Introduction to Investment
1. What is Investment?
• An investment is the purchase of assets that are not
consumed today but are used in the future to
create wealth.
• An investment is a monetary asset purchased with the
idea that the asset will provide income in the future
or will later be sold at a higher price for a profit.
• An investment is the current commitment of money
for a period of time in order to derive future
payments that will compensate the investor for ;
 the time the funds are committed,
 the expected rate of inflation, and
 the uncertainty of the future payments
Characteristics of Investment
• Risk factor : Every investment contains certain portion
of risk. Most investors prefer to invest in less
riskier securities.
• Expectation Of Return: Return expectation is the
main objective of investment. Investors expect
regularity of high and consistent income for their
capital.
• Safety: Investors expect safety for their capital. They
desire certainty of return and protection of
their investment or principal amount.
• Liquidity: Liquidity means easily sale or convert the
capital or investment into cash without any loss.
So, most investors prefer liquid investments.
• Marketability: It is another feature of investment that
they are marketable. It means buying and selling
or transferability of securities in the market.
Objectives of Investment:
• Capital Appreciation is concerned with long-term
growth. You are not very concerned with day-to-
day fluctuations, but keep a close eye on the
fundamentals of the company for changes that
could affect long-term growth.
• Current Income: If your objective is current income,
you are most likely interested in stocks that pay
a consistent and high dividend.
• Capital preservation: is a strategy you often associate
with investors who want to make sure they
don’t outlive their money.
• Speculation: is an investment in which traders are
interested in quick profits and used advanced
trading techniques like shorting stocks, trading
on the margin, options, and other special
methods.
 Investments Vs Speculation
• Investing involves the purchase of assets with the
intent of holding them for the long term, while
speculation involves attempting to capitalize on
market inefficiencies for short-term profit.
• Ownership is generally not a goal of speculators,
while investors often look to build the number of
assets in their portfolios over time.
• Although speculators are often making informed
decisions, speculation cannot usually be
categorized as traditional investing.
• Speculation is generally considered higher risk
than traditional investing, though this can vary
depending on the type of investment involved.

 Difference between RA and FA
• Real assets appear only in the asset side of the
balance sheet, financial assets always appear on
both sides of the balance sheets.

• Financial assets are created and destroyed in the

ordinary course of doing business. In contrast, real
assets are destroyed by accident, use, wear and tear
and obsolescence.

• Real assets determine the wealth of an economy

whereas financial assets merely represent claims on
real assets.
 Investment on Financial Assets
• In finance, investment means the purchase of a
financial product or other item of value with an
expectation of favourable future returns.

• The term security refers to any negotiable

financial instrument, such as a stock, bond,
options contract, or shares of a mutual fund.

• Securities fall into three broad categories:

– Debt Securities: also called fixed income
securities
– Equity Securities: which refers to common
stocks
– Derivative Securities: which refers to various forms of
 Major investors in
securities
• Major security market investors include
– institutions that trade on behalf of clients,
– Individuals Investors
– Retail investors
– Institutions such as asset management firms
– Extremely wealthy individuals
– Private and public organizations
– Cooperatives and Associations
– Financial institutions
– Speculators
– Brokers
 1.3 Investment Policy and Constraints
• Policy statement is a road map in which investors
specify the types of risks they are willing to take
and their investment goals and constraints.
• All investment decisions should be based on the
policy statement to ensure they are appropriate
for the investor
• In addition to the investment objective that sets
limits on risk and return, certain other constraints
also affect the investment plan.
• Investment constraints include liquidity needs,
an investment time horizon, tax factors, legal and
regulatory constraints, and unique needs and
preferences.
Investment Portfolio Management Process
1.4 Security Market efficiency
• The excess return on an investment is the return in
excess of that earned by other investments having the
same risk.
• “Beating the market” means consistently earning a
positive excess return.
• Relation between stock prices and information
available to investors indicates whether it is possible to
“beat the market.”
• If a market is efficient, it is not possible, except by
luck.
• An efficient capital market is one in which security
prices adjust rapidly to the arrival of new information
and, therefore, the current prices of securities reflect
all information about the security
Forms of Market Efficiency
Weak-form efficient market
A market in which past prices and volume
figures are of no use in beating the market.
Semistrong-form efficient market
A market in which publicly available
information is of no use in beating the
market.
Strong-form efficient market
A market in which information of any kind,
public or private, is of no use in beating the
market.
1.5 Security Market Indicators:
• If an investor owns more than a few stocks or bonds,
it is cumbersome to follow each stock or bond
individually to determine the composite
performance of the portfolio.
• Also, there is an insightful notion that most
individual stocks or bonds move with the aggregate
market.
• Therefore, if the overall market rose, an individual’s
portfolio probably also increased in value.
• Tosupply investors with a composite report
market performance, some financial publications or
on
investment firms have developed stock market and
bond market indexes
– S&P 500 index,
– Moody’s
– Nasdaq composite index,
– Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA))
 Benefits of Security market Indicators
• As benchmarks to evaluate the performance
of professional money managers

• Tomeasure market rates of return in

economic studies

• For predicting future market movements

by technicians

• As a proxy for the market portfolio of risky assets

when calculating the systematic risk of an asset.

 Chapter Two
Financial Markets and
1. Instruments
What are financial markets?
• Financial Market refers to a marketplace, where
creation and trading of financial assets, such as shares,
bonds, derivatives, currencies, etc. take place.
• It acts as an intermediary between the savers and
investors by mobilising funds between them
• The financial market provides a platform to the buyers
and sellers, to meet, for trading assets at a price
determined by the demand and supply forces.
• The financial market may or may not have a physical
location, i.e. the exchange of asset between the parties
can also take place over the internet or phone.
Functions of Financial Market
• It facilitates mobilisation of savings and puts it to the
most productive uses.
• It helps in determining the price of the securities. The
frequent interaction between investors helps in fixing
the price of securities, on the basis of their demand
and supply in the market.
• It provides liquidity to tradable assets, by facilitating
the exchange, as the investors can readily sell their
securities and convert assets into cash.
• It saves the time, money and efforts of the parties, as
they don’t have to waste resources to find probable
buyers or sellers of securities.
• Further, it reduces cost by providing valuable
information, regarding the securities traded in the
financial market.
2.2 Classification of Financial Market
1. By Nature of Claim
•Debt Market: The market where fixed
claims or debt instruments, such as
bonds are bought and sold between
investors.
•Equity Market: Equity market is a market
wherein the investors deal in equity
instruments. It is the market for residual
claims.
2. By Maturity of Claim
• Money The market where
monetary
Market: assets such as commercial
paper, certificate of deposits, treasury
bills, etc. which mature within a year, are
traded is called money market.

• Capital Market: The market where

medium and long term financial assets
(bonds and stocks) are traded is a capital
market.
3. Time of Issues
• Primary Market: A financial market, wherein
the company listed on an exchange, for the
first time, issues new security or already listed
company brings the fresh issue.
• Secondary Market: is an organised
marketplace, wherein already issued securities
are traded between investors, such as
individuals, merchant bankers, stock brokers
and mutual funds.
Third Market
• Although most transactions in listed stocks take place on
an exchange, an investment firm that is not a member of
an exchange cannot make a market in a listed stock.
• The term third market describes over the counter (OTC)
trading of shares not listed on an exchange.

Fourth Market
• The term fourth market describes direct trading
securities
of between two parties with no broker
intermediary. In almost all cases,
involved
both are institutions.
parties
• The fourth market evolved because of the substantial
fees charged by brokers to institutions with large
orders.
4. By Timing of Settlement
• Spot Market: The market where the
transaction between buyers
sellers are and settled in
(immediately).real time
• Future Market: Futures market is
one where the delivery or settlement
of commodities takes place at a
future specified date.
5. By Organizational Structure
• Exchange Traded Market: A financial
market, which has a centralised
organisation with the standardised
procedure.
• Over-the-Counter Market (OCT): An
OTC is characterised by a
decentralised organisation, having
customised procedures.
 2.3 Money Markets Instruments
What do money markets do?
⯀help issuers of instruments with cash management or
with financing their portfolios of financial assets.
⯀attach a price to liquidity, the availability of money for
immediate investment.
⯀active/liquid money markets allow borrowers and
investors to engage in a series of short-term transactions
rather than in longer-term transactions, keeping down
long-term interest rate.
 Types Of Money
1.Markets
Commercial paper
• a short-term debt obligation of a private-sector
firm or a government-sponsored corporation
• has maturity of between 90 - 270 days
• is usually unsecured
• developed with the aim of allowing financially
sound companies to meet their short-term
financing needs at lower rates than could be
obtained by borrowing directly from banks.
 2. Bankers’ Acceptance
• a promissory note issued by a non-financial
firm to a bank in return for a loan
• the bank resells the note in the money
market at a discount and guarantees
payment
• is issued at a discount and has a
maturity of less than six months.
 3. Treasury Bills
• securities with a maturity of one year or less, issued by
national governments
• treasury bills issued by a government in its own
currency are generally considered the safest of all
possible investments in that currency
• are used as principal source of financing where a
government is unable to convince investors to buy its
longer-term obligations.
• National bank of Ethiopian issues four types of treasury
bill (28 days, 91 days, 180 days and 364 days T-bills)
 4. Interbank Loans
• loans extended from one bank to another with
which it has no affiliation
• are used by the borrowing institution to re-lend
to its own customers
• includes overnight loans needed to maintain
the required reserves
• banks extend short-term loans to one another at
agreed upon interest rate.
• it is called LIBOR (London Inter Bank Offer Rate)
in UK, Federal fund rate in the US.
 5. Certificate Of Deposit (CD)
• It is a certificate granted by Banks for making
fixed time deposit
• Time deposits are interest-bearing bank deposits
that cannot be withdrawn without penalty
before a specified date.
• Time deposits may last for as long as five years.
• The certificate on time deposit can be used for
taking short term loan from another
company
 6. Repurchase Agreement(REPOS)

is a combination of two transactions

1. a securities dealer, such as a bank, sells
securities it owns to an investor, agreeing to
repurchase the securities at a specified higher
price at a future date.
2. days or months later, the repo is unwound
as the dealer buys back the securities from
the investor
 2.4 CAPITAL MARKETS
1. Bond Market
• the word “bond” means contract, agreement, or guarantee.
• an investor who purchases a bond is lending money to the
issuer

 Stock Market in Ethiopia
• Ethiopia had stock exchange before 1974 during imperial
region and it was closed by the Dergu regime
• Since then Capital market in Ethiopia is under developed
because of the following reasons:
– venture capital mechanisms are weak and inadequate;
– the regulatory apparatus is absent;
– the quality of financial reporting is poor;
– the community of investment analyst is small and not so well
trained;
– financial press is often not very objective and
professional and finally
– lack of willingness from the government.
• Now many academicians and business people are pushing
the government to re-introduce the market
• As a result, the parliament has enacted a proclamation to
re-introduce stock market in 2020.
• Currently preparatory works are underway to start the
secondary market

2.6 Derivative Securities Markets
• Derivatives are complicated financial products
that base their value on underlying assets. The
followings are Some derivative securities
1. Options: Options are contracts that give
the purchaser the right, but not the obligation,
to buy or sell a security, such as a stock or
exchange-traded fund, at a fixed price within a
specific period of time.
2. Forward contract: agreement
between buyer and seller to trade
securities for cash on a specific date
3. Future contract: similar to forward
contract, except that it is traded in an
organized exchange asset standardized and
indeminity is available in case of default
4. Swaps : agreement to exchange
specified periodic cash flows in the future
based on some underlying instrument or
price
Chapter 3: Risk, Return and Portfolio
Analysis
1. Risk and Return of a single Investment
What is Return?
• Return is the net reward generated from
an investment.
• It is a gain or loss made from an investment.

• Expected return (ER) is the weighted average

of possible returns from a given investment for the
future

Pi= Probability, ri= return at each state of nature

53
• The real risk-free rate (RRFR) is the basic rate of return
assuming no inflation and no uncertainty about future
flows
• Investors view T-bill rate as an example of Real risk free
rate since governed is not expected to default
• Inflation is the general increase in the nominal price of
goods and service
• The rate of return is affected by inflation. The rate of
return that includes inflation is called Nominal rate of
return
• The relationship between RRFR and Inflation is given
as follows
 Illustration
• Assume that the nominal return on
government T-bills was 9 percent during a
given year, when the rate of inflation was 5
percent. In this instance, the RRFR of return
on these T-bills was 3.8 percent, as follows:
What is Risk?
• Risk is the variability of return because of different
uncertainties. The followings are types of
risks
1. Controllable Risks (Unsystematic Risks)
– Operating risk
– Liquidity risk
– Credit Risk
– Solvency Risk
2. Uncontrollable Risks ( Systematic Risks)
– Market risk
– Interest rate risk
– Inflation risk
– Political risk
– Exchange rate risk
– Legal Risk

56
How to Measure risk?
1. Standard Deviation is an absolute measure
of risk. The smaller the standard
deviation, the lower the risk of the
investment and vice versa.

2. Coefficient of Variation is a relative

measure of risk computed simply by
dividing the standard deviation for a security
by expected return:

 4.2 Portfolio Risk and Return

Diversification

– It is risky to hold a single financial asset in

isolation. It is better to hold a group of securities
in order to minimize risk. This group of assets
held together are called portfolio
– Portfolio theory , originally proposed by Henry
Markowitz in the 1952, was the first formal
attempt to quantify the risk of a portfolio and
develop a methodology for determining the
optimal portfolio.
Henry Markowitz (1927 -)
(1990 Noble Price Winner)

• He was the first person to show quantitatively

why and how diversification reduces risk.
 Derives the expected rate of return for a portfolio
of assets and an expected risk measure
 Derives the formula for computing the variance of
a portfolio, showing how to effectively
diversify investments
Portfolio Return: The portfolio return is the weighted
average of the returns of each securities
rp = w1r1 +w2r2 + … + wnrn
Portfolio Risk
1.Portfolio risk is not the weighted average of
-
the st andard deviation
2. Portfolio risk can be minimized by
diversification
3.The degree to which risk is minimized depends on
the correlation between the two securities combined

 Correlation Coefficients
• The tendency of the returns on two assets to move together.
• The correlation coefficient always ranges between –
1.0 and +1.0.
• A correlation coefficient of +1.0 implies a perfectly positive
correlation
• A correlation coefficient of –1.0 indicates a perfectly
negative
correlation.
• A zero correlation coefficient implies that there is no relationship
between the returns of securities
Portfolio Risk and Correlation between Assets
• To reduce risk in a portfolio, it is best to combine assets that have a
negative (or low-positive) correlation.
• Uncorrelated assets reduce risk somewhat, but
not effectively as combining negatively
as
correlated assets.
• When correlation coefficient of returns on individual securities is
perfectly positive (i.e., cor = 1.0), then there is no advantage of
diversification.

• We may therefore conclude that diversification always

reduces risk provided the correlation coefficient is less
than one

• The boundary line BCDE
defines the efficient set of
portfolios, which is also
called the efficient frontier.
• Portfolios to the left of the

Can we Diversify all Risks?
Securities consists of two components of risk
1. Diversifiable ( Controllable or unsystematic) risks
– Operating risk
– Liquidity risk
– Default risk
2. Non Diversifiable (Non controllable or
systematic risks
– Inflation risk
– Interest rate risk
– Market risk

4.3 Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
William F. Sharpe ( 1934 –)
(1990 noble prize winner)
The capital asset pricing model is a model that relates the risk
measured by beta to the level of expected rate of return on a
security. The model is also called security market line(SML)
given as follows

Where
r=required rate of return
rf = risk free rate (eg. rate of t-bill)
rm = market rate of return
β = an index of non diversifiable
risk 78
 What is Beta(β)?
β is a measure of the security volatility relative to the
average security in the market. It is given by the
following formula

Where:
– M = rm – rf
– K = ri – rf
– n= number of years

79
 Illustration
Compute the beta coefficient using the
following data for stock x and the market
portfolio. Assume that the risk free rate is 6%.

Assuming that the risk free rate is 8% and the
market rate is 12%, calculate the rate of return
for a specific security if the beta coefficient has
the following values and draw the security
market line; β = 0, β = 0.5,β =1.0,β =1.5,β =2.0
Solution
a) r = 8% + 0.0(12% - 8%) = 8%
b) r = 8% + 0.5(12% - 8%) = 10%
c) r = 8% + 1.0(12% - 8%) = 12%

• The CAPM is a single-factor model. The APT is
a model developed by Stephen Ross that
include more than one risk factors such as
GDP, Inflation, changes in tax laws, and so
forth for determining expected return
 Illustration
An analyst has modeled the stock of Brown
Kitchen Supplies using a two-factor APT model.
The risk-free rate is 5%, the required return on
the first factor is 10%, and the required return
on the second factor is 15%. If β1 = 0.5 and β2 =
1.3, what is Brown’s required return?
Solution

ri = 5%+0.5(10%-5%) +1.3(15%-5%)=
20.5%
Fama-French Three Factors Model
Eugene Fama and Kenneth French argued
that firms expected rate of return depends on
three factors including market risk, the
company ’s size as measured by the market
value of its equity (MVE) and the company ’s
book-to-market ratio (B/M)
 Illustration
An analyst has modeled the stock of a company
using a Fama-French three-factor model. The
risk-free rate is 5%, the required market return is
11%, the risk premium for small stocks (rSMB) is
3.2%, and the risk premium for value of stocks
(rHML ) is 4.8%. If b= 0.7, c= 1.2, and d= 0.7, then
what is the stock ’ s required return?
Solution

ri= 5% +0.7(11%-5%) + 1.2(3.2%) + 0.7(4.8%)

= 16.4%
Asset allocation Decision
• Asset allocation is the process of deciding how to
distribute an investor’s wealth among different
countries and asset classes for investment
purposes.
• In addition to the risk and return analysis, the asset
allocation decision of investors depends on
• Investors Goal and objectives
• Investors needs and preference
• Cultural difference
• Age of the investor
• Tax factor
• Liquidity
• Legal and regulatory framework
Selecting Investments in a Global Market
• Investors who want the broadest range of choices
in investments must consider foreign stocks and
bonds in addition to domestic financial assets.
• International Bond and stock markets are the two
options available to Global investors
• However, International Investment has two
specific risk associated to Foreign exchange and
country specific risks
• The proportion of combining domestic and
International investment should be based on the
risk and return analysis of the portfolio

Security Analysis and
Valuation
• Tell your friends or relatives that you are studying
investments and they will ask you, “What stocks
should I buy?”
• This is the question at the heart of security
analysis.
• How do analysts choose the stocks and other
securities to hold in their portfolios?
• Security analysis requires a wide mix of skills. You
need to be knowledgeable with a good grasp of
both macroeconomics and microeconomics.
 The Investment Decision Process
 Determine the required rate of return
 Evaluate the investment to determine if its
market price is consistent with your required rate of
return
⚫ Estimate the value of the security based on its
expected cash flows and your required
rate of return.
⚫ Compare this intrinsic value to the market price to
decide if you want to buy it.
 But how do you narrow down the list of
potential investments to a reasonable level?
 4.1 Fundamental Analysis
• Fundamental analysis attempts to measure a security's
intrinsic value by examining related economic and
financial factors, which can be both qualitative and
quantitative in nature.
• Fundamental analysts study anything that can affect
the security's value, including macroeconomic factors
(e.g., economy and industry conditions) and
microeconomic factors (e.g., financial conditions and
company management).
• The end goal of fundamental analysis is to produce a
quantitative value that an investor can compare with a
security's current price, thus indicating whether the
security is undervalued or overvalued.
Benefits of Fundamental Analysis
• Fundamental analysis attempts to measure a
security's intrinsic value.
• Fundamental analysis seeks to identify securities
that are not correctly priced by the market.
• Investors can utilize fundamental analysis to
optimize their portfolio's performance.
• If the fair market value is higher than the market
price, then the stock is deemed to be
undervalued and a buy recommendation can be
given.
• Fundamental analysis includes Economic analysis,
Industry analysis and Company analysis which
plays vital role in the final decision
 Elements of Fundamental Analysis
1. Economic Analysis
⚫ Decide how to allocate investment
funds among countries, and
within countries to bonds, stocks,
and cash
2. Industry Analysis
⚫ Determine which industries will
prosper and which
industries will suffer on a global
basis and within countries
3. Company Analysis
⚫ Determine which companies in the
selected industries will
prosper and which stocks are
undervalued
1. Economic/Market analysis
i. The Global Economy
• The top-down analysis of the prospect of a firm must
begin with the global economy because:
– The global economy has a bearing on the export prospects of the
firm, the competition it faces from international competitors and
the profitability of its overseas investment.
– Although the economics of most countries are linked,
economic performance varies widely across
countries at any time.
– From time to time, countries may experience disorder
due to complex interplay between political
and economic factors.
– The exchange rate is the key factor affecting the
international competitiveness of a
country’s industries.
ii. The Central (Federal) Government policy
• The government employs two broad
classes of macroeconomic policies:

 Once we’ve completed the economic forecast
and industry analysis, we can focus on choosing
the best positioned company in our chosen
industry
 Selecting a company will involve an analysis of:
⚫ The company’s management
⚫ The company’s financial statements
⚫ Key drivers for future growth
 Obviously, we are looking for companies with
the best management, strong financials,
great prospects, and that are undervalued
by the market
 Always remember that the past is irrelevant,
what you are buying is future results.

• Technical analysis is based on the widely accepted premise that
security prices are determined by the supply and the demand for
securities.
• Typically technical analysts record historical financial data on charts,
study these charts in an effort to find meaningful patterns, and use
these patterns to predict future prices.
• Technical analysts believe that past patterns of market action will
recur in the future and that past patterns can be used for predictive
purposes.
• Rather than try to evaluate the intrinsic value of a security, the
technical analysts seek to estimate security prices, or forecast short-
run shifts in supply and demand that will affect the market price of
one or more securities.
• Some of the tools used by chartists to measure supply and demand
and to forecast security prices are the Dow theory chart, odd-lot
theory, confidence index, breadth-of-market indicators, relative-
strength analysis, and trading-volume data.

Dow Theory (Charles Dow)

• Dow theory is a method of analyzing and interpreting stock

market movements that dates back to the turn of the century.
The theory is named after Charles Dow, a cofounder of the
Dow Jones Company and an editor of the Dow Jones-owned
newspaper, The Wall Street Journal.
• The Dow theory is a method of interpreting and signaling
changes in the stock market direction based on the
monitoring of the Dow Jones Industrial and Transportation
Averages.
• The Dow theory identifies three forces:
 a primary direction or trend,
 a secondary reaction or trend, and
 daily fluctuations.

Chapter 5: Stock and Bond valuation
• Valuation of financial assets compares the benefits of a
future investment decision with its cost.
• The value of an investment depends on the amount
and timing of the future cash flows, and the
discount rate used to translate these future cash
flows into a value today.
• Let CFt represent the cash flow from the investment in
period t, so that CF1 is the cash flow at the end
of period 1, CF2 is the cash flow at the end of
period 2, and so on, If the investment produces
cash flows for N periods and the discount rate is r,
the intrinsic value of the investment is calculated

• To ensure that you receive your required return
on an investment, you must estimate the intrinsic

5.1 Stock Valuation
• Stock investments are investments in the capital
stock of a corporation.
• When a company holds stock of several different
corporations, the group of security is identified as
investment portfolio.
• There are two types of stock including Preferred
stock and common stock
• Preferred stock is defined as equity with priority
over common stock with respect to the payment of
dividends and the distribution of assets at
liquidation
• Common stock is the residual ownership of a
corporation
 Valuation of Preferred Stock

Characteristics of Preferred Stock

• Par and Liquidation Values
• Pay specified amount of dividend
– Cumulative Vs Non cumulative
– Participative Vs Non Participating
• Convertibility
• Contingent voting rights
 Cont’d
• Preferred stock is defined as equity with priority over
common stock with respect to the payment
of dividends and the distribution of assets in
liquidation.
• The preferred dividend rate is expressed as a
percentage of the par value of the preferred stock.
• The annual preferred dividend is determined by
multiplying the preferred dividend rate times the
par value of the preferred stock.
• Since the preferred dividends are generally fixed,
preferred stock can be valued as a constant
growth stock with a dividend growth rate equal to
zero.
• Thus, the price of a share of preferred stock can be
determined using the following equation.

 Cont’d
• Like preferred stocks, a common stock’s value is equal to
the present value of all future cash flows expected to be
received by the stock holder
• Many companies have expected dividend streams that can be
roughly described as growing at constant rate for a long
period of time.
• Thus, if a normal, or constant, growth company’s last dividend
which has already been paid was Do, its dividend at any
future year t may be forecasted as Dt = Do (1+g)t ,where g is
the constant expected rate of growth.
• The value of a stock whose dividend is expected to increase at
constant rate is given as follows:

• Basic features of a bond
– Denomination
– Term to Maturity
–Interest
–Security
–Debt Retirement
–Convertibility
Types Of
Bonds
1. Straight Bonds
🢚owner receives interest payments
on specified dates, usually every six
months or every year following the
date of issue.
🢚 t h e issuer must redeem the bond from
the owner at its face value on a specific
date.

in equal installment over a specified period of time
3. Callable bonds
🢚 the issuer may reserve the right to call the bonds
at particular dates
🢚 the difference between the call price and the
current market price is the call premium.
🢚 a bond that is callable is worth less than an
identical bond that is non-callable

gives the investor the right to sell the
bonds back to the issuer at par value on
designated dates.
• this benefits the investor if interest rates

5.Perpetual Bond
• are bonds that will last forever unless the
holder agrees to sell them back to the
issuer.

6. Zero-coupon Bonds
• do not pay periodic interest.
• issued at less than par value and are
redeemed at par value
• are designed to eliminate reinvestment

 Cont’d
• A bond contract represents a promise to pay an
amount of money at maturity and a series of
interest payment during the term of the contract.
• Investors acquire corporate bonds to earn a return
on investment.
• The effective rate of return on bonds to investors is
determined by the price investors pay for the bonds.
• The cost of an investment in bonds is the present value
of the future cash receipt pursuant to the
bond contract, measured in terms of the market
rate of interest at the time of investment.
• Therefore, the acquisition cost of a bond is the present
value of the face amount of the bond and the
present value of the periodic interest received
computed using the effective interest rate.

Where: PV= is present value of a bond

P= Principal of a bond
t = number of discounting period
I = Interest computed using nominal
rate
r = effective rate

For Example, Assume an Investor invested in Br 100,000 of five year,

7% term bond on January 2, year 1. The bond promises to pay Br
100,000 at the end of five years and Br 7,000 (7% x Br 100,000) annual
interest. The bond pays interest annually. Under the following 3
alternative effective rate of interest, determine the value of the bond.
a) If the effective market interest rate is 7%
b) If the effective market interest rate is 6%
c) If the effective market interest rate is 8%

PV  Br.100,000
Since the bond’s nominal rate is equal to the effective rate, the acquisition price of the
bond is the same as the face value.

b) effective rate (r) = 6%

Br.100,000 Br.7,000(1 
(1.06)  5 )
PV  
(1  0.06) 5 0.06
PV  Br.104,213
Since the effective rate is less than the nominal rate, the bond is said to be acquired at
Premium. The Premium amount is Br 4,213 ( Br 104,213 – Br 100,000).
c) effective rate (r) = 8%
Br.100,000 Br.7,000(1 
(1.08)  5 )
PV    Br.96,007 (1
 0.08) 5 0.08

Since the effective rate is greater than the nominal rate, the bond is said to be acquired at
discount. The discount amount is Br 3,993 ( Br 100,000 – Br 96,007).

Investment Management and
Evaluation
1. Investment Management
• There are two groups of investors which
include individual and institutional investors
• Individual and institutional face different
problems and have different needs
investors
• Individual investors must operate at small scale
and develop their own source of investment information.
• They must also develop procedures for carrying
out investment transaction
• Institutional investors have options that are typically
not open to individual investors
• Information is more readily available with less cost
for institutional investors
130
Investment Process
• The investment process Includes the different
components that are needed for an
investment strategy to by successful
1. Understanding investors needs and preferences
2. Actual construction of the portfolio
a) allocate the portfolio across different asset
classes
b) Investment asset selection decision
c) Execution of investment decision
3. Performance evaluation
Passive & Active Management
• Portfolio management can be carried out in an active
or passive basis.
• Active management requires considerable analysis and
forecasting of national and industrial trend
before undertaking the investment.
• In passive management, the portfolio manager invests
in the market index or in a mixture of securities
that can be expected to perform very similar to the
market
• Passive management has its theoretical basis in the
efficient market hypothesis
• Modified active management involves constructing
an efficient frontier from available investment
information 132
5.2 Performance Measurement
There are two major requirements of a portfolio
manager:
• The ability to derive above-average returns for a
given risk class
• The ability to diversify the portfolio completely to
eliminate all unsystematic risk, relative to the
portfolio’s benchmark
• There are three composite measures of
performance of portfolio managers
– Sharp Measure
– Trayner Measure
– Jenson Measure
 1. Sharp Performance Measures

• The Sharpe measure calculates the average

return over and above the risk-free rate per
unit of portfolio srik

Where: Ri = average portfolio

return Rf = Risk free return
σ = risk of the portfolio

134
2. Treynor Performance Measures
• The Treynor measure is similar to Sharpe’s measure except
that it measures return over the portfolio’s beta
• The measures is dependent upon the diversification of the
portfolio
• If the portfolio is poorly diversified, the Treynor will show a
high ranking and vice versa for the Sharpe measure

 Rf
Treynor measure 

 Illustration
Suppose that during the most recent 10-year period,
the average annual total rate of return (including
dividends) on an aggregate market portfolio, such as
the S&P 500, was 14 percent and the average
nominal rate of return on government T-bills was 8
percent. Assume that, as administrator of a large
pension fund that has been divided among three
money managers during the past 10 years, you must
decide whether to renew your investment
management contracts with all three managers. To
do this, you must measure how they have
performed.

Suppose you are told that the standard deviation of the
annual rate of return for the market portfolio over the
past 10 years was 20 percent and Assume you are given
the following additional information:

 Interpretation
• Under both measures, X and Y beat the market portfolio, and
Manager Y performed somewhat better than Manager X
• Investment Manager W not only ranked the lowest of the three
managers but did not perform as well as the aggregate market
• For a completely diversified portfolio, one without any
unsystematic risk, the two measures give identical rankings
because the total variance of the completely diversified portfolio
is its systematic variance.
• Alternatively, a poorly diversified portfolio could have a high
ranking on the basis of the Treynor performance measure but a
much lower ranking on the basis of the Sharpe performance
measure.
• Any difference in rank would come directly from a difference in
diversification.
• Therefore, these two performance measures provide
complementary yet different information, and both measures
should be used.
 Jensen performance Measure
• Solution to the Illustration
α = [Ri - Rf] – β[ Rm-

αM = [14% - 8%] –
1.0[ 14% - 8%]= 0 %
αw = [12% - 8%] –
0.9[ 14% - 8%]= -1.4%
αx = [16% - 8%] –
1.05[ 14% - 8%]= 1.7%
αy = [18% - 8%] –
1.2[ 14% - 8%]=
