Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is a financial model that establishes a linear relationship between the expected return of an asset and its systematic risk, represented by Beta (β). The formula is expressed as:
Expected Return (E(R)) = Risk-Free Rate (Rf) + Beta (β) * (Market Return (E(Rm)) – Risk-Free Rate (Rf))
Where:
- Risk-Free Rate (Rf): The return on an investment with zero risk, typically represented by government Bonds.
- Beta (β): A measure of an asset’s volatility in relation to the market
