Review:efficient frontier From Portfolio Choice... The CML is tangent to the efficient frontier at the tangency portfolio. The tangency portfolio is the portfolio of risky assets that maximizes the Sharpe ratio. The slope of the CML is the maximum Sharpe ratio. Rational investors always hold a combination of the tangency portfolio and the risk-free asset.The proportion depends on investors'risk preferences. 2010/Yichuan Liu 3

Review:CAPM Since each investor holds the tangency portfolio as part of his/her overall portfolio,the market portfolio must coincide with the tangency portfolio. Idea of CAPM:the contribution of a single risky asset to the risk of the market portfolio must be proportional to its risk premium. In other words,investors are compensated for exposure to systematic risk. ldiosyncratic risk is not compensated because they can be diversified away. 2010/Yichuan Liu

Review:testing CAPM CAPM does not hold exactly ▣The regression =a,+B,(m-r)+E often give nonzero alpha. CAPM requires alpha to be zero for all assets CAPM may fail if factors other than beta affect asset returns,such as O Fama-French factors:market(beta),size,and book-to- market 2010/Yichuan Liu

Example 1:the frontier The risk-free rate is 6%,the expected return on the market portfolio is 14%,and the standard deviation of the return on the market portfolio is 25%. Consider a portfolio with expected return of 16% and assume that it is on the efficient frontier. a. What is the beta of this portfolio? b.What is the standard deviation of its return? c.What is its correlation with the market return? 2010/Yichuan Liu
