First‚ demonstrating the fact that the total variance of a portfolio approaches the systematic variance as diversification increases‚ which means diversifying across industries offer benefit over diversifying within a given industry. Second‚ using the figures estimated to testify that the CAPM works in practice. The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) provides

Study 3 According to the capital Asset pricing model (CAPM)‚ the risk associated with a capital asset is proportional to the slope obtaining by regressing the asset’s past returns with the corresponding returns of the average portfolio called the market portfolio. (The return of the market portfolio represents the return earned by the average investor. It is a weighted average of the returns from all the assets in the market). The larger the slope of an asset‚ the larger is the risk associated

1."Why is expected return considered forward-looking? What are the challenges for practitioners to utilize expected return?" (Cornett‚ Adair‚ and Nofsinger‚ 2012‚ p. 246). Expected return is “forward-looking” in the sense that it represents the return investors expect to receive in the future as compensation for the market risk taken. The challenge is that practitioners cannot precisely know what the future holds and thus what the expected return should be. Thus‚ we create methods to estimate the

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
