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

If for example n = 100 we would need 4750 parameters‚ and if n = 1000 we would need 501‚ 500 parameters! At best we could try to estimate these‚ but how? In fact‚ it is easy to see

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

2 MODELS FOR THE VALUATION OF SHARES. 2.1 The concept of a cost of equity The cost of equity is the cost to the company of providing equity holders with the return they require on their investment. The primary financial objective is to maximize the return to equity shareholders. This return is as the future dividend yield and capital growth. Until new shareholders become members of the company‚ the objective above is concerned with existing shareholders. Company management will need to offer

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

This relationship serves two significant functions. First‚ it provides a benchmark rate of return for evaluating possible investments.

Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is one of the economic models used to determine the market price for risk and the appropriate measure of risk for a single asset. The CAPM shows that the equilibrium rates of return on all risky assets are function of their covariance with the market portfolio. This theory helps us understand why expected returns change through time. Furthermore‚ this model is developed in a hypothetical world with many assumptions. The Sharp-Lintner-Black CAPM states that the expected

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
