Q

Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)

A

Foundation for all Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT).
Formula: Rf + (Rm - Rf) * β
(Rm - Rf) = Market Risk Premium and Equity Risk Premium.
(Rm - Rf) * β = Stock Risk Premium
Calculates expected return given: I. market return and ii. Beta
Calculates Security Market Line (SML)
Quantifies investor’s required rate of return.
With CAPM (which is the expected return) you subtract from Actual Return to get Alpha.

PMT = 1/2 (due to 2x year pmts)
FV = Maturity Value
Solve for PV

25
Q

Nominal Yield of a Bond

26
Q

Current Yield of a Bond

A

annual income paid divided by the current market price of the bond

27
Q

Duration of a Bond

A

Used to estimate sensitivity of a bond to changes in rates
Stated in Years.
Zero-Coupon bonds duration equals years to maturity
Higher coupon results in lower duration.
1% change in rates equals % change in bond price equal to duration
A linear estimate of sensitivity to changes in rates

Q

Multi-Stage Dividend Discount Model

A

Step 1: Calculate the end-of-year dividend for 3 years at dividend growth rate.
Step 2: Formula: V = Div from final year in step 1 * 1+interest rate growth of dividend / (r - g)
g = growth
r = req’d rate of return

33
Q

Margin

A

Pledging securities in your brokerage account for a loan from your brokerage firm

Q

Margin Call Formula

A
