 a change in inflationary expectation resulting from events such as international


trade embargoes or major changes in Federal Reserve policy will result in the SML
 A given change in inflationary expectation will be fully reflected in a corresponding
change in the returns of all assets and will be reflected graphically in a parallel shift
of the SML
 The slope of the SML reflects the degree of risk aversion, the steeper its slope, the
greater the degree of risk aversion.
 The CAPM is based on an assumed efficient market in which there are many small
investors, each having the same information and expectations with respect to
securities, there are no restrictions on investments, o taxes, and no transactions
costs, and all investors are rational, view securities similarly, and are risk-averse,
preferring higher returns and lower risk.
 Changes in risk aversion, and therefore shifts in the SML, result from changing tastes
and preferences of investors, which generally result from various economic,
political, and social events.
 On average, during the 75 years, the return on small company stocks has exceeded
the return on large company stocks.
 On average, during the 75 years, the return on long- term corporate bonds has
exceeded the return on long-term government bonds.
 On average, during the 75 years, the return on U.S Treasury bills has exceeded the
inflation rate.
 On average, during the 75 years, the return on large company has exceeded on long-
term corporate bonds
 Coefficient of variation is a measure of relative depends that is useful in comparing
the risks of assets with different expected returns.
 Business risk is the chance that the firm will be unable to cover its operating costs
and is affected by a firm’s revenue stability and the structure of its operating costs
(fixed vs. variable)
 Interest rate risk is the chance that changes in interest rate will adversely affect the
value of an investment, most investments decline in value when the interest rates
rise and increase in value when interest rates fall.
 Market risk is the chance that the value of an investment will decline because of
market factors (such as economic, political, and social events) that are independent
of the investment.
 Event risk is the chance that a totally unexpected event will have a significant effect
on the value of the firm or a specific investment.
 The standard deviation of a portfolio is a function of the standard deviation of the
individual securities in the portfolio, the proportion of the portfolio invested in
those securities, and the correlation between the returns of those securities.
 The risk of a portfolio containing international stocks generally contains less
nondiversifiable risk than one that contains only American stocks.
 Total securities risk is the sum of a security’s nondiversifiable risk.
 The empirical measurement of beta can be approached by using least-square
regression analysis to find the regression coefficient (bi) in the equation for the
slope of the “characteristic line”
 Investors should recognize that betas are calculated using historical data and that
past performance relative to the market average may not accurately predict future
performance.
