Introduction
The basic objectives of investment analysis is to provide the
investor can identify his optimal portfolio when there are a
number of possibilities. An optimal portfolio is the most
feasible portfolio that afford the highest return with lower
risk.
The factor model is also know as Index model.
Factor model is used to reduce the number of estimates.
Single Index Model (SIM)
The single-index model is a simple asset pricing model commonly used in the finance industry to
measure risk and return of a stock. Mathematically the SIM is expressed as:
Rᵢ = aᵢ + ᵦᵢRm + eᵢ
Rᵢ = expected return on security i
a = Alpha co-efficient (interest of the straight line)
ᵦᵢ = Beta co-efficient (slope of straight line)
Rm = Rate of return on market index
eᵢ = Error term
Single Index Model
The following equation can be used as per the single index model.
Rᵢ = aᵢ + bᵢRm + eᵢ
Rᵢ = expected return on security
A = Alpha co-efficient (interest of the straight line)
ᵢ = Beta co-efficient (slope of straight line)
Rm = Rate of return on market index
eᵢ = Error term
Multi Index Model
The followings are some of the factors besides the
market factors:
Interest rates changes
Growth rate of GDP
Difference between the return in short term and long term treasury bills.
Difference between the return in long term corporate bonds and treasury
bills.
Inflation etc.
Exchange rate
