0.4)(-5%) = 2%
example 4 s2 = (0.2)(10%-2%)2 + (0.4)(5%-2%)2 + (0.4)(-5%-2%)2 = 0.0039 s = 6.24%

Efficient frontier • 1. Find all asset expected returns and standard deviations. • 2. Pick one expected return and minimize portfolio risk. • 3. Pick another expected return and minimize portfolio risk. • 4. Use these two portfolios to map out the efficient frontier.
CAPM • CAPM Characteristics: • bi = sismrim/sm2 • Asset Pricing Equation: • E(ri) = rf + bi[E(rm)-rf] • CAPM is a model of what expected returns should be if everyone solves the same passive portfolio problem
Tobin Separation Theorem • When the riskfree asset is introduced, • All investors prefer a combination of • 1) The riskfree asset and • 2) The market portfolio • Such combinations dominate all other assets and portfolios (in a sense of risk-return)
CAPM • Suppose you have the following information: rf = 3.5% E(rm)=8.5% bIBM=0.75 • What should E(rIBM) be? • Answer:
