CHAPTER 1: FOUNDATION OF FINANCE EXPECTED UTILITY THEORY

Behavioral finance: Combines social and psychological theory with financial theory as a mean of understanding how
price movements in the securities market occur independent of any corporate actions

Neoclassical Economics

Neoclassical economics assumptions:

1. People have rational preferences across possible outcomes or states of nature
2. People maximize utility and firms maximize profits
3. People make independent decisions based on all relevant information

Utility = usefulness, happiness, beneficial, satisfaction received from a particular outcome

Rational preferences two key assumptions:

Completeness  ordering what is liked best

Transitivity  preferences after one another, little differences x > y and y > zàx > z (logic)

Utility function: Assign numbers to possible outcomes so that preffered choices receive higher numbers

u(w) = ln(w)  w=wealth

EXPECTED UTILITY THEORY

Used to define rational behavior when people face uncertainty  Individuals should act when confronted with decision-
making under uncertainty in a certain way Theory is really set up to deal with risk, not uncertainty:

Risk= you know the possible outcomes and it can be measured by probability
Uncertainty = you don’t know the possible outcomes

Prospect: Series of wealth outcomes associated with a probability
(money related to risk)

- U(P)= PRa, * U(Wa) + (1 - PRa), * U(Wb)

if P1 = (. 7,300,600) – Utility of probability = 0.7*square root 300+-
0.3* square root 600

RISK ATTITUDE

1. Risk averse:avoiding risk, not willing to accept a fair gamble
2. Risk seeking: going for the more riskier option
3. Risk neutrality: looking for the best solution, not based upon risk

Loss aversion = loses loom larger than gains – this is always there no matter which risk attitude you have

, CHAPTER 2 FOUNDATIONS OF FINANCE II: ASSET PRICING, MARKET EFFICIENCY, AND AGENCY
RELATIONSHIPS

Trade-off risk and return: positive correlation = higher risk gives higher return

Mean return of a portfolio: Weighted average * returns

1. Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT): Practical framework that assumes that investors are risk averse and preferences are
defined in terms of the mean and variance of returns

 ± 30 or more stocks
 Reduce unique risk through diversification  Different sectors and regions, they need to have a negative
correlation

Efficient frontier:
Represents that set of portfolios that maximize expected return for a given level of risk (portfolio G)

Types of risk:
Systematic risk  cannot be avoided by diversifying (market risk)
Unique (of a specific company) risk  can be avoided by diversifying

Adding a risk-free asset =Like adding an exchange mechanism that allows investors to borrow and lend  Two-fund
separation - means that investors maximize utility by combining the risk-free asset with a fund of risky assets

Capital market line (CML):
Gives combinations of the risk-free asset and market portfolio Choose portfolio on line  highest return with lowest risk

2. Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM):

 Equilibrium model
 Only risk related to market movements is priced by market (because other risk can be diversified away)
 Investors will not be compensated for taking on diversifiable risk unrelated to market movements

Expected return= Risk-free rate + Beta * (Return market – Risk-free rate)

Beta: CAPM’s measure of systematic/undiversifiable risk

B=1 Move with market
B=0.5 Market -10%, you -5% Market +10%, you +5%

Market risk premium: (Return market – Risk-free rate)

The more risk you take, the more return you want

 Value is what a security should be worth based on careful analysis
 Price is what the market says it is worth
