The note is for module FM429/FM430/FM431 Corporate Finance and Asset Markets offered at the London School of Economics and Political Science. It includes a nice and easy-to-read summary of lecture notes and compulsory readings in bullet points. The note covers all the three modules. It clarifies all the concept and listed out all the equation you need to know for the exam, saving you a lot of time in preparing the exam which covers both MT and LT. I used this note to get 85 for the module! Perfect for last-minute revision if you run out of time making your own one!

,Topic 1 Present Values

Present Value
- $1 today =/= $1 in the future
- PV is sensitive to the interest rate
' '-
- 𝑃𝑉# = 𝐶# + ( + ⋯ + -
)*+( ()*+- )
- 𝐹𝑉1 = 𝑃𝑉# ∗ 1 + 𝑟 1 = 𝐶# (1 + 𝑟)1 + 𝐶) (1 + 𝑟)15) + ⋯ + 𝐶1
- Interest rates don’t have to be constant, depends on term structure (R as a function of T)
- Risky cashflows have to be discounted using risky rate, not risk-free rate

Attitude Towards Risk
- People care about reference points
- People overweigh small probabilities

APR vs EAR
- APR is a quote rate, no compounding effect
- EAR = Monthly (compounding) APR is a true rate, with compounding effect
- EAR always > APR
9:; 1 9:; 1
- 1 + 𝐸𝐴𝑅 = (1 + ) => 𝐸𝐴𝑅 = (1 + ) −1
1 1


Real vs Nominal Dollars
- Nominal $ = regular $ Real $ = $ adjusted for inflation
)*BCDEBFG +FHI
- 1 + 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 =
)*EBJGFHECB +FHI
- Discount real (nominal) CF using real (nominal) rate

Perpetuities
- Stream of constant cash flows, starting one period from today, lasting forever
'
- 𝑃𝑉# = ( , where r > g
+5K
- First cash flow comes one period from today
- If C1 is annual CF, use annual rate r etc…

Annuities
- Stream of constant cash flows, starting one period from today, lasting for T periods
' ) ' ) ) ' )*K
- 𝑃𝑉# = − -

] With growth: 𝑃𝑉# = [ 1 − ( )1 ]
+ )*+ + + + )*+ +5K )*+
- First cash flow comes one period from today
- If C is annual CF, use annual rate r etc…

Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
- Discount rate in the PV calculation that makes the PV equal to 0, or project specific rate
- Decreasing function (PV against r)
- IRR = r: Breakeven IRR > r: Accept IRR < r: Reject

,Topic 2 Fixed-Income Securities

Type of Bond
Corporate Bond (Involves default risk)
- Zero-Coupon Bond: Promises a single cash flow and face value at maturity, always issue at par
- Coupon Bond: Promises a periodic cash flow (coupon) and face value at maturity
Treasury Bond (Risk-free)
- Treasury bills (1yr, no C), Treasury note (1-10yrs, semi C), Treasury bond (>10 yrs, semi C)

Term Structure of Spot Rates (Yield Curve)
- T-year spot rate is the annual interest rate for year t
- Yield curve represents the spot rates as a function of maturity
- Can have many shapes, generally slopes up (longer maturities have higher spot rates)
- Spots rates, for both short & long maturities, move substantially over time (daily news)

Forward Rates
- Spot rates = Today’s rate
- Forward rates = Rates guaranteed today for investing in the future
- Forward rates can be derived from spot rates 1 + 𝑟H H (1 + H𝑓1 )1 = (1 + 𝑟H*1 )H*1

Synthetic Replication
- Absence of arbitrage (no making money out of nothing), Law of one price
- A portfolio of zero-coupon bond synthetically creates a replicating portfolio for coupon bond
- A portfolio of coupon bond synthetically creates a replicating portfolio for zero-coupon bond

Yield to Maturity (YTM) & Return
- A single discount rate that equates the PV of the bond’s CF to the bond’s price (i.e. bond’s IRR)
- A complicated average of the spot rates
- If C is annual, YTM is quoted as annual APR etc…
- For zero coupon bond: YTM is the return of investing in the bond & holding until maturity
- For coupon bond: YTM is the return of investing in the bond & hold until maturity & reinvesting coupon
at a rate equal to YTM

YTM & Coupon Rate
- Coupon Rate > YTM Price > Par Value Premium
- Coupon Rate = YTM Price = Par Value Par
- Coupon Rate < YTM Price < Par Value Discount

YTM & Default Risk
- Bond with default risk has lower price, higher YTM than an identical bond with no default risk
- Default spread = Difference in YTM of the same risky & risk-free bond

Corporate Bonds
- Involve default risk, corporation fails to pay the promised cash flows
- Valuation: Use expected cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rates
- Investment grade bonds: Aaa-Baa (Moody’s), AAA-BBB (S&P)
- Speculative grade (Junk) bonds: Ba (Moody’s), BB (S&P)

,Interest Rate & Bond Price
1. Bond prices are negatively related to interest rate (↑rate ↓PV / Investor sell bond when IR↑)
2. Interest rate sensitivity of bond prices ↑ with maturity (PV of long term bond is discounted heavier)
3. Bonds prices less sensitive to interest rate change with a higher coupon rate

Macaulay Duration & Modified Duration
R
- 𝐷 = 1HQ) 𝑤H 𝑡 𝐷∗ = where r is the current interest rate ∆𝑃 ≈ −𝑃𝐷∗ ∆𝑟
)*+
- Weighted average of the years where bond pays cash flows
- Effective maturity: Year around which the bond’s discounted CF are balanced
- Provides good approximation to actual change ONLY for a small shift in term structure (as Linear D)
1. Zero coupon bond with T year to maturity: D = T
2. ↑Time to Maturity → ↑D (Generally, not always)
3. ↑Coupon rate → ↓D

Convexity
- Convexity in addition to duration better approximate change in P

Immunization Using Duration (Making one insensitive to interest rate movement)
𝐶𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝐼𝑚𝑚𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑧𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 = 𝐵𝑢𝑑𝑔𝑒𝑡 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛 / 𝐸𝑥𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝐶𝑎𝑠ℎ
-
∆𝐴 = ∆𝐿 → −𝐴𝐷9∗ ∆𝑟 = −𝐿𝐷i∗ ∆𝑟 → 𝐴𝐷9∗ = 𝐿𝐷i∗

Topic 3 Stock Valuation

Stocks
- Common stocks, Non-voting stock, Preferred stock (Claim after debtholder, before common)
- Voting right, Rights to dividends, Limited liability
- Dividends vs Debt interest: Discretionary vs Mandatory, Non tax-deductible vs deductible
- Stock vs Bond: Stocks perform worse at bad time, Stock is risker -> higher return on avg

Stock Returns
- Return = Dividend payment + Capital gain
R *(: 5: )
- 𝑟= ( ( j
:j


Facts of Stocks
- Stocks with higher SD tend to have higher average return (i.e. High risk high return)
- Holding a diversified portfolio, can reduce risk without lowering expected return (i.e. Diversification)

Covariance & Correlation
u
nCo(p,q) tv((pt 5p)(qt 5q)
- 𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑟 𝑋, 𝑌 = 𝑐𝑜𝑣 𝑋, 𝑌 =
rR p ∗rR(q) w5)
- Cov: Positive if X&Y tend to be high at the same time, Negative if X is high Y is low or vice versa
- Corr: 1 (-1) if exact positive (negative) linear relationship btw X&Y

Valuation Input: Expected Return r (By CAPM)

Topic 4 Portfolio Theory

Portfolio Return
- Weighted average of returns on individual stocks
- Weight sum to 1, with negative weights for stocks that are sold short

Expected Variance
- Variance of portfolio depends on variance of individuals stocks, and their covariances
- 𝜎(𝑅)W = 𝑤)W 𝜎(𝑅) )W + 𝑤WW 𝜎(𝑅W )W + 2𝑤) 𝑤W 𝜌(𝑅) , 𝑅W )𝜎(𝑅) )𝜎(𝑅W ) 2 Stocks
W W W
- 𝜎(𝑅) = BQ) 𝑤B 𝜎(𝑅B ) + 2 B•D 𝑤B 𝑤D 𝜌(𝑅B , 𝑅D )𝜎(𝑅B )𝜎(𝑅D ) Multiple stocks

Pros and Cons of Diversification
Pros
- Diversification can reduce risk substantially, compared with holding a pure individual stock
- Diversification does not necessarily reduce expected return
- Diversification outside group of assets is more effective in reducing risk
Cons
- Only idiosyncratic risk (particular company/industry) can be diversified but not systematic (mkt) risk
- When correlation between stocks in a portfolio is > 0, always limit to diversification

Mean-Variance Optimisation
Choosing Stock Portfolio
Step 1: Given expected return, choose the portfolio with minimum variance -> Portfolio frontier
Step 2: Choose the best portfolio on the PF by trading off risk & return

Portfolio Frontier
- 2 assets: Any portfolio is a frontier portfolio because no other portfolio having same E[R]
- Short sales: PF becomes hyperbola
- > 2 assets: Not all portfolios are frontier portfolios, adding assets shifts PF to the left



5

, Portfolio Frontier with a Riskless Assets
- 1 = Weight of Riskless Assets (w) + Weight of Risky Assets (1-w)
- Optimisation problem: Min variance (Cov of Rf asset is 0 with all risky assets)
- 𝜎(𝑅)W = 𝑤 W 𝜎 W (𝑅+E€•‚ ƒC+H ) 𝐸 𝑅 = 𝑤𝐸 𝑅+E€•‚ ƒC+H + (1 − 𝑤)𝑅J [Insert Graph pp35-36]
- PF links riskless assets with the tangent portfolio
- All frontier portfolios are combination of riskless asset & TP (with the highest sharpe ratio)
- Should choose portfolio on PF & trade off risk and return (assuming care only mean & variance)

Topic 5 CAPM

Market Portfolio
D•H nFƒ CJ F nCDƒFB‚
- Value-weighted portfolio of N risky assets 𝑤𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 =
HCHFG D•H nFƒ CJ FGG nCDƒFBEI€
- Market risk premium = E[Rm] – Rf
- Beta of market portfolio = 1

𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧: 𝑹𝒏 − 𝑹𝒇 = 𝜶𝒏 + 𝜷𝒏 (𝑹𝒎 − 𝑹𝒇 ) + 𝝐𝒏
- Alpha: Measures asset’s attractiveness, CAPM says alpha = 0 (no under/overvalue, fairly priced)
'Co(;Š ,;Ÿ )
- Beta: Systematic risk; Measure asset’s sensitivity to market movements 𝐵B =
‰F+(;Ÿ )
- Sigma: Idiosyncratic risk; Standard deviation

CAPM Assumptions
1. There are N risky assets and 1 riskless asset
2. Trading (including shorting) of assets is costless
3. Investors care about mean & variance
4. Investors have the same info & beliefs
5. Investors have an one-period horizon

Market Equilibrium
- Investors care about mean & variance
- They choose portfolio (tangent portfolio + riskless assets)
- Very risk averse: P close to riskless A, Not very risk averse: P closer to Tangent P, even above TP
- Demand: Combination of tangent portfolio & riskless assets
- Supply: Total market cap of market portfolio + Market cap of the riskless asset
- At equilibrium, D=S →Tangent portfolio = Market portfolio

CAPM’s Key Insight
- Only systematic risk is priced in the market (i.e. relevant measure of A risk = beta, not Var)
- 0 beta: E[R] = Rf as idiosyncratic risk can be diversified → No contribution to portfolio risk
- + (-)beta: ↑(↓) E[R], asset that goes with the same (opp) direction as the market ↑(↓)portfolio risk
- Linearity: Asset’s expected excess return is a multiple of the market risk premium
- Alpha: If E[R] > E[R] given by CAPM → Positive 𝛼 → Underpriced → Invest
