What are investment returns?
Investment returns measure financial results
of an investment.
Returns may be historical or prospective
(anticipated).
Returns can be expressed in:
(P) Peso terms.
(%) percentage terms.

Basic Formula for Return
Fixed Returns
Lesser risk since the return is fixed
. An investment costs P1,000 and is
sold after 1 year for P1,100
Peso return:
Received - Invested
P1,100 - P1,000 = P100
Percentage return:
Return/Invested
P100/P1,000 = 0.10 = 10%

Variable Income (series of
time)
Return is computed by getting the
average return

Risk Aversion and Risk
Premium
Risk Aversion – the higher the risk the
higher the return.
b. Market Risk
Quantified by Beta & used in
CAPM: Capital Asset Pricing Model
Relationship b/w market risk &
required return as depicted in SML
Req’d return =
Risk-free return + Mrkt risk Prem(Beta)
SML: ri = rRF + (RM - rRF )bi
Stand-alone risk = Market risk
+ Diversifiable risk
Market risk is that part of a security’s
stand-alone risk that cannot be
eliminated by diversification.
Firm-specific, or diversifiable, risk is that
part of a security’s stand-alone risk that
can be eliminated by diversification.

Conclusions
As more stocks are added, each new stock
has a smaller risk-reducing impact on the
portfolio.
By forming well-diversified portfolios,
investors can eliminate about half the risk of
owning a single stock.
