7. Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) describes the relationship between systematic risk
and expected return for assets, particularly stocks. CAPM is widely used throughout finance for pricing
risky securities and generating expected returns for assets given the risk of those assets and cost of
capital. Pricing Model is used to calculate the asset’s rate of profit or rate of return (ROI). Investors
expect to be compensated for risk and the time value of money. The risk-free rate in the CAPM formula
accounts for the time value of money.
In Capital Asset Pricing Model, the asset responds only to: (Assumption)
• Market risks or non-diversifiable risks often represented by beta
• Expected return of the market
• Expected rate of return of an asset with no risks involved
8. The beta of a potential investment is a measure of how much risk the investment will add to a
portfolio that looks like the market. If a stock is riskier than the market, it will have a beta
greater than one. If a stock has a beta of less than one, the formula assumes it will reduce the
risk of a portfolio.
10. Key Elements of Portfolio Management
• Asset Allocation: The key to effective portfolio management is the long-term mix of assets. Asset allocation is
based on the understanding that different types of assets do not move in concert, and some are more volatile than
others.
• Diversification: The only certainty in investing is it is impossible to consistently predict the winners and losers,
so the prudent approach is to create a basket of investments that provide broad exposure within an asset
class. Diversification is the spreading of risk and reward within an asset class,
• Rebalancing is a method used to return a portfolio to its original target allocation at annual intervals. It is
important for retaining the asset mix that best reflects an investor’s risk/return profile. Otherwise, the movements
of the markets could expose the portfolio to greater risk or reduced return opportunities.
