Course Objectives The course aims to provide students with solid theoretical frameworks in asset pricing and other fields of finance. For asset pricing‚ the concepts of risk and return‚ and state prices will be introduced as a stepping stone towards the discussions of more advanced topics including the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)‚ the Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT)‚ and other more recent asset pricing models. Other topics in finance such as options and behavior finance may also be covered on an

(section B)): The Capital Asset Pricing Model holds in economies satisfying a certain set of conditions. State four of these conditions and identify why they are essential for the model to hold (you are not expected to derive the entire model but you must identify the steps in the theory where these conditions play an important role). Under 7 sets of key assumptions‚ we know that all agents will hold a particular market portfolio‚ which consists of the same proportion of risky assets. Moreover‚ there

Introduction Economic models are always intended to simplify the real-world complex economic issues and provide efficient information to the users‚ and such role is taken by Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) as well. The CAPM is the key theory in the stock market and industries; it is widely used by analysts‚ investors and corporations. In this essay I am going to discuss the recent developments about the CAPM‚ and refer to both advantages and disadvantages. Capital Asset Pricing Model The initial development

Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM): Pros and Cons. CAPM defines the relationship between risk and return. The premise of the model is that the expected investment return varies in direct proportion to its risk‚ i.e.‚ the riskier the investment - the higher the return you should expect. Shows: • how much risk you are taking when investing in an instrument? • whether the instrument is rightly priced • whether you are getting sufficient return for the risk you are taking CAPM calculates the

paper has argued that to claim whether the CAPM is dead or alive‚ some improvements on the model must be considered. Rather than take the view that one theory is right and the other is wrong‚ it is probably more accurate to say that each applies in somewhat different circumstances (assumptions). Finally it’s argued that even the examination of the CAPM’s variants is unable to solve the debate into the model. Rather than asserting the death or the survival of the CAPM‚ we conclude that there is no
