The Capital Asset Pricing Model
The Capital Asset Pricing Model Assumptions Markets are competitive, equally profitable No investor is wealthy enough to individually affect prices All information publicly available; all securities public No taxes on returns, no transaction costs Unlimited borrowing/lending at risk-free rate Investors are alike except for initial wealth, risk aversion Investors plan for single-period horizon; they are rational, mean-variance optimizers Use same inputs, consider identical portfolio opportunity sets
The Capital Asset Pricing Model Hypothetical Equilibrium All investors choose to hold market portfolio Market portfolio is on efficient frontier, optimal risky portfolio
The Capital Asset Pricing Model Hypothetical Equilibrium Risk premium on market portfolio is proportional to variance of market portfolio and investor’s risk aversion Risk premium on individual assets Proportional to risk premium on market portfolio Proportional to beta coefficient of security on market portfolio
7-6 Figure 7.1 Efficient Frontier and Capital Market Line
The Capital Asset Pricing Model Passive Strategy is Efficient Mutual fund theorem: All investors desire same portfolio of risky assets, can be satisfied by single mutual fund composed of that portfolio If passive strategy is costless and efficient, why follow active strategy? If no one does security analysis, what brings about efficiency of market portfolio?
The Capital Asset Pricing Model Risk Premium of Market Portfolio Demand drives prices, lowers expected rate of return/risk premiums When premiums fall, investors move funds into risk-free asset Equilibrium risk premium of market portfolio proportional to Risk of market Risk aversion of average investor
The Capital Asset Pricing Model
The Capital Asset Pricing Model The Security Market Line (SML) Represents expected return-beta relationship of CAPM Graphs individual asset risk premiums as function of asset risk Alpha Abnormal rate of return on security in excess of that predicted by equilibrium model (CAPM)
7-11 Figure 7.2 The SML and a Positive-Alpha Stock
The Capital Asset Pricing Model Applications of CAPM Use SML as benchmark for fair return on risky asset SML provides “hurdle rate” for internal projects

CAPM and Index Models Predicting Betas Mean reversion Betas move towards mean over time To predict future betas, adjust estimates from historical data to account for regression towards 1.0
CAPM and the Real World CAPM is false based on validity of its assumptions Useful predictor of expected returns Untestable as a theory Principles still valid Investors should diversify Systematic risk is the risk that matters Well-diversified risky portfolio can be suitable for wide range of investors

Arbitrage Pricing Theory Arbitrage Relative mispricing creates riskless profit Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) Risk-return relationships from no-arbitrage considerations in large capital markets Well-diversified portfolio Nonsystematic risk is negligible Arbitrage portfolio Positive return, zero-net-investment, risk-free portfolio
