Capital Asset Pricing Model - CAPM

    0.06 sec.
Capital Asset Pricing Model - CAPM
A model describing the relationship between risk and expected return that is used in the pricing of risky securities.



Notes:
The CAPM says that the expected return of a security or a portfolio equals the rate on a risk-free security plus a risk premium. If this expected return does not meet or beat the required return then the investment should not be undertaken. The security market line (SML) plots the results of the CAPM.

There are books and research papers written entirely on the CAPM and how to determine the risk premium for various securities.
