CHAPTER TWO
RISK AND RETURN
1
Concept of Return and Risk
• Investment return and risk are fundamental to
understanding market behavior. The entire
scenario of security analysis is built on two
concepts; Risk & return.
• The risk and return constitute the framework for
taking investment decision.
• There are different motives for investment.
– The most prominent among all is to earn a return on investment.
2
1. Return
• The return is the basic motivating force and the principal
reward in the investment process.
• The return may be defined in terms of
–(i) Realized return, i.e., the return which has been earned,
The realized returns in the past allow an investor to estimate
cash inflows in terms of dividends, interest, bonus, capital
gains, etc, available to the holder of the investment. and
–(ii) Expected return, i.e., the return which the investor
anticipates to earn over some future investment period. The
expected return is a predicted or estimated return and may
or may not occur.
3
2. Risk:
• Risk in investment analysis means that future returns
from an investment are unpredictable. The concept of
risk may be defined as the possibility that the actual
return may not be same as expected. In other words,
risk refers to the chance that the actual outcome (return)
from an investment will differ from an expected
outcome.
• Investments having greater chances of variations are
considered more risky than those with lesser chances of
variations.
4
Types of Risk:
1. Systematic Risk/ Non-diversifiable risk
–It refers to that portion of variability in return which is
caused by the factors affecting all the firms.
–It refers to fluctuation in return due to general factors
in the market such as money supply, inflation,
economic recessions, interest rate policy of the
government, political factors, credit policy, tax reforms,
etc. these are the factors which affect almost all firms.
–The systematic risk is also called the general risk.
5
Types of Systematic Risk:
a) Market risk: The market risk refers to variability in return
due to change in market price of investment. There are
different social, economic, political and firm specific events
which affect the market price of equity shares.
b) Interest Rate Risk: The interest rate risk refers to the
variability in return caused by the change in level of interest
rates.
c) Purchasing-Power Risk/ Inflation Risk: The inflation risk
refers to the uncertainty of purchasing power of cash flows
to be received out of investment.
6
2. Unsystematic Risk/ diversifiable risk
• The unsystematic risk represents the fluctuation in return from
an investment due to factors which are specific to the particular
firm and not the market as a whole.
• These factors are largely independent of the factors affecting
market in general.
• Since these factors are unique to a particular firm, these must
be examined separately for each firm and for each industry.
• These factors may also be called firm-specific as these affect
one firm without affecting the other firms.
7
Types of Unsystematic Risk:
1) Business Risk: Business risk refers to the variability in
incomes of the firms and expected dividend there from,
resulting from the operating condition in which the firms have
to operate.
2) Financial Risk: Refers to how a firm finances its activities.
Investors will look at the firm’s capital structure. It refers to the
degree of leverage or degree of debt financing used by a firm
in the capital structure.
3) Operational risk: Operational risks are the business process
risks failing due to human errors. This risk will change from
industry to industry. It occurs due to breakdowns in the internal
procedures, people, policies and systems. 8
The operational risk is further classified into following
types.
a) Model risk: Model risk is the risk involved in using
various models to value financial securities.
b) People risk: arises when people do not follow the
organization’s procedures, practices and/or rules.
c) Legal risk: arises when parties are not lawfully
competent to enter an agreement among them.
d) Political risk: is the risk that occurs due to changes
in government policies. Such changes may have an
unfavorable impact on an investor.
9
Causes of Risk:
A number of factors which can cause risk in an investment arena
include the following:
–Wrong method of investment
–Wrong timing of investment
–Wrong quantity of investment
–Interest rate risk
–Nature of investment instrument
–Nature of industry in which the company is operating
–Maturity period (length of investment)
–Terms of lending
–National and international factors 10
Risk and Expected Return
Risk and expected return are the two key determinants
of an investment decision.
Risk, in simple terms, is associated with the variability of
the rates of return from an investment; how much do
individual outcomes deviate from the expected value?
Another major factor determining the investment
decision is the rate of return expected by the investor.
The rate of return expected by the investor consists of
the yield and capital appreciation.
11
Determinants of the Rate of Return
The three major determinants of the rate of return
expected by the investor are:
1. The time preference risk-free real rate
2. The expected rate of inflation
3. The risk associated with the investment, which is
unique to the investment.
Hence,
Required return = Risk-free real rate + Inflation premium + Risk premium
12
The rate of return from an investment consists of the yield and capital
appreciation:
𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 (𝐑 ) =
𝐈𝐭 + [𝐏𝐭 − 𝐏𝐭−𝟏]
𝐏𝐭−𝟏
Where Rt = Rate of return per time period 't'
It = Income for the period ’t’
Pt = Price at the end of time period ’t’
Pt-1 = Initial price, i.e., price at the beginning of the period ’t’
𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐑 =
𝐈𝐭
𝐏𝐭−𝟏
+
𝐏𝐭 − 𝐏𝐭−𝟏
𝐏𝐭−𝟏
Current yield + Capital gain yield
13
Example:
The following information is given for a corporate bond. Price of
the bond at the beginning of the year: Br. 90, Price of the bond at
the end of the year: Br. 95.40, Interest received for the year: Br.
13.50. Compute the rate of return.
Solution:
The rate of return can be computed as follows:
Rate of return R =
𝟏𝟑. 𝟓 + 𝟗𝟓. 𝟒𝟎 − 𝟗𝟎
𝟗𝟎
= 𝟎. 𝟐𝟏𝐨𝐫 𝟐𝟏 % 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐦
The return of 21% consists of:
15% current yield and 6% capital gain yield. 14
Example 2:
The average market prices and dividend per share of Blue Ltd.
for the past 6 years are given below:
Required: Calculate the average rate of return for past 6 years.

2007 68 11.48 3.0 4.92 16.4
16
Solution:
R = 1/5 (23.68+23.33-1.89+27.2+16.40)
= 1/5(88.72) = 17.75 %
Risk measurement
• A useful measure of risk should somehow take into account
both the probability of various possible "bad" outcomes and
their associated magnitudes.
• Instead of measuring the probability of a number of different
possible outcomes, the measure of risk should somehow
estimate the extent to which the actual outcome is likely to
diverge from the expected.
• For this purpose, range, variance, standard deviation and
coefficient of Variation can be used to measure the risk.
17
Example:
• The rate of return of equity shares of Wipro Ltd., for past six
years are given below:
Required:
Calculate the average rate of return, variance and standard deviation.

Coefficient of Variation
• Standard Deviation is an absolute measure.
• It is not suitable for comparison, particularly when investment
proposals involve different capital outlay or different monetary
values of probable cash inflows.
• For comparison in such cases, coefficient of variation
approach is the best measure.
• This realization is responsible for the emergence of coefficient
of variation approach in capital risk analysis.
27
𝐂𝐨𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 =
𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧
• Assume you reached at the result of mean of company A and
B, were Br 30,000 and Br 35,000 respectively, and Standard
deviation of 17,078 and 25,000 respectively, determine
Coefficient of variation:
Answer:
𝐂𝐨𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐀) =
𝐁𝐫 𝟏𝟕, 𝟎𝟕𝟖
𝟑𝟎, 𝟎𝟎𝟎
𝒙 𝟏𝟎𝟎 = 𝟓𝟔. 𝟗𝟑 %
𝐂𝐨𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐁 =
𝐁𝐫 𝟐𝟓, 𝟎𝟎𝟎
𝟑𝟓, 𝟎𝟎𝟎
𝒙 𝟏𝟎𝟎 = 𝟕𝟏. 𝟒𝟐 %
The coefficient of variation suggests that, the more is the
coefficient of variation of a project, the greater is the risk
associated with that project.

The expected rate of inflation 3. The risk associated with the investment, which is unique to the investment. Hence, Required return = Risk-free real rate + Inflation premium + Risk premium 12

  • 17. Risk measurement • A useful measure of risk should somehow take into account both the probability of various possible "bad" outcomes and their associated magnitudes. • Instead of measuring the probability of a number of different possible outcomes, the measure of risk should somehow estimate the extent to which the actual outcome is likely to diverge from the expected. • For this purpose, range, variance, standard deviation and coefficient of Variation can be used to measure the risk. 17

  • 27. Coefficient of Variation • Standard Deviation is an absolute measure. • It is not suitable for comparison, particularly when investment proposals involve different capital outlay or different monetary values of probable cash inflows. • For comparison in such cases, coefficient of variation approach is the best measure. • This realization is responsible for the emergence of coefficient of variation approach in capital risk analysis. 27 𝐂𝐨𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐕𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 = 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧
