2. 2 Explaining Relative Prices 1.CAPM – Capital Asset Pricing Model 2.Non Standard Forms of the CAPM 3.APT – Arbitrage Pricing Theory

3. 3 Assumptions behind the CAPM 1.No transaction costs 2.Assets are infinitely divisible 3.No personal taxes 4.Price Takers 5.Investors look only at expected return and variances of their portfolio 6.Unlimited short sales 7.Unlimited lending and borrowing at the riskless Rate 8.Homogenous Expectations about time horizon 9.Homogenous expectations of expected return, variance, and covariance 10.All assets are marketable

4. 4 Sharpe – Lintner – Mossine (CAPM) Two Approaches to deriving 1.Economic intuition 2.Rigorous analysis

7. 7 A more rigorous proof Lintner Equation

8. 8 Homogenous Expectations

9. 9 Must hold for all securities and portfolios

10. 10 Non standard forms of the CAPM 1.May do a better job 2.Even if the CAPM explains return; macro behavior might not explain micro behavior – e.g., everybody does not hold market portfolio 3.If we don’t include influences in the model, e.g., taxes we can’t study the impact of their influences on the model If the CAPM does a good job of explaining return why bother

11. 11 Modification of assumptions 1.Short sales 2.Riskless lending and borrowing 3.Personal taxes 4.Non marketable assets 5.Heterogeneous expectations 6.Non price taking behavior 7.Multi period analysis 8.Consumption CAPM Rolls critique

12. 12 Short Sales Since under the standard CAPM nobody short sells in equilibrium

15. 15 Is a rate – such that if we could lend or borrow at it we would hold the market portfolio Lintner Equation But for zero beta so

17. 17 by convexity of efficient frontier

18. 18 is greater than 0 and smaller than 1 Global minimum variance involves positive investment in market and zero beta portfolios and therefore, expected return must be in between.
