Overview The Risk - Return Relationship Another fundamental relationship in the study of finance is the relationship between expected return and the expected level of associated risk. The nature of the relationship is that as the level of expected risk increases‚ the level of expected return also increases. The opposite is true as well. Lower levels of expected risk are associated with lower expected returns. This RISK-RETURN RELATIONSHIP is characterized as being a direct relationship

Nondiversifiable and Diversifiable Risk c) Because Diversifiable risk can be eliminated through portfolio diversification‚ the more relevant risk is the Nondiversifiable risk. This kind of risk can be attributed to market forces and factors that affect ALL the firms and cannot be eliminated through portfolio diversification. In this case‚ the nondiversifiable risk is about 6.00%. Notice that the area between the red curve and the green line (which represents the diversifiable risk) diminishes as it approaches

less risky when it is a part of a large portfolio. (3)In the context of a portfolio‚ the risk of an asset is divided into two parts: diversifiable risk (unsystematic risk) and market risk (systematic risk). Diversifiable risk arises from company-specific factors and hence can be washed away through diversification. Market risk stems from general market movements and hence cannot be diversified away. For a diversified investor what matters is the market risk and not the diversifiable risk. (4)In general

1.1 INTRODUCTION Every investment is characterised by return and risk. The concept of risk is intuitively understood by investors. In general‚ it refers to the possibility of incurring a loss in a financial transaction. But risk involves much more than that. The word ‘risk’ has a definite financial meaning. The possibility of variation of the actual return from the expected return is termed risk. Corporate securities and government securities constitute important

CHAPTER 22 estimating risk and return on assets 1. WHAT IS RISK? Risk is the variability of an asset’s future returns. When only one return is possible‚ there is no risk. When more than one return is possible‚ the asset is risky. The greater the variability‚ the greater the risk. 2. RISK – RETURN RELATIONSHIP Investment risk is related to the probability of actually earning less than the expected return – the greater the chance of low or negative returns‚ the riskier the investment
