Capital Market Theory An Overview

  • Capital market theory extends portfolio theory

and develops a model for pricing all risky assets

  • Capital asset pricing model (CAPM) will allow you

    Assumptions of Capital Market Theory

    • All investments are infinitely divisible, which
    • means that it is possible to buy or sell

      fractional shares of any asset or portfolio.

    • There are no taxes or transaction costs involved

      in buying or selling assets.

    • There is no inflation or any change in interest

      rates, or inflation is fully anticipated.

    • Capital markets are in equilibrium that is, we

      begin with all investments properly priced in

      line with their risk levels.

    • Assumptions of Capital Market Theory

      • Some of these assumptions are unrealistic
      • Relaxing many of these assumptions would have

      only minor influence on the model and would not

      change its main implications or conclusions.

    • Judge a theory on how well it explains and helps

      predict behavior, not on its assumptions.

    • Riskfree Asset

      • Provides the risk-free rate of return (RFR)
      • An asset with zero variance and standard

      deviation

    • Zero correlation with all other risky assets
    • Covariance between two sets of returns is
    • Will lie on the vertical axis of a portfolio graph
    • Combining a Riskfree Asset with a Risky Portfolio

      • Expected return
      • The expected variance for a two-asset portfolio
      • Because the variance of the riskfree asset is

      zero and the correlation between the riskfree

      asset and any risky asset i is zero, this

      simplifies to

      Combining a Risk-Free Asset with a Risky

      Portfolio

      • Given the variance formula
      • The standard deviation is
      • Therefore, the standard deviation of a portfolio

      that combines the riskfree asset with risky

      assets is the linear proportion of the standard

      deviation of the risky asset portfolio.

      Risk-Return Possibilities with Leverage

      • To attain a higher expected return than is

      available at point M (in exchange for accepting

      higher risk)

    • Either invest along the efficient frontier beyond

      point M, such as point D

    • Or, add leverage to the portfolio by borrowing

      money at the riskfree rate and investing in the

      risky portfolio at point M

    • The Market Portfolio

      • Because portfolio M lies at the point of

      tangency, it has the highest portfolio

      possibility line

    • Everybody will want to invest in Portfolio M and

      borrow or lend to be somewhere on the CML

    • Therefore, this portfolio must include ALL RISKY

      ASSETS

    • Since the market is in equilibrium, all assets

      are included in this portfolio in proportion to

      their market value.

    • Since it contains all risky assets, it is a

      that all the unique risk of individual assets

      (unsystematic risk) is diversified away.

    • Systematic Risk

      • Only systematic risk remains in the market

      portfolio

    • Systematic risk is the variability in all risky

      assets caused by macroeconomic variables

    • Systematic risk can be measured by the standard

      deviation of returns of the market portfolio and

      can change over time

    • Factors Affecting Systematic Risk

      • Variability in growth of money supply
      • Interest rate volatility
      • Variability in

      How to Measure Diversification

      • All portfolios on the CML are perfectly

      positively correlated with each other and with

      the completely diversified market Portfolio M

    • A completely diversified portfolio would have a

      correlation with the market portfolio of 1.00

    • Diversification and the Elimination of

      Unsystematic Risk

      • The purpose of diversification is to reduce the

      standard deviation of the total portfolio

    • This assumes that imperfect correlations exist

      among securities

    • As you add securities, you expect the average

      covariance for the portfolio to decline

    • How many securities must you add to obtain a

      completely diversified portfolio?

    • Observe what happens as you increase the sample

      The CML and the Separation Theorem

      • The CML leads all investors to invest in the M

        portfolio

      • Individual investors should differ in position on

        the CML depending on risk preferences

      • How an investor gets to a point on the CML is

        based on financing decisions

      • Risk averse investors will lend part of the

        portfolio at the riskfree rate and invest the

        remainder in the market portfolio

      • The CML and the Separation Theorem

        • Investors preferring more risk might borrow funds

        at the RFR and invest everything in the market

        portfolio

      • The decision of both investors is to invest in

        portfolio M along the CML

      • The decision to borrow or lend to obtain a point

        on the CML is a separate decision based on risk

        Variance of Returns for a Risky Asset

        Note Var(biRMi) is variance related to market

        return Var(e) is the residual return not

        The Capital Asset Pricing Model Expected Return

        and Risk

        • The existence of a riskfree asset resulted in

          deriving a capital market line (CML) that became

          the relevant frontier

        • An assets covariance with the market portfolio

          is the relevant risk measure

        • This can be used to determine an appropriate

          expected rate of return on a risky asset — the

          Determining the Expected Rate of Return for a

          Risky Asset

          • The expected rate of return of a risky asset is

            determined by the RFR plus a risk premium for the

            individual asset

          • The risk premium is determined by the systematic

            risk of the asset (beta) and the prevailing

            market risk premium (RM-RFR)

          • Identifying Undervalued and Overvalued Assets

            • Compare the required rate of return to the

            expected rate of return for a specific risky

            during period t RM,t the rate of return for the

            market portfolio M during t

            e the random error term

            The Impact of the Time Interval

            • Number of observations and time interval used in

            regression vary

          • Value Line Investment Services (VL) uses weekly

            rates of return over five years

          • Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner Smith (ML) uses

            monthly return over five years

          • Weak relationship between VL ML betas due to

            difference in intervals used

          • There is no correct interval for analysis
          • Interval effect impacts smaller firms more
          • The Effect of the Market Proxy

            • Choice of market proxy is crucial
            • Proper measure must include all risky assets
            • Standard Poors 500 Composite Index is most

            often used

          • Large proportion of the total market value of

            U.S. stocks

          • Value weighted series
          • Weaknesses
          • Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT)

            • CAPM is criticized because of the difficulties in

            selecting a proxy for the market portfolio as a

            benchmark

          • An alternative pricing theory with fewer

            assumptions was developed

          • Arbitrage Pricing Theory
          • Assumptions of Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT)

            • Capital markets are perfectly competitive
            • Investors always prefer more wealth to less

            wealth with certainty

          • The stochastic process generating asset returns

            can be presented as K factor model

          • Assumptions of CAPMThat Were Not Required by APT

            • APT does not assume
            • A market portfolio that contains all risky

            assets, and is mean-variance efficient

          • Normally distributed security returns
          • Quadratic utility function
          • Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT)

            • For i 1 to N where
            • Ri return on asset i during a specified time

            period

          • Ei expected return for asset i
          • bik reaction in asset is returns to movements

            in a common

          • factor
          • dk a common factor with a zero mean that

            influences the

          • returns on all assets
          • ei a unique effect on asset is return that, by

            assumption, is

          • completely diversifiable in large

            portfolios and has a

          • mean of zero
          • N number of assets
          • Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT)

            • Multiple factors, dk, expected to have an impact

            on all assets

          • Inflation
          • Growth in GNP
          • Major political upheavals
          • Changes in interest rates
          • And many more.
          • Contrast with CAPMs insistence that only beta is

            Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT)

            • Bik determine how each asset reacts to this

              common factor

            • Each asset may be affected by growth in GNP, but

              premium and asset i

            • Example of Two Stocks and a Two-Factor Model

              • l1 changes in the rate of inflation. The risk

              premium

            • related to this factor is 1 for every

              1 change in the

            • rate (l1 0.1)
            • l2 percent growth in real GNP. The average

              risk premium

            • related to this factor is 2 for every 1

              change in the

            • rate (l2 0.02)
            • l3 the rate of return on a zero-systematic-risk

              asset (zero

            • beta boj 0) is 3 (l3 0.03)
            • Example of Two Stocks and a Two-Factor Model

              • bx1 the response of asset X to changes in the
              • rate of inflation is 0.50 (bx1 0.50)
              • by1 the response of asset Y to changes in the
              • rate of inflation is 2.00 (by1 2.00)
              • bx2 the response of asset X to changes in the
              • growth rate of real GNP is 1.50 (bx2

              1.50)

            • by2 the response of asset Y to changes in the
            • growth rate of real GNP is 1.75 (by2

              1.75)

            • Example of Two Stocks and a Two-Factor Model

              • .03 (.01)bi1 (.02)bi2
              • Ex .03 (.01)(0.50) (.02)(1.50)
              • .065 6.5
              • Ey .03 (.01)(2.00) (.02)(1.75)
              • .085 8.5

              Empirical Tests of the APT

              • Studies by Roll and Ross and by Chen support APT

              by explaining different rates of return with some

              better results than CAPM

            • Reinganums study did not explain small-firm

              results

            • Dhrymes and Shanken question the usefulness of

              APT because it was not possible to identify the

              factors

            • Summary

              • When you combine the riskfree asset with any

              risky asset on the Markowitz efficient frontier,

              you derive a set of straight-line portfolio

              possibilities

            • The dominant line is tangent to the efficient

              frontier

            • Referred to as the capital market line (CML)
            • All investors should target points along this

              line depending on their risk preferences

            • Summary

              • All investors want to invest in the risky

              portfolio, so this market portfolio must contain

              all risky assets

            • The investment decision and financing decision

              can be separated

            • Everyone wants to invest in the market portfolio
            • Investors finance based on risk preferences
            • Summary

              • The relevant risk measure for an individual risky

              asset is its systematic risk or covariance with

              required return on a security based on its
