ARBITRAGE PRICING THEORY ( APT ) Originally developed by Stephen A. Ross. The CAPM predicts that security rates of return will be linearly related to a single common factor : ----- the rate of return on the market portfolio. The APT is based on a similar approach but assumes the rate of return on a security to be sensitive to a number of factors. Market equilibrium is driven by individuals eliminating arbitrage

“The APT is derived from the premises that asset returns follow a linear returns generating process‚ and that in well-functioning financial markets‚ there will be no arbitrage opportunities. On the basis of these assumptions‚ one can show that there is an equilibrium linear relationship between the returns on risky assets and a small set of economy-wide common factors. While several macroeconomic variables do have some relationship with different risky assets‚ the APT postulates that the pricing

Arbitrage Pricing Theory The fundamental foundation for the arbitrage pricing theory is the law of one price‚ which states that 2 identical items will sell for the same price‚ for if they do not‚ then a riskless profit could be made by arbitrage—buying the item in the cheaper market then selling it in the more expensive market. This principle also applies to financial instruments‚ such as stocks and bonds. For instance‚ if Microsoft stock is selling for $30 on one exchange‚ but $30.25 on another
