Lower levels of expected risk are associated with lower expected returns. This RISK-RETURN RELATIONSHIP is characterized as being a direct relationship

as CAPM is essentially an equilibrium relationship between expected return and risk of an asset and that is used in the pricing of risky securities. CAPM is the result of William Sharpe (1964) and John Lintner (1965). Sharpe took the Nobel prize in 1990 for the asset pricing theory. CAPM is used for a range of applications and purposes‚ these include estimating the cost of equity capitals for firms as well as evaluating the performance of managed portfolios.

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
