Learning Objectives
• Identify which types of securities have historically

had the highest returns and which have been the
most volatile
• Compute the average return and volatility of
returns from a set of historical asset prices
• Understand the tradeoff between risk and return
for large portfolios versus individual stocks
• Describe the difference between common and
independent risk
• Explain how diversified portfolios remove
independent risk, leaving common risk as the only
risk requiring a risk premium
11-3
11.1 A First Look at Risk and Return
• Consider how an investment would have

grown if it were invested in each of the
following from the end of 1929 until the
beginning of 2012:
– Standard & Poor’s 500 (S&P 500)
– Small Stocks
– World Portfolio
– Corporate Bonds
– Treasury Bills

11.2 Historical Risks and Returns of
Stocks
• Computing Historical Returns

– Realized Returns
– Individual Investment Realized Returns
• The realized return from your investment in the stock
from t to t+1 is:
Divt 1  Pt 1  Pt Divt 1 Pt 1  Pt (Eq. 11.1)

Rt 1   
Pt Pt Pt
 Dividend Yield  Capital Gain Yield
11-7
Example 11.1 Realized Return
Problem:
• Microsoft paid a one-time special dividend of $3.08 on
November 15, 2004. Suppose you bought Microsoft stock for
$28.08 on November 1, 2004 and sold it immediately after
the dividend was paid for $27.39. What was your realized
return from holding the stock?
11-8
4
Solution:
Plan:
• We can use Eq 11.1 to calculate the realized return. We need
the purchase price ($28.08), the selling price ($27.39), and
the dividend ($3.08) and we are ready to proceed.
11-9
Execute:
• Using Eq. 11.1, the return from Nov 1, 2004 until Nov 15,
2004 is equal to
Divt 1  Pt 1  Pt 3.08  (27.39  28.08)

Rt 1    0.0851, or 8.51%
Pt 28.08
• This 8.51% can be broken down into the dividend yield and
the capital gain yield:
Divt 1 3.08
Dividend Yield =   .1097, or 10.97%
Pt 28.08
Pt 1  Pt  27.39  28.08 
Capital Gain Yield =    0.0246, or  2.46%
Pt 28.08
11-10

Evaluate:
• These returns include both the capital gain (or in
this case a capital loss) and the return generated
from receiving dividends. Both dividends and
capital gains contribute to the total realized
return—ignoring either one would give a very
misleading impression of Microsoft’s performance.
11-11

Example 11.1a Realized Return
Problem:
• Health Management Associates (HMA) paid a one-time special
dividend of $10.00 on March 2, 2007. Suppose you bought
HMA stock for $20.33 on February 15, 2007 and sold it
immediately after the dividend was paid for $10.29. What
was your realized return from holding the stock?
11-12

Solution:
Plan:
11-13
13
Execute:
• Using Eq. 11.1, the return from February 15, 2007 until
March 2, 2007 is equal to
Div t1  Pt 1  Pt 10.00  10.29  20.33

R t 1    0.002, or  0.2%
Pt 20.33
• This -0.2% can be broken down into the dividend yield and
Divt 1 10.00
Dividend Yield    0.4919, or 49.19%
Pt 20.33
Pt 1  Pt 10.29  20.33
Capital GainYield    0.4939, or  49.39%
Pt 20.33

Evaluate:
• These returns include both the capital gain (or in this case a
capital loss) and the return generated from receiving
dividends. Both dividends and capital gains contribute to the
total realized return—ignoring either one would give a very
misleading impression of HMA’s performance.

Example 11.1b Realized Return
Problem:
• Limited Brands paid a one-time special dividend of $3.00 on
December 21, 2010. Suppose you bought LTD stock for
$29.35 on October 18, 2010 and sold it immediately after the
dividend was paid for $30.16. What was your realized return
from holding the stock?
11-16

Solution:
Plan:
11-17
17
Execute:
• Using Eq. 11.1, the return from October 18, 2010 until
December 21, 2010 is equal to
Divt 1  Pt 1  Pt 3.00  30.16  29.35

Rt 1    0.1298, or 0.12.98%
Pt 29.35
• This 12.98% can be broken down into the dividend yield and
Divt 1 3.00
Dividend Yield    0.1022, or10.22%
Pt 29.35
Pt 1  Pt 30.16  29.35

Evaluate:
• These returns include both the capital gain (or in this case a
capital loss) and the return generated from receiving
dividends. Both dividends and capital gains contribute to the

Stocks
• Computing Historical Returns

– Individual Investment Realized Returns
• For quarterly returns (or any four compounding periods
that make up an entire year) the annual realized
return, Rannual, is found by compounding:
1  Rannual  (1  R1 )(1  R2 )(1  R3 )(1  R4 ) (Eq. 11.2)
11-20

Example 11.2 Compounding Realized
Returns
Problem:
• Suppose you purchased Microsoft stock (MSFT) on Nov 1,
2004 and held it for one year, selling on Oct 31, 2005. What
was your annual realized return?
11-21
21

Returns
Solution:
Plan:
• We need to analyze the cash flows from holding MSFT stock
for each quarter. In order to get the cash flows, we must look
up MSFT stock price data at the purchase date and selling
date, as well as at any dividend dates. From the data we can
construct the following table to fill out our cash flow
timeline:
11-22
22
11
Returns
Plan (cont’d):
• Next, compute the realized return between each set of dates

using Eq. 11.1. Then determine the annual realized return
similarly to Eq. 11.2 by compounding the returns for all of the
periods in the year.
11-23
23

Returns
Execute:
• In Example 11.1, we already computed the realized return for
Nov 1, 2004 to Nov 15, 2004 as 8.51%. We continue as in
that example, using Eq. 11.1 for each period until we have a
series of realized returns. For example, from Nov 15, 2004 to
Feb 15, 2005, the realized return is
Divt 1  Pt 1  Pt 0.08  (25.93  27.39)

Rt 1    0.0504, or  5.04%

Execute (cont’d):
• We then determine the one-year return by compounding.
1  Rannual  (1  R1 )(1  R2 )(1  R3 )(1  R4 ) 1  R5 

1  Rannual  (1.0851)(0.9496)(0.9861)(1.0675)(0.9473)  1.0275
Rannual  1.0275  1  .0275 or 2.75%
11-26

13
Returns
Evaluate:
• By repeating these steps, we have successfully computed the
realized annual returns for an investor holding MSFT stock
over this one-year period. From this exercise we can see that
returns are risky. MSFT fluctuated up and down over the year
and ended-up only slightly (2.75%) at the end.

Realized Returns
Solution:
Plan:
• We need to analyze the cash flows from holding HMA stock

Solution:
Plan:
• With the five returns, compute the average return

using Eq. 11.3 because it is an input to the

Execute:
• In the previous section we already computed the average
annual return of the S&P 500 during this period as 3.1%, so
we have all of the necessary inputs for the variance

• Alternatively, we can break the calculation of this equation
out as follows:
• Summing the squared differences in the last row, we get

0.233.
• Finally, dividing by (5-1=4) gives us 0.233/4 =0.058

Example 11.4 Confidence Intervals
Problem:
• In Example 11.3 we found the average return for the S&P
500 from 2005-2009 to be 3.1% with a standard deviation of
24.1%. What is a 95% confidence interval for 2010’s return?
11-65
65
Solution:
Plan:
• We can use Eq. 11.6 to compute the confidence interval.
11-66
66
33
Execute:
• Using Eq. 11.6, we have:
• Average ± (2  standard deviation) = 3.1% – (2  24.1%) to
3.1% + (2  24.1% )
= –45.1% to 51.3%.
11-67
67
Evaluate:
• Even though the average return from 2005 to 2009 was
3.1%, the S&P 500 was volatile, so if we want to be 95%
confident of 2010’s return, the best we can say is that it will

Example 11.4a Confidence Intervals
Problem:
• The average return for small stocks from 2005-2009 was
1.71% with a standard deviation of 24.8%. What is a 95%
confidence interval for 2010’s return?
11-69
69
Solution:
Plan:
• We can use Eq. 11.6 to calculate the confidence interval.

Execute:
Average  2  standard deviation  1.71%  (2  24.8%) to1.71%  (2  24.8%)

 47.89% to 50.77%
11-71
71
Evaluate:
• Even though the average return from 2005-2009 was 1.71%,
small stocks were volatile, so if we want to be 95% confident
of 2010’s return, the best we can say is that it will lie
between -47.89% and +50.77%.

Example 11.4b Confidence Intervals
Problem:
• The average return for corporate bonds from 2005-2009 was
6.49% with a standard deviation of 7.04%. What is a 95%
confidence interval for 2010’s return?
11-73

Solution:
Plan:
• We can use Eq. 11.6 to calculate the confidence interval.

Average  2  standard deviation  6.49%  (2  7.04%) to 6.49%  (2  7.04%)

 7.59% to 20.57%
11-75
75
Evaluate:
• Even though the average return from 2005-2009 was 6.49%,
corporate bonds were volatile, so if we want to be 95%
confident of 2010’s return, the best we can say is that it will
lie between -7.59% and +20.57%.

11.3 Historical Tradeoff between

Risk and Return
• The Returns of Individual Stocks

– Larger stocks have lower volatility overall
– Even the largest stocks are typically more
volatile than a portfolio of large stocks
– The standard deviation of an individual security
doesn’t explain the size of its average return
– All individual stocks have lower returns and/or
higher risk than the portfolios in Figure 11.6

Example 11.5 Diversification
Problem:
• You are playing a very simple gambling game with your
friend: a $1 bet based on a coin flip. That is, you each bet $1
and flip a coin: heads you win your friend’s $1, tails you lose
and your friend takes your dollar. How is your risk different if
you play this game 100 times in a row versus just betting
$100 (instead of $1) on a single coin flip?
11-83
83
Solution:
Plan:
• The risk of losing one coin flip is independent of the risk of
losing the next one: each time you have a 50% chance of
losing, and one coin flip does not affect any other coin flip.
We can compute the expected outcome of any flip as a
weighted average by weighting your possible winnings (+$1)
by 50% and your possible losses (-$1) by 50%. We can then
compute the probability of losing all $100 under either
scenario.
11-84
84
42
Execute:
• If you play the game 100 times, you should lose about 50
times and win 50 times, so your expected outcome is 50 
(+$1) + 50  (-$1) = $0. You should break-even. Even if you
don’t win exactly half of the time, the probability that you
would lose all 100 coin flips (and thus lose $100) is
exceedingly small (in fact, far less than even 0.0001%). If it
happens, you should take a very careful look at the coin!
11-85
85
Execute (cont’d):
• If instead, you make a single $100 bet on the outcome of one
coin flip, you have a 50% chance of winning $100 and a 50%
chance of losing $100, so your expected outcome will be the
same: break-even. However, there is a 50% chance you will
lose $100, so your risk is far greater than it would be for 100
one dollar bets.
11-86
86
43
Evaluate:
• In each case, you put $100 at risk, but by spreading-out that
risk across 100 different bets, you have diversified much of
your risk away compared to placing a single $100 bet.
11-87
87
Example 11.5a Diversification
Problem:
• You are playing a very simple gambling game with your
friend: a $1 bet based on a roll of two six-sided dice. That is,
you each bet $1 and roll the dice: if the outcome is even you
win your friend’s $1, if the outcome is odd you lose and your
friend takes your dollar. How is your risk different if you play
this game 100 times in a row versus just betting $100
(instead of $1) on a roll of the dice?
11-88

Solution:

• The risk of losing one dice roll is independent of the risk of
losing the next one: each time you have a 50% chance of
losing, and one roll of the dice does not affect any other roll.
We can compute the expected outcome of any roll as a
weighted average by weighting your possible winnings (+$1)

outcome is 50  (+$1) + 50  (-$1) = $0. You should break-
even. Even if you don’t win exactly half of the time, the
probability that you would lose all 100 dice rolls (and thus
lose $100) is exceedingly small (in fact, it is 0.50100, which
is far less than even 0.0001%). If it happens, you should
take a very careful look at the dice!

1. Company or Industry-Specific News
2. Market-Wide News
– Unsystematic Risk
– Systematic Risk
