The Capital Asset Pricing Model commonly known as CAPM defines the relationship between risk and the return for individual securities. CAPM was first published by William Sharpe in 1964. CAPM extended “Harry Markowitz’s portfolio theory” to include the notions of specific and systematic risk. CAPM is a very useful tool that has enabled financial analysts or the independent investors to evaluate the risk of a specific investment while at the same time setting a specific rate of return with respect

estimated to testify that the CAPM works in practice. The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) provides us with an insight into the relationship between the risk of an asset and its expected return. This relationship serves two significant functions. First‚ it provides a benchmark rate of return for evaluating possible investments. Second‚ the model helps us to make an educated guess as to the expected return on asset that have not yet been traded in the marketplace. Although the CAPM is widely used because

pricing model (CAPM) Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model‚ we need to keep three things in mind. 1 there is a basic reward for waiting‚ the risk free rate. 2 the greater the risk‚ the greater the expected reward. 3 there is a consisted trade off between risk and reward. In finance‚ It is used to determine a theoretically appropriate required rate of return of an asset‚ if that asset is to be added to an already well-diversified portfolio‚ given that asset’s non-diversifiable risk. The CAPM says that

CAPM CAPM provides a framework for measuring the systematic risk of an individual security and relate it to the systematic risk of a well-diversified portfolio. The risk of individual securities is measured by β (beta). Thus‚ the equation for security market line (SML) is: E(Rj) = Rf + [E(Rm) – Rf] βj (Equation 1) Where E(Rj) is the expected return on security j‚ Rf the risk-free rate of interest‚ Rm the expected return on the market portfolio and βj the undiversifiable risk of security

The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM): What Is It? How Does It Work? And Does It Work Effectively? In 1960‚ a doctoral candidate in economics at the University of California‚ Los Angeles by the name of William F. Sharpe needed a dissertation topic. After reading a 1952 paper on portfolio theory by Harry Markowitz entitled Portfolio Selection‚ Sharpe had found his idea. Markowitz ’s paper presented the notion of an "efficient frontier" of optimal investment that advocated a diversified portfolio

2 Investor Objectives 2.1. Measuring Investor Returns We understand that firms should attempt to maximize investor wealth. But‚ while we now have a strategic goal‚ we have a little way to go before we can turn it into an action plan. Companies generate uncertain cash flows over very long time horizons; we need a way of turning these risky income streams into equivalent quantities of hard cash. We will do this in two stages. We start with a careful discussion of interest rates‚ which will enable

CAPM is a model which enables investors to determine the expected return from a risky security. It observes the relationship between the risk of an asset (Mobil Oil) and its return. The model uses Beta as the main measure of risk. This model works under the following situations: • In a perfectively competitive market where they are many price-takers’ investors‚ who have a small market share each. • Investors behaviour is myopic • Also investments included in the model are publicly
