Asset Pricing Theories Estimating expected return with the Asset Pricing Models of Modern Finance CAPM: strong assumption -- strong prediction. APT: weak assumption -- weak prediction.
6
The Arbitrage Pricing Theory Estimating the macro-economic betas. Obtain a characteristic line for each risk factor Regress return on stock against risk factor

Relationship Between Return to General Electric and Changes in Interest Rates -25% -20% -15% -10% -5% 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% Return to G.E. -10%-5%0%5%10% Percentage Change in Yield on Long-term Govt. Bond Line of Best Fit April, 1987

The Arbitrage Pricing Theory Estimating the macro-economic betas. No-arbitrage condition for asset pricing. If risk-return relationship is non-linear, you can arbitrage.

The Arbitrage Pricing Theory Two stocks: A: E(r) = 4%; Interest-rate beta = -2.20 B: E(r) = 26%; Interest-rate beta = 1.83 Invest 54.54% in E and 45.46% in A. Portfolio E(r) =.5454 * 26% +.4546 * 4% = 16% Portfolio beta =.5454 * 1.83 +.4546 * -2.20 = 0 With many combinations like this, you can create a risk-free portfolio with a 16% expected return.
11
The Arbitrage Pricing Theory Two different stocks: C: E(r) = 15%; Interest-rate beta = -1.00 D: E(r) = 25%; Interest-rate beta = 1.00 Invest 50.00% in E and 50.00% in A. Portfolio E(r) =.5000 * 25% +.4546 * 15% = 20% Portfolio beta =.5000 * 1.00 +.5000 * -1.00 = 0 With many combinations like this, you can create a risk-free portfolio with a 20% expected return. Then sell-short the 16% and invest the proceeds in the 20% to arbitrage.
12
The Arbitrage Pricing Theory No-arbitrage condition for asset pricing. If risk-return relationship is non-linear, you can arbitrage. Attempts to arbitrage will force linearity in relationship between risk and return.

14
The Arbitrage Pricing Theory But, in the real world … Finite samples and fat-tailed distributions preclude the formation of the riskless hedges that are necessary to ensure that the theory holds E.g., LTCM
