Tax liabilities are based on nominal income and the tax rate determined by the investor’s tax bracket
After-tax return falls by the tax rate times the inflation rate

Sources of investment risk
Macroeconomic fluctuations
Changing fortunes of various industries
Firm-specific unexpected developments
Holding period return (HPR), or realized rate of return, is based on the price per share at year’s end and any cash dividends collected
Risk and Risk Premiums: Holding Period Returns

INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS
Note the percent return from dividends is called the dividend yield, and dividend yield plus the rate of capital gains equals HPR.

Risk premium is the difference between the expected HPR and the risk-free rate
Provides compensation for the risk of an investment
Risk-free rate is the rate of interest that can be earned with certainty
Commonly taken to be the rate on short-term T-bills
Difference between actual rate of return and risk-free rate is called excess return
Risk aversion dictates the degree to which investors are willing to commit funds to stocks
Risk and Risk Premiums: Excess Returns and Risk Premiums

5-9
INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS
Risk premium is the expected value of the excess return, and the standard deviation of the excess return is a measure of its risk.
9
Investors price risky assets so that the risk premium will be commensurate with the risk of expected excess returns
Best to measure risk by the standard deviation of excess, not total, returns

Risk-averse investors consider only risk-free or speculative prospects with positive risk premiums
Portfolio is more attractive when its expected return is higher and its risk is lower
What happens when risk increases along with return?

We assume each investor can assign a welfare, or utility, score to competing portfolios
Utility function
U = Utility value
E(r) = Expected return
A = Index of the investor’s risk aversion
σ2 = Variance of returns
½ = Scaling factor
Risk and Risk Aversion: Risk Aversion and Utility Values (Continued)

6-17
INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS
Utility increases with expected return, but falls with volatility.
The utility score of risky portfolios can be interpreted as a certainty equivalent rate of return, where the certainty equivalent is the rate that a risk-free investment would need to offer to provide the same utility as the risky portfolio.
17
Risk-averse investors consider risky portfolios only if they provide compensation for risk via a risk premium
A > 0
Risk-neutral investors find the level of risk irrelevant and consider only the expected return of risk prospects
A = 0
Risk lovers are willing to accept lower expected returns on prospects with higher amounts of risk
A < 0

Expected return
Weighted average of expected returns on the component securities
Portfolio risk
Variance of the portfolio is a weighted sum of covariances, and each weight is the product of the portfolio proportions of the pair of assets

INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS
Expected Return: The expected return on the portfolio is a weighted average of expected returns on the component securities with portfolio proportions as weights: E(rp) = wD E(rD) + wE E(rE)
Portfolio Risk: (variance) depends on the correlation between the returns of the assets in the portfolio

Consider a portfolio made up of equity (stocks) and debt (bonds)…
where rP = rate of return on portfolio
wD = proportion invested in the bond fund
wE = proportion invested in the stock fund
rD = rate of return on the debt fund
