Capital Market Line Separation Theorem James Tobin (1958) paper said if you hold risky securities and are able to borrow - buying stocks on margin - or lend - buying risk-free assets - and you do so at the same rate, then the efficient frontier is a single portfolio of risky securities plus borrowing and lending…

Capital Market Line Tobin's Separation Theorem separate the problem into : first finding that optimal combination of risky securities deciding whether to lend or borrow, depending on your attitude toward risk. if there's only one portfolio plus borrowing and lending, it's got to be the market.

22 CAPM Assumptions Investors rely on two factors in making their decisions: expected _ _ _ _ _ _ and variance. Investors are rational and risk a_ _ _ _ _ and subscribe to Markowitz (1958) methods of portfolio diversification. Investors all invest for the same period of time. There is a risk _ _ _ _ investment, and investors can borrow and lend any amount at the risk-free rate. Capital markets are completely competitive
23
23 In the development of portfolio theory Markowitz (1958) defined the variance of the rate of return as the appropriate measure of risk. However this can be sub-divided into two general types of risk: systematic and unsystematic risk. William Sharpe (1963) defined systematic risk as the portion of an assets variability that can be attributed to a common factor. Systematic (or market risk) is the minimum level of risk CAPM Terminologies: Systematic and Unsystematic risk
24
24 Sharpe (1963) defined the portion of an assets variability that can be diversified away as unsystematic (or unique) risk. CAPM Terminologies: Systematic and Unsystematic risk
25
Total Risk: Systematic + Unsystematic 25 CAPM Terminologies: Systematic and Unsystematic risk
26
Select from the following as cause for systematic and Unsystematic Risks : Inflation Announcement of a small oil strike by a company Government Tax Policy Recession Decision of management of the company to expand/ contract 26 CAPM Terminologies: Systematic and Unsystematic risk
27
AKA (Systematic or Unsystematic?) Diversifiable risk Asset specific risks Market risks Unique risk Controllable Idiosyncratic risk Uncontrollable Portfolio risk 27 CAPM Terminologies: Systematic and Unsystematic risk
28
Standard Deviation of Return Number of Stocks in the Portfolio Standard Deviation of the Market Portfolio (systematic risk) Systematic Risk Total Risk CAPM Terminologies: Systematic and Unsystematic risk Even a little diversification can substantially reduce variability. Unsystematic Risk can be reduced by diversification Market risk Unique risk
29
Expected Return on Individual security (using CAPM) The is the covariance between the return of a security and the market return divided by the variance of the market return. It is a stock’s sensitivity to changes in the value of the market portfolio 29
30
Expected Return on Individual security (using CAPM): If an investor wants to avoid risk altogether, he must invest in a portfolio consisting entirely of ………………………. such as …………………….. 30
31
Expected Return on Individual security (using CAPM): If an investor wants to avoid risk altogether, he must invest in a portfolio consisting entirely of risk free securities such as Government Debt If the investor holds only an undiversified portfolio of shares he will suffer unsystematic risk as well as systematic risk. If an investor holds a ‘balanced portfolio’ of all the stocks and shares on the stock market, he will suffer risk which is the same as the average systematic risk in the market. Individual shares will have risk characteristics which are different to this market average. Their risk will be determined by the industry sector and gearing. Some shares will be more risky and some less. 31
32
The market portfolio (remember, this is the portfolio of all the shares in the market weighted by capitalization) is taken to be the benchmark and is given a β factor of 1. All other shares or portfolios will have a β factor greater or smaller than 1 depending on their systematic risk which is measured by considering their required returns. If a share or portfolio has a β factor of 0.5 it will move in line with the market movements but only half as much. If the share or portfolio has a β factor of 2, it will again move in line with the market but twice as much. 32 Expected Return on Individual security (using CAPM)
33
If a stock has the same risk as the whole market portfolio then, B = …….. If asset is less risky than the whole market portfolio then Beta = ……… If asset is more risky than the whole market portfolio then Beta = …….. 33
34
Expected Return on Individual security (using CAPM) Shares classified by their betas are described by some writers as aggressive, defensive or Neutral b = 1, > 1, < 1 34
35
Shows the relationship between the return of a equity and the β of the equity Higher b means higher risk premium 35 Rf Rm SML Expected Return CAPM: The Security Market Line (SML)
36
Suppose Rf is 6 %, Rm is 10% and if = 1 then Return on equity (also, Cost of equity) = = 6% + 1 x (10% - 6%) = 10% Now suppose the is 0.5 then = 6% + 0.5 x (10% - 6%) = 8% Again if = 2 = 14% 36 CAPM: The Security Market Line (SML)
37
SML then will be 37 6% 10% SML Expected Return 8% 14%

43 Informational Efficiency - Efficient Markets Hypothesis (EMH) Fama (1970) - identified three classifications of efficiency:- Weak form - prices reflect all _ _ _ _information. Semi-strong form - prices reflect all past and _ _ _ _ _ _ _ publicly available information. Strong form - prices reflect all public AND _ _ _ _ _ _ _ information - may include privileged (_ _ _ _ _ _ ) information. Empirical evidence suggests all major stock markets are at least _ _ _ _ form efficient.
44
44 Efficient Markets Hypothesis (EMH) Implications of 3 forms An implication of weak form efficiency is that investors cannot out-predict the market when they predict returns using models based on _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ prices. An implication of semi-strong form efficiency is that when a public announcement is made which is relevant for a security, the price of that security should immediately _ _ _ _ to its equilibrium level. An implication of strong-form efficiency is that investors can _ _ _ earn extra returns, even when they use their own private information to forecast future returns and prices.

45 EMH - example Company X has 1 m shares and a market value of £3million. On 1/12/2013 it considers a project which will cost £2million and yield cash flows of £0.5million per year forever. The discount rate is 20%. On 4/12/2013 the board disclose details of the project to the market but do not mention additional redundancy costs of £0.4million. On 10/12/2013 all relevant information is released to the market.
46
46 Opening Share Price : = …………per share Semi-Strong form efficiency: 1/12/2013 : _ _ change as no info is made public. 4/12/2013 : NPV of project = ……………… Share Price = ……………. 10/12/13 : All information is made public. Share Price = ……………… EMH - example
47
47 Strong Form efficiency: Provided all financial implications were known on 1/12/2013 the share price would immediately go to …………. Final price is the same but speed of adjustment is quicker. EMH - example
