Advantages of the Single Index Model
• Reduces the number of inputs for
diversification
• Easier for security analysts to specialize
8-2
Single Factor Model
ri  E (ri )  i m  ei
ßi = index of a securities’ particular return to the
factor
m = Unanticipated movement related to security
returns
ei = Assumption: a broad market index like the
S&P 500 is the common factor.

Single-Index Model
• Regression Equation:
Rt (t )  i   t RM (t )  ei (t )
• Expected return-beta relationship:
E ( Ri )  i  i E ( RM )

Single-Index Model Continued
• Risk and covariance:
– Total risk = Systematic risk + Firm-specific
risk:  i2  i2 M2   2 (ei )
– Covariance = product of betas x market index

Alpha and Security Analysis
• Macroeconomic analysis is used to estimate
the risk premium and risk of the market index
• Statistical analysis is used to estimate the
beta coefficients of all securities and their
residual variances, σ2 ( e i )
• Developed from security analysis
8-12
Alpha and Security Analysis Continued
• The market-driven expected return is
conditional on information common to all
securities
• Security-specific expected return forecasts
are derived from various security-valuation
models
– The alpha value distills the incremental risk
premium attributable to private information
• Helps determine whether security is a good
or bad buy
8-13
Single-Index Model Input List
• Risk premium on the S&P 500 portfolio
• Estimate of the SD of the S&P 500 portfolio
• n sets of estimates of
– Beta coefficient
– Stock residual variances
– Alpha values

Optimal Risky Portfolio of the SingleIndex Model

Optimal Risky Portfolio of the SingleIndex Model Continued
• Combination of:
– Active portfolio denoted by A
– Market-index portfolio, the (n+1)th asset
which we call the passive portfolio and
denote by M
– Modification of active

The Information Ratio
• The Sharpe ratio of an optimally constructed
risky portfolio will exceed that of the index
