At the end of the year, you have stock worth $3,000 and cash dividends of $20. Your dollar gain was $520 = $20 +

26、o context 环境 . Most investors do not put all their eggs into one basket: They diversify. Thus the effective risk of any security cannot be judged by an examination of that security alone. Part of the uncertainty about the securitys return is diversified away when the security is grouped with others

28、to the average variability of its components?Diversification reduces variabilityDiversification: strategy designed to reduce risk by spreading the portfolio across many investments40Notice that diversification reduces risk rapidly atfirst, then more slowly.Even a little diversification can provide a
29、 substantial reduction in variability.41nSuppose you calculate and compare the standard deviations of randomly chosen one-stock portfolios, two-stock portfolios, five-stock portfolios, etc. nA high proportion of the investments would be in the stocks of small companies and individually very risky. n
30、However, you can see from Figure that diversification can cut the variability of returns about in half. Notice also that you can get most of this benefit with relatively few stocks: The improvement is slight when the number of securities is increased beyond, say, 20 or 30.42Portfolio diversification
31、 works because prices of different stocks do not move exactly together. Diversification works best when the returns are negatively correlated.43Asset versus portfolio riskThe expected return on each stock is simply the average of the three possible outcomes.The variance is the average of the squared
32、 deviations from the expected return, and the standard deviation is the square root of the variance444546n1. Investors care about the expected return and risk of their portfolio of assets. The risk of the overall portfolio can be measured by the volatility of returns, that is, the variance or standa
33、rd deviationSummary47Summaryn2. The standard deviation of the returns of an individual security measures how risky that security would be if held in isolation. But an investor who holds a portfolio of securities is interested only in how each security affects the risk of the entire portfolio. The co
34、ntribution of a security to the risk of the portfolio depends on how the securitys returns vary with the investors other holdings. Thus a security that is risky if held in isolation may nevertheless serve to reduce the variability of the portfolio if its returns do not move in lockstep(步伐一致)with the
35、 rest of the portfolio48Diversification reduces the spread of returns49Market risk versus unique riskDiversification reduces risk rapidly at first and then more slowly50Diversification eliminates unique risk. But there is some risk that diversification cannot eliminate. This is called market risk51U
36、nique risknUnique risk : risk factors affecting only that firm. Also called diversifiable risk. Unique risk arises because many of the perils that surround an individual company are peculiar to that company and perhaps its direct competitors52nMarket risk: economywide (macroeconomic) sources of risk
37、 that affect the overall stock market. Also called systematic risk. Market risk stems from economywide perils that threaten all business. Market risk explains why stocks have a tendency to move together, so even well-diversified portfolios are exposed to market movementsFor a reasonably well-diversi
