8-3 Markowitz Portfolio Theory Combining stocks into portfolios can reduce standard deviation below the level obtained from a simple weighted average calculation. Correlation coefficients make this possible. efficient portfolios The various weighted combinations of stocks that create this standard deviations constitute the set of efficient portfolios.
8-4 Markowitz Portfolio Theory Price changes vs. Normal distribution Microsoft - Daily % change # of Days (frequency) Daily % Change
8-5 Markowitz Portfolio Theory Standard Deviation VS. Expected Return Investment C % probability % return
8-6 Markowitz Portfolio Theory Standard Deviation VS. Expected Return Investment D % probability % return
8-7 Markowitz Portfolio Theory Bristol-Myers Squibb McDonald’s Standard Deviation Expected Return (%) 45% McDonald’s Expected Returns and Standard Deviations vary given different weighted combinations of the stocks.
8-8 Efficient Frontier Standard Deviation Expected Return (%) Each half egg shell represents the possible weighted combinations for two stocks. The composite of all stock sets constitutes the efficient frontier.
8-9 Efficient Frontier Standard Deviation Expected Return (%) Lending or Borrowing at the risk free rate (r f ) allows us to exist outside the efficient frontier. rfrf Lending Borrowing T S

Security Market Line Return Risk. rfrf Efficient Portfolio Risk Free Return =
Security Market Line Return Risk. rfrf Risk Free Return = Market Return = r m Efficient Portfolio
Security Market Line Return Risk. rfrf Risk Free Return = Market Return = r m Efficient Portfolio
Security Market Line Return BETA. rfrf Risk Free Return = Market Return = r m Efficient Portfolio 1.0
Security Market Line Return BETA rfrf Risk Free Return = Market Return = r m 1.0 Security Market Line (SML)
Security Market Line Return BETA rfrf 1.0 SML SML Equation = r f + B ( r m - r f )

Arbitrage Pricing Theory Alternative to CAPM Expected Risk Premium = r - r f = B factor1 (r factor1 - r f ) + B f2 (r f2 - r f ) + … Return= a + b factor1 (r factor1 ) + b f2 (r f2 ) + …
