Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)

 Equilibrium model that underlies modern

financial theory

 Derived using principles of diversification with

simplified assumptions

CAPM - Assumptions
 Individual investors  Information is
are price takers costless and
 Single-period available to all
investment horizon investors
 Investments are  Investors are
limited to traded rational mean-
financial assets variance optimizers
 No taxes and  There are

CAPM - Resulting Equilibrium Conditions

 All investors will hold the same portfolio of

risky assets – market portfolio
 Market portfolio contains all securities and the
proportion of each security is its market value
as a percentage of total market value
 Risk premium on the market will depend on
the average risk aversion of all market
participants
 The risk premium on individual assets will be
proportional to the market risk premium and
to the beta of the security in the market
portfolio.

Expected Return and Risk on

Individual Securities
 The risk premium on a security is a function of
the security’s contribution to the risk of the
market portfolio,
E (ri )  rf   i ( E (rM )  rf )
Cov(ri , rM )
 where  i 
 M2
 Does the firm-specific risk of a security matter to
investors holding a well-diversified portfolio? No!
 A security’s total risk (2i) can be partitioned into
systematic and unsystematic risk:
2i = i2 M2 + 2(ei)

Beta is 1.25 for Stock X and 0.6 for stock Y. Find
the equilibrium expected returns for the stocks,
given the following information:
E(rm) - rf = 0.08, rf = 0.03

Stock X:
E(rx) = 0.03 + 1.25(0.08) = 0.13 or 13%
Stock Y:
E(ry) = 0.03 + 0.6(0.08) = 0.078 or 7.8%

Suppose Stock Z has  = 1.25, and

offers an expected return of 15%
According to the SML, the
equilibrium expected return for the
stock should be 13%

Portfolio Betas
The beta of a portfolio with n securities is equal to the
weighted average of the betas of these securities, i.e.,
n
p  w i 1
i i

Example: If you put 50% of your money in a

stock with a beta of 1.5 and 30% of your money
in a stock with a beta of 0.9 and the rest in T-
bills, what is the portfolio beta?
βP =0.50(1.5) + 0.30(0.9) + 0.20(0) = 1.02

The Single-Index Model and

Realized Returns
 Use historical data to estimate beta. As
such, move from expected to historical
realized returns, and use the index model
in excess return form:
Ri  i  i RM  ei
where Ri  ri  rf , RM  rM  rf , ei is an error term.
 Note: ri, rM, and rf are historical realized
returns on security i, market index M,
and risk-free rate for the same time
period t.

Single-Index Model:
Security Characteristic Line (SCL)
 With the use of historical data on a
security, market index, and risk-free
rate (typically past 5 year data), obtain
the estimates of αi and βi, and define
SCL as
y  i  i x

 SCL is also called the regression line.

Evaluating the CAPM

 The CAPM is “false” based on the
validity of its assumptions
 The CAPM could still be a useful
predictor of expected returns. That is
an empirical question.
 Huge measurability problems because the
market portfolio is unobservable.
 Conclusion: As a theory the CAPM is
untestable.

Evaluating the CAPM

 The principles we learn from the CAPM are
still entirely valid.
 Investors should diversify.
 Systematic risk is the risk that matters.

 A well diversified risky portfolio can be suitable

for a wide range of investors.
 The risky portfolio would have to be adjusted for tax
and liquidity differences.
 Differences in risk tolerances can be handled by
changing the asset allocation decisions in the
complete portfolio.
 Even if the CAPM is “false,” the markets can
still be “efficient.”
