Efficient i frontier: loci of all non-dominated d portfolios in the mean-standard deviation space. By definition, iti no ( rational ) mean-variance investor would choose to hold a portfolio not located on the efficient i frontier. Slide 07-7

14 Efficient i frontier with n risky assets A frontier portfolio is one which displays minimum variance among all feasible portfolios with the same expected portfolio E[r] return. min w 1 2 w T Vw ( λ) ( ) s.t. w T e N = E w E( ~ i r i) = E i= 1 N γ w T 1 = 1 wi = 1 i =11 σ Slide 07-14

15 LL w L = Vw λe γ1 =0 L λ = E w T e = 0 L γ γ =1 w T 1=0 The first FOC can be written as: Vw p = λe + γ1 or w 1 V 1 p = λv 1 e + γv 1 1 e T w p = λ(e( T V 1 e) ) + γ(e T V 1 1) Slide 07-15

16 Noting that e T w p = w T pe, using the first foc, the second foc can be written as E[ r E[r T T 1 T 1 p ] = e w p = λ (e V e) +γ (e V 1) {z } :=B {z } =:A pre-multiplying first foc with 1 (instead of e T ) yields 1 T w p = wp T 1=λ(1 T V 1 e)+γ(1 T V 1 1) = =λ (1 T V 1 e) +γ (1 T V 1 1) {z } =:A {z } =:C Solving both equations for λ and γ λ = CE A D and γ = B AE D where D = BC A 2. Slide 07-16

The portfolio frontier can be described as convex combinations of any two frontier portfolios, not just the frontier portfolios g and g+h. Proposition 6.3 : Any convex combination of frontier portfolios is also a frontier portfolio. Slide 07-18

43 New (LeRoy & Werner) Notation Main changes (new versus old) gross return: r = R SDF: μ = m pricing kernel: k = * q m Asset span: M = <X> income/endowment: w t = e t Slide 07-43

44 Pricing Kernel k q M space of ffeasible payoffs. If no arbitrage and π >>0 there exists SDF μ R S, μ >>0, such that q(z)=e(μ z). μ M SDF need not be in asset span. A pricing kernel is a k q M such that for each z M, q(z)=e(k q z). (k = m * q in our old notation.) Slide 07-44

45 Pricing Pii Kernel - Examples Example 1: S=3,π s =1/3 for s=1,2,3, x 1 =(1,0,0), x 2 =(0,1,1), p=(1/3,2/3). Then k=(1 (1,1,1) 1 1) is the unique pricing kernel. Example 2: S=3,π s =1/3 1/3for s=1,2,3, 123 x 1 =(1,0,0), x 2 =(0,1,0), p=(1/3,2/3). Then k=(1,2,0) (120)is the unique pricing i kernel. Slide 07-45

46 Pricing Pii Kernel Uniqueness If a state price density exists, there exists a unique pricing kernel. If dim(m) = m (markets are complete), there are exactly m equations and m unknowns If dim(m) m, (markets may be incomplete) For any state price density (=SDF) μ and any z M E[(μ-k q )z]=0 μ=(μ-k q )+k q k q is the projection'' of μ on M. Complete markets, k q =μ (SDF=state price density) Slide 07-46

47 Expectations ti Kernel k e An expectations kernel is a vector k e M Such that E(z)=E(k e z) for each z M. Example S=3, π s =1/3, for s=1,2,3, x 1 =(1,0,0), x 2 =(0,1,0). Then the unique k e =(1,1,0). If π >>0, there exists a unique expectations kernel. Let e=(1,, 1) then for any z M E[(e-k e )] )z]=0 k e is the projection of e on M k e = e if bond can be replicated (e.g. if markets are complete) Slide 07-47

48 Mean Variance Frontier Fin 501: Asset Pricing Definition 1: z M is in the mean variance frontier if there exists no z M such that E[z ]= E[z], q(z')= q(z) and var[z ] < var[z]. Definition 2: Let E the space generated by k q and k e. Decompose z=z E +ε, with z E E and ε E. Hence, E[ε]= E[ε k e ]=0, q(ε)= E[ε k q ]=0 Cov[ε,z E ]=E[ε z E ]=0, since ε E. var[z] = var[z E ]+var[ε] (price of ε is zero, but positive variance) If z in mean variance frontier z E. Every z E is in mean variance frontier. Slide 07-48

55 Illustration of MVP Fin 501: Asset Pricing Expected return of MVP M = R 2 and S=3 (1,1,1) Minimum i standard d deviation Slide 07-55

56 Mean-Variance Efficient i Returns Definition: A return is mean-variance efficient if there is no other return with same variance but greater expectation. Mean variance efficient returns are frontier returns with E[r λ ] E[r λ0 ]. If risk-free asset can be replicated Mean variance efficient i returns correspond to λ 0. Pricing kernel (portfolio) is not mean-variance efficient, since Slide 07-56

57 Zero-Covariance Frontier Returns Take two frontier portfolios with returns and C The portfolios have zero co-variance if For all λ λ 0 μ exists μ=0 if risk-free bond can be replicated Slide 07-57

60 Bt Beta Pricing Pii Frontier Returns (are on linear subspace). Hence Consider any asset with payoff x j It can be decomposed in x j = x je + ε j q(x j )=q(x je )ande[x j ]=E[x je ], since ε E. Let r je be the return of x E j x Using above and assuming λ λ 0 and μ is ZC-portfolio of λ, Slide 07-60

61 Beta Bt Pricing Pii Taking expectations and deriving covariance _ If risk-free asset can be replicated, beta-pricing equation simplifies to Problem: How to identify frontier returns Slide 07-61

62 Capital Asset Pricing i Model CAPM = market return is frontier return Derive conditions under which market return is frontier return Two periods: 0,1. Endowment: individual w i 1 at time 1, aggregate where the orthogonal projection of on M is. The market payoff: Assume q(m) 0, let r m =m / q(m), and assume that r m is not the minimum variance return. Slide 07-62

63 Capital Asset Pricing i Model If r m0 is the frontier return that has zero covariance with r m then, for every security j, E[r j ]=E[r m0 ] + β j (E[r m ]-E[r m0 ]), with β j=cov[r j,r m ] / var[r m ]. If a risk free asset exists, equation becomes, E[r j ]= r f + β j (E[r m ]-r f f) N.B. first equation always hold if there are only two assets. Slide 07-63

64 Outdated t d material follows Traditional derivation of CAPM is less elegant Not relevant for exams Slide 07-64

65 Characterization ti of Frontier Portfolios Proposition 6.1: The entire set of frontier portfolios fli can be generated by ("are convex combinations" of) g and g+h. Proposition 6.2. The portfolio frontier can be described as convex combinations of any two frontier portfolios, not just the frontier portfolios g and g+h. Proposition 6.3 : Any convex combination of frontier portfolios is also a frontier portfolio. Slide 07-65

66 Characterization ti of Frontier Portfolios Proposition 6.1: The entire set of frontier portfolios can be generated by ("are convex combinations" of) g and g+h. Proof: To see this let q be an arbitrary frontier portfolio with as its expected return. E ( ) r~q Consider portfolio weights (proportions) π ( ) ( ) g = 1 E r~ q and π ~ g+ h = E r q then, as asserted, [ 1 E ( r~ ) ] q g + E ( r~ q )( g + h ) = g + he ( r~ q ) = wq. Slide 07-66

67 Proposition 6.2. The portfolio frontier can be described as convex combinations of any two frontier portfolios, not just the frontier portfolios g and g+h. Proof: To see this, let p 1 and p 2 be any two distinct frontier portfolios; since the frontier portfolios are E[r p1 ] E[r p2 ] different. e Let q be an arbitrary a frontier portfolio, o o, with expected return equal to E[r q ]. Since E[r p1 ] E[r p2 ], there must exist a unique number such that E[r q ]=α α E[r p1 ]+(1 - α) E[r p2 ] (6.16) Now consider a portfolio of p 1 and p 2 with weights α, 1-α, respectively, as determined by (6.16). We must show that w q = α w p1 +(1-α)w p2. Slide 07-67

68 Proof of Proposition 6.2 (continued) ( 1 α) w = α[ g + he( r~ )] + ( 1 α) [ g he( )] αw ~ p + + r 1 p2 p1 p2 = g + h = g + he [ αe( r~ ) ( ) ( )] p + 1 α E r~ 1 p2 ( r~ ), by construction q = w q, since q is a frontier portfolio. Slide 07-68

69 Proposition 6.3 : Any convex combination of frontier portfolios fli is also a frontier portfolio. fli Proof : Let ( w1... w N ), define N frontier portfolios ( w th i represents the vector defining the composition of the i portfolios) and let α i, i = 1,..., N be real numbers such that N. Lastly, let denote the expected return i= 1αi = 1 E( r i ) of portfolio with weights w i. The weights corresponding to a linear combination of the above N portfolios are : N α ( g he( )) N N αiwi = αi + ~ r i i= 1 i= 1 N = α N g + h E ( r ) α i i= 1 i= 1 N α ~ i r = g + h E( i ) i= 1 N iw i E( r) = αie( ~ r i ) Thus is a frontier portfolio with. i= 1 i r~ i i= 1 Slide 07-69

70 Characterization of Frontier Portfolios For any portfolio on the frontier, with g and h as defined earlier. 2 σ T ( E [ ~ r ]) = [ g + he( ~ r )] V [ g + he( ~ r )] p p p Multiplying all this out yields: Slide

71 Characterization of Frontier Portfolios (i) the expected return of the minimum variance portfolio is A/C; (ii) the variance of the minimum variance portfolio is given by 1/C; (iii) equation (6.17) is the equation of a parabola with vertex (1/C, A/C) in the expected return/variance space and of a hyperbola in the expected return/standard deviation space. See Figures 6.3 and 6.4. Slide

74 Figure 6-5 The Set of Frontier Portfolios: Short Selling Allowed Slide

75 Characterization of Efficient Portfolios (No Risk-Free Assets) Definition 6.2: Efficient portfolios are those frontier portfolios which h are not mean-variance dominated. d Lemma: Efficient portfolios are those frontier portfolios for which the expected return exceeds A/C, the expected return of the minimum variance portfolio. Slide

76 Proposition 6.4 : The set of efficient portfolios is a convex set. This does not mean, however, that the frontier of this set is convexshaped in the risk-return space. Proof : Suppose each of the N portfolios considered above was efficient; then r~ A /, for every portfolio i. ( ) C E i N N A αie( r~ i ) αi = i= 1 i= 1 C A C However ; thus, the convex combination is efficient as well. So the set of efficient portfolios, fli as characterized by their hi portfolio fli weights, ih is a convex set. Slide

77 Zero Covariance Portfolio Zero-Cov Portfolio is useful for Zero-Beta CAPM Proposition 6.5: For any frontier portfolio p, except the minimum variance portfolio, there exists a unique frontier portfolio with which p has zero covariance. We will call this portfolio the "zero covariance portfolio relative to p", and denote its vector of portfolio weights by ZC p. ( ) Proof: by construction. Slide

78 collect all expected returns terms, add and subtract A 2 C/DC 2 and note that the remaining term (1/C)[(BC/D)-(A 2 /D)]=1/C, since D=BC-A 2 Slide
