Defining an Investment
A current commitment of $ for a period of time in order to derive future payments that will compensate for:
the time the funds are committed the expected rate of inflation uncertainty of future flow of funds.

A Portfolio of Investments
The mean historical rate of return for a portfolio of investments is measured as the weighted average of the HPYs for the individual investments in the portfolio.

Risk Aversion
The assumption that most investors will choose the least risky alternative, all else being equal and that they will not accept additional risk unless they are compensated in the form of higher return

Business Risk
Uncertainty of income flows caused by the nature of a firms business Sales volatility and operating leverage determine the level of business risk.
Financial Risk
Uncertainty caused by the use of debt financing. Borrowing requires fixed payments which must be paid ahead of payments to stockholders. The use of debt increases uncertainty of stockholder income and causes an increase in the stocks risk premium.
Liquidity Risk
Uncertainty is introduced by the secondary market for an investment.
How long will it take to convert an investment into cash? How certain is the price that will be received?
Country Risk
Political risk is the uncertainty of returns caused by the possibility of a major change in the political or economic environment in a country. Individuals who invest in countries that have unstable political-economic systems must include a country risk-premium when determining their required rate of return

The market risk premium for the market portfolio (contains all the risky assets in the market) can be computed: RPm = E(Rm)- NRFR where: RPm = risk premium on the market portfolio E(Rm) = expected return on the market portfolio NRFR = expected return on a risk-free asset
