Response Essay Format – 3rd IT YIELds 2020 Name : Maulana Ramaditya Bahri Institution: Diponegoro University Speaker : Assoc Prof. Dr. Imamudin Yuliadi Topic : Risk and return relationship The important information that I obtained from the speaker is to know about risk and return relationship. First, we must know about total risk. The total risk is a variability in returns of a security represents the total risk of that security. Systematic risk and unsystematic risk are the two components of total risk. Thus we write that Total Risk = Systematic risk + Unsystematic risk. Next, there are a systematic risk. The portion of the variability of return of a security that is caused by external factors is called systematic risk. It’s also known as market risk or non-diversifiable risk. Economic and political instability economic recession, macro policy of the government, etc affect the price of all shares systematically. Thus the variation of retrun in shares, which is caused by these factors is called systematic risk. And, there are the non-systematic risk too. The return from a security sometimes varies because of certain factors affecting only the company issuing such security like raw material scarcity, labour strike, and management efficiency etc. when variability of returns occurs because of such film-spesific factors, it is known as unsystematic risk.
