Investment Returns and Risk Estimation

1. Expected return represents what investor’sproject to get after predetermined time to

compensate for risksthey take in an investment. It projects returns investors expect from stocks

based on available market data(Eileen Rojas, n.d.).It measures possible losses or profits that

could happen in an investment weighted by their probabilities. The main challenge is investors

must consider strategies for the investment to act in a specified manner. The expected return does

not account for market volatility, informing the risk characteristics to be assumed for the

expected outcomes to achieve. For example, an investment with a high rate of the expected

return may be riskier when the standard deviation is used to reveal the investment's historical

volatility and appraise whether it is in line with the portfolio's goals. It's mainly based on

historical market data and probabilities to project returns, which are not guaranteed.

2. When investors are making investments, they decide the magnitude of their

investments and where to do it. However, the risk profile of an investment versus expected

returns enables investors to diversify investments. Risk-free stock is the portion of the stock with

no market risk. At the same time, the market portfolio has some market risk level (Arnold, Tom

& Terry D. Nixon, 2006). This ratio is determined by the risk levels the investor is willing to

take. Risk-averse investors might only put 20% of their initial investment in the market; hence

the investment has a beta of 0.2, implying the investment is 80% less volatile than the

market.Investors willing to take more significant risks may place 87% of their money in the

market, giving their investment a beta of 0.87, meaning it is 13% less volatile than the market

portfolio hence a high-risk venture. A more significant investment in the market portfolio means

greater market risk assumed by the investors.
