The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) serves as a model for the pricing of risky securities. CAPM believes 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 the required return, the investment should not be taken. The CAPM helps us to calculate investment risk and what return we can expect on the investment we have invested in. Systematic Risk is risk in the market that cannot be avoided. Some
Harry Markowitz is highly regarded as a pioneer in theoretical justification of investor’s behavior and development of optimization model for portfolio selection process. In 1990, Markowitz shared a Nobel Prize for his contributions to financial economics and corporate finance, the first time presented in his “Portfolio Selection” (1952) and more extensively in his monography “Portfolio Selection: Efficient Diversification (1959). His seminal works formed the foundation of what is now popularly known
1. Introduction The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is an asset pricing model that was first introduced by William Sharpe (1964) and John Lintner (1965). Despite more than four decades has passed, CAPM is still very popular as this model helps to estimate the cost of capital for companies and individual and it helps to assess the performance of the portfolio (Fama & French, 2004). However, empirical evidence has proved that it is not very realistic as it is based on very strong assumptions and
Introduction William Sharp (1964) and John Lintner (1965) develop the Capital Asset Pricing Model, which also pioneered the birth of asset pricing models. CAPM was inferred based upon the Markowitz’s (1959) theory. The theory pointed out that investors are risk averse and they are trying to find a portfolio, containing risky assets that will maximize the portfolio expected return for a given level of portfolio risk. Capital Asset Pricing Model assumes investors are risk averse and it also states how investors
The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) serves as a model for the pricing of risky securities. CAPM believes 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, the investment should not be taken. The CAPM helps us to calculate investment risk and what return on investment we should expect. Systematic Risk is market risks that cannot be diversified away. Interest rates
Development of CAPM The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) was introduced by William Sharpe (1964) and John Lintner (1965). They built on the earlier work done by Harry Markowitz (1952, 1959) and James Tobin (1958) in the area of Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT). Tobin’s (1958) seperation theorem suggests the method in which investors, depending on their attitude towards risk, should form their portfolios by adjusting the propositions of their investments between a risk free asset and the market portfolio
Fisher Black and Myron C. Scholes. The Black-Scholes model is a mathematical model for the evaluation of financial options, which was published in 1973 and is considered a milestone in the financial industry. After four years, Myers was the first who introduced the concept of “real options” and pointed out the similarities between the financial options and real options. He defined in 1977 the real options as the opportunities to purchase real assets on possibly favorable terms and showed the possibility

The criticisms on the model are as follows: Walter’s model of share valuation blends dividend strategy with investment strategy of the company. The model expects that the investments chances
