3. 3 What Is An Investment? A current commitment of $ for a period of time in order to derive future payments that will compensate for: – The time the funds are committed – The expected rate of inflation – Uncertainty of future flow of funds 09/28/2015Copyright Rudd International

4. Reason for investing By investing (saving money now instead of spending it), you can trade off present consumption for a larger future consumption. 09/28/2015Copyright Rudd International4

5. Pure rate of interest Pure Rate of Interest – It is the exchange rate between future consumption (future dollars) and present consumption (current dollars). Market forces determine this rate. – Example: If you can exchange $100 today for $104 next year, this rate is 4% (104/100-1). 09/28/2015Copyright Rudd International5

6. Pure time value of money The fact that people are willing to pay more for the money borrowed and lenders desire to receive a surplus on their savings (money invested) gives rise to the value of time referred to as the pure time value of money. 09/28/2015Copyright Rudd International6

7. Other factors affecting value Inflation: If the future payment will be diminished in value because of inflation, then the investor will demand an interest rate higher than the pure time value of money to also cover the expected inflation expense. 09/28/2015Copyright Rudd International7

8. Other factors affecting value Uncertainty: If the future payment from the investment is not certain, the investor will demand an interest rate that exceeds the pure time value of money plus the inflation rate to provide a risk premium to cover the investment risk Pure Time Value of Money. 09/28/2015Copyright Rudd International8

9. Other factors affecting value Greater Fool Theory Sound Investing – Do not pay more for an investment than it is worth Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder….not value Copyright Rudd International909/28/2015

10. Required rate of return The minimum rate of return an investor require on an investment, including the pure rate of interest and all other risk premiums to compensate the investor for taking the investment risk. Investors may expect to receive a rate of return different from the required rate of return, which is called expected rate of return. What would occur if these two rates of returns are not the same? 09/28/2015Copyright Rudd International10

11. Valuation - Myths Valuation is objective A hard earned valuation is immune to the ravages of time Valuation is precise The more quantitative the better Valuation assumes markets are inefficient The end result, not the process, is key Copyright Rudd International1109/28/2015

12. Try 2 Out of 2,862 Funds 09/28/2015Copyright Rudd International12

13. 0 out of 2862 04/13/2015© Rudd International13 Who Routinely Trounces the Stock Market - Try 0 Out of 2862 Funds

14. 0 out of 2862 Not one of 2,862 stock funds were able to outperform their peers over five years If mutual fund managers had flipped coins, roughly three of them would have been expected to be in the top quartile for five consecutive years “A blindfolded monkey throwing darts at a newspaper’s financial pages could select a portfolio that would do just as well as one carefully selected by the experts,” Burton G. Malkiel, Princeton University finance professor 04/13/2015© Rudd International14

15. Add Insult to Injury As of Dec. 15, dozens of mutual funds paid out taxable gains to their shareholders As of Dec. 19, more than 79% of all funds had failed to beat their market benchmarks $2.6 billion Janus Forty Fund, generated a market-lagging return of 8.3%. 04/13/2015© Rudd International15

16. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) Index funds suffer from their emphasis on momentum over value Benchmark indexes tend to be capitalization weighted; the highest allocations go to the market’s largest companies Increased investment in index funds means even more money goes into those stocks Cheaper and more defensive stocks are ignored. The result is increased volatility, as ever-fewer stocks dominate market capitalization and trading volume. 04/13/2015© Rudd International16

17. Valuation – the role it plays Fundamental Analysis –true value of the firm. It is used in: Uncovering corporate value Portfolio Management Acquisitions Credit Applications Copyright Rudd International1709/28/2015

18. Valuation Three approaches: Discounted Cash Flow Relative valuation Contingent claims (options) Copyright Rudd International1809/28/2015

20. 20 Historical Rates of Return Return over A Holding Period Holding Period Return (HPR) Holding Period Yield (HPY) HPY = HPR - 1 Investment of Value Beginning Investment of Value Ending HPR  09/28/2015Copyright Rudd International

21. Annual HPR and HPY Annual HPR = HPR 1/n Annual HPY = HPR 1/n – 1 where n=number of years of the investment 09/28/2015Copyright Rudd International21

22. 22 Historical Rates of Return Example: Assume that you invest $200 at the beginning of the year and get back $220 at the end of the year. What are the HPR and the HPY for your investment? HPR=Ending value / Beginning value = $220/200 = 1.1 HPY=HPR-1=1.1-1= 0.1 =10% 09/28/2015Copyright Rudd International

23. 23 Historical Rates of Return Example: Your investment of $250 in Stock A is worth $350 in two years while the investment of $100 in Stock B is worth $120 in six months. What are the annual HPRs and the HPYs on these two stocks? Stock A Annual HPR=HPR 1/n = ($350/$250) 1/2 =1.1832 Annual HPY=Annual HPR-1=1.1832-1=18.32% 09/28/2015Copyright Rudd International

24. Historical Rates of Return Stock B –Annual HPR=HPR 1/n = ($120/$100) 1/0.5 = 1.44 –Annual HPY=Annual HPR-1=1 44-1 = 44% 09/28/2015Copyright Rudd International24 Example: Your investment of $250 in Stock A is worth $350 in two years while the investment of $100 in Stock B is worth $120 in six months. What are the annual HPRs and the HPYs on these two stocks?

25. 25 Historical Rates of Return Computing Mean Historical Returns Suppose you have a set of annual rates of return (HPYs or HPRs) for an investment. How do you measure the mean annual return? – Arithmetic Mean Return (AM) AM=  HPY / n where  HPY=the sum of all the annual HPYs n=number of years – Geometric Mean Return (GM) GM= [  HPY] 1/n -1 where  HPR=the product of all the annual HPRs n=number of years 09/28/2015Copyright Rudd International

26. 26 Historical Rates of Return Suppose you invested $100 three years ago and it is worth $110.40 today. The information below shows the annual ending values and HPR and HPY. This example illustrates the computation of the AM and the GM over a three-year period for an investment. Year Begin Value Ending ValueHPR HPY 1 100 115.0 1.15 0.15 2 115 138.0 1.20 0.20 3 138 110.4 0.80 -0.20 09/28/2015Copyright Rudd International

27. 27 Historical Rates of Return AM=[(0.15)+(0.20)+(-0.20)] / 3 = 0.15/3=5% GM=[(1.15) x (1.20) x (0.80)] 1/3 – 1 =(1.104) 1/3 -1=1.03353 -1 =3.353% 09/28/2015Copyright Rudd International

28. Comparison of AM and GM When rates of return are the same for all years, the AM and the GM will be equal. When rates of return are not the same for all years, the AM will always be higher than the GM. While the AM is best used as an “expected value” for an individual year, while the GM is the best measure of an asset’s long-term performance. 09/28/2015Copyright Rudd International28

29. Holding Period Return Ending value divided by beginning value $220/$200 HPR = 1.10 Annual HPR = HPR 1/n Assume 6 months 1.10 2 = 1.21 or 21% Copyright Rudd International2909/28/2015

30. Holding Period Yield Holding period yield – HPR – 1 HPR = 1.10 HPY = 1.10 – 1 =.10 or 10 percent Copyright Rudd International3009/28/2015

31. Arithmetic and Geometric Mean Arithmetic Mean - generally referred as an average. Add up all the numbers and divide Geometric Mean - nth root of all the holding period returns multiplied Copyright Rudd International3109/28/2015

32. Arithmetic Mean vs Geometric YearBeg End HPR HPY 1 $50 $1002.00 1.00 or 100% 2 $100 $500.50 -0.50 or -50% AM = 1.00 + (-0.50) / 2 =.25 or 25% GM = [(2.00) * (0.50)] 1/2 - 1 = 1-1 = 0 Copyright Rudd International3209/28/2015

33. CAGR Compound Annual Growth Rate – CAGR The year-over-year growth rate of an investment over a specified period of time. The compound annual growth rate is calculated by taking the nth root of the total percentage growth rate, where n is the number of years in the period being considered. Copyright Rudd International3309/28/2015

34. CAGR Copyright Rudd International3409/28/2015

35. Valuation Discounted Cash Flow The foundation of most approaches to valuation Based on the concept of present value Copyright Rudd International3509/28/2015

36. Valuation – Present Value Present Value - an amount today that is equivalent to a future payment, or series of payments, that has been discounted by an appropriate interest rate. Copyright Rudd International3609/28/2015

37. Valuation – Present Value cont. Money has time value – Therefore, the present value of a promised future payment is worth less the longer you have to wait to receive it. The difference depends on the time periods for compounding and the interest or discount rate. Copyright Rudd International3709/28/2015

38. Valuation – Present Value cont. The relationship between the present value and future value can be expressed as: PV = FV/(1 + i) n PV = present value FV = future value i = interest rate per period n = number of periods Copyright Rudd International3809/28/2015

39. Valuation – Present Value cont. For example, someone contracts to pay you $100 in one year. What is it worth right now? Assume the going interest rate is 5% Copyright Rudd International3909/28/2015

40. Valuation – Present Value cont. PV = FV/(1 + i) n PV = $100/(1.05) 1 = $95.23 Copyright Rudd International4009/28/2015

41. Valuation – Present Value cont. Now assume someone contracts to pay you $100 in ten years. What is it worth today? The going interest rate is still 5% Copyright Rudd International4109/28/2015

42. Valuation – Present Value cont. PV = FV/(1 + i) n PV = $100/(1.05) 10 = 100/1.62889 = $61.39 Copyright Rudd International4209/28/2015

43. Valuation – Present Value cont. The previous examples assume interest is paid once a year at the end of the year. Now Suppose interest is paid more than once a year Copyright Rudd International4309/28/2015

44. Valuation – Present Value cont. At interest compounded q times a year: PV = FV/(1 + r/q) nq Or in the same example but compounding monthly (q = 12) P = 100,000/(1 + 0.05/12) 120 = 100,000/1.64701 = 60716 Copyright Rudd International4409/28/2015

45. Valuation – Present Value cont. For example, if interest is compounded monthly: q = 12 PV = FV/(1 + r/q) nq P = $100,000/(1 + 0.05/12) 120 = $100,000/1.64701 = $60,716 Copyright Rudd International4509/28/2015

46. Valuation – Present Value cont. Up until now we have discussed a single payment with a single interest rate payable after a set period of time. Next consider multiple payments For example a payment after one year A payment after the second year A payment after the nth year Copyright Rudd International4609/28/2015

47. Valuation – Present Value cont. Present value over multiple periods PV= Copyright Rudd International4709/28/2015

48. Valuation – Relative Valuation Majority of Valuations are relative in nature Example – Using an industry standard P/E ratio to value a firm Assumes market reliability Individual stocks are valued incorrectly Copyright Rudd International4809/28/2015
