Day 5: Risk/Return Trade-Off - “No Risk, No Reward”

Image
      It is all about Min(Risk)/Max(Return) Higher risk is associated with greater probability of higher return and lower risk with a greater probability of smaller return , as illustrated in Figure 6. Generally, the  R isk /R eturn trade-off  is calculated with the the aforementioned key drivers of returns in combination with Risk FMR   such as STDEV, Alpha/Beta, the Treynor/Sharpe ratio,   VaR/CVaR, R-squared, DCR,   DER, ICR, and DCL. Let’s say we have to select either TSLA or AAPL based upon current EPS and STDEV values (Q4 2021): Table 14 : Example EPS and STDEV for TSLA and AAPL. Stock EPS $ Q3 2021 STDEV Q4 2021 TSLA 1.86 3.56 AAPL 1.3 1.54   Even though EPS(TSLA)>EPS(AAPL), your investment in TSLA would be considered   much more risky than that in AAPL because STDEV(TSLA)/STDEV(AAPL)~2.3.   For instance, in the...

Heads-Up: Upswing Resilient Investor Guide Risk/Return Ratio

  Let’s get down to the nuts and bolts of the TLS and related metrics. As mentioned earlier, the ultimate universal goal of a resilient investor is to minimize the Risk/Return Ratio (RRR) by minimizing Risk whilst maximizing Return as follows: min(RRR)=min(Risk)/max(Return), where RRR = (Entry Point – Stop-Loss Point)/(Profit Target - Entry Point). The problem is that Return and Risk are intertwined cogwheels: they influence and counteract each other. Depending on the involved investment decisions, the focus can be on either one of them, but the effect will always  impact both. That’s why this problem is sometimes referred to as the Risk-Return Trade-Off “No Risk, No Return”.     For example, RRR=0.1 means that an investor should be prepared to lose $1 for the prospect of earning $10. Here, Risk is the difference between entry point for the trade and the stop-loss order [1]. The unrealistic zero value Risk=0 refers to the theoretical rate of return of an absolut...
