 ● In a well-diversified portfolio, the only risk that remains is
the systematic risk.

● This means the only risk that should matter to financial

markets is systematic risk.

● When financial markets evaluate the trade-off between

risk and expected return, they focus on the trade-off
between systematic risk and expected return.
SLIDESMANIA.COM
 ● Assets with higher levels of systematic risk should have higher
expected returns; assets with lower levels of systematic risk
should have lower levels of expected returns.

● From this perspective, we see that an asset’s total risk is

unimportant. What is important is how the asset affects the
risk of the overall portfolio.

● Combining risky assets with a zero-risk asset will lower the

overall systematic risk of the portfolio.

 CAPITAL ASSET
PRICING The CAPM states that the
MODEL expected return of an asset
depends upon its level of
systematic risk..
SLIDESMANIA.COM
 CAPM FORMULA
𝑅𝑖 = 𝑅𝑓 +𝛽 (𝑅𝑚 − 𝑅𝑓)

Where: 𝑅𝑖 = Expected Return

𝑅𝑓 = Risk-free rate
𝑅𝑚 = Market expected return
SLIDESMANIA.COM

𝛽 = Beta Coefficient
 CAPM FORMULA
𝑅𝑖 = 𝑅𝑓 +𝛽 (𝑅𝑚 −𝑅𝑓)

Market Risk Premium = (𝑅𝑚 −𝑅𝑓)

● It represents the extra expected return from investing in the
risky market portfolio rather than the risk-free asset.
● the slope of the security market line;
SLIDESMANIA.COM

Risk Premium = 𝛽 (𝑅𝑚 −𝑅𝑓)

 ● The asset’s systematic risk is
measured relative to that of the
market portfolio.
CAPITAL ASSET
PRICING ● Under the CAPM, beta (𝛽) is the
MODEL measure of an asset’s systematic
risk.

● It is important to note that beta is a

measure of relative risk and is not an
SLIDESMANIA.COM

absolute or total risk measure like

standard deviation.
 BETA
● Beta measures the volatility or variability of an asset’s returns relative to
the market portfolio.

○ Market Portfolio is the portfolio that contains all risky assets—all

stocks, bonds, real estate, and so on.
● The beta of the market portfolio, is 1.0. By definition, the market is exactly
as volatile as itself.
● Assets that are more volatile than the market, or equivalently, those that
have greater systematic risk than the market, have betas greater than 1.0.
● Assets that are less volatile than the market (that is, those with less
SLIDESMANIA.COM

systematic risk) have betas less than 1.0.

 EXAMPLE
Suppose a particular stock has a risk-free rate of 5%, a rate of return on
the market of 12% and a beta coefficient (quantity of risk) of 1.5. What
would be the investor’s required rate of return?

𝑅𝑖 = 𝑅𝑓 +𝛽 (𝑅𝑚 − 𝑅𝑓)
𝑅𝑖 = 5% + 1.5 (12%-5%)
𝑅𝑖 = 5% + 10%
𝑅𝑖 = 15.5%

 PORTFOLIO BETA
COEFFICIENT
● Portfolio beta coefficient can be computed as the weighted average of the individual
securities’ betas.

● The beta of the portfolio reflects how volatile the portfolio is in relation to the
market.

 Example
An investor decided to invest his P350,000 as follows:

Amount %Allocation Beta

Diversified Stocks P200,000 57.1% 1.00
Bonds 100,000 28.6% 0.18
Treasury Bills 50,000 14.3% 0.00
Total P350,000 100.0%

The portfolio beta coefficient is:

With a market return of 11% and a risk-free rate of 5%, an investor can expect a
SLIDESMANIA.COM

return of:
 Example
An investor decided to invest his P350,000 as follows:

Amount %Allocation Beta

Diversified Stocks P200,000 57.1% 1.00 = 0.57
Bonds 100,000 28.6% 0.18 = 0.05
Treasury Bills 50,000 14.3% 0.00 = 0.00
Total P350,000 100.0% 0.62

The portfolio beta coefficient is:

With a market return of 11% and a risk-free rate of 5%, an investor can expect a
SLIDESMANIA.COM

return of: 𝑅𝑖 = 5% + 0.62(11%-5%) = 8.72%

 Security Market Line (SML)
● The CAPM is expressed graphically
by the security market line (SML).

● The security market line

represents the linear relationship
between a security’s required rate
of return and its risks as
measured by beta.
