Derivation of the CAPM We know from Markowtiz’ framework concerning two-fund separation that each investor will have a utility-maximizing portfolio that is a combination of the risk free asset and the tangency portfolio. If all investors see the same capital allocation line‚ they will all have the same linear efficient set called the Capital Market Line (CML). This forms a linear relationship between expected return of the portfolio and the standard deviation. If market equilibrium is to exist we

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

of this paper will derive the validity of the Fama and French (FF) model and the efficiency of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). The comparison of the Fama and French Model and CAPM (Sharpe‚ 1964 & Lintner‚ 1965) uses real time data of stock market to practise its efficacy. The implication of the function in realistic conditions would justify the utility of the CAPM theory. The theory suggests that the expected return demanded by investors on a risky asset depends on the risk-free rate of interest

asset pricing model (CAPM) for researchers and practitioners. Markowitz (1952) argued that investors should be concerned with holding efficient portfolios‚ that is‚ a portfolio offering the highest expected return for each level of risk. Sharpe (1964) and Lintner (1965) took Markowitz’s work one step further to develop the CAPM to explain the relationship between systematic risk and expected return in financial markets. The CAPM is denoted by the following equation: The CAPM is used to determine

Although there were those who found it to be the norm‚ there isn’t an inch of doubt that slavery was an evil deed.

Summary 3 February 17‚ 2013 The article‚ “The Sharpe Ratio and the Information Ratio”‚ by Deborah Kidd is about the original risk-adjusted performance measure and they are Sharpe ratio and the Information Ratio. William Sharpe designed the first performance metric to insolate excess return per unit of total risk taken. The Sharpe ratio shows whether a portfolio ’s returns are due to smart investment decisions or a result of excess risk. The Sharpe ratio measure dividends average portfolio excess
