Common Measures of Risk and Return
Probability Distributions


–When an investment is risky, there are different
returns it may earn. Each possible return has some
likelihood of occurring.



This information is summarized with a probability
distribution, which assigns a probability, PR , that
each possible return, R , will occur.
Example: Probability Distributions



Assume stock A currently trades for $100 per share.
In one year, there is a 25% chance the share price
will be $140, a 50% chance it will be $110, and a
25% chance it will be $80.
Example: Probability Distributions
Expected Return


Expected (Mean) Return



– Calculated as a weighted average of the possible
returns, where the weights correspond to the
probabilities.
Variance and Standard Deviation


Variance
– The expected squared deviation from the
mean



Standard Deviation
– The square root of the variance



Both are measures of the risk of a probability
distribution
Variance and Standard Deviation


For Stock A, the variance and standard deviation are



In finance, the standard deviation of a return is also
referred to as its volatility. The standard deviation
is easier to interpret because it is in the same units
as the returns themselves
Example
Solution
Example


Stock B has the following probability distribution:
Solution
Historical Returns of Stocks and Bonds


Computing Historical Returns
–Realized Return
The return that actually occurs over a
particular time period.

=Dividend Yield + Capital Gain Rate
Historical Returns of Stocks and Bonds
Computing Historical Returns


If a stock pays dividends at the end of each quarter,
with realized returns RQ1, . . . ,RQ4 each quarter,
then its annual realized return, R annual, is computed
as
Example
Solution
Another Example


What were the realized annual returns for Ford stock
in 1999 and in 2008?
