The Capital Asset Pricing Model is an elegant theory with profound implications for asset pricing and investor behavior. But how useful is the model given the idealized world that underlies its derivation? There are several ways to answer this question. First, we can examine whether real world asset prices and investor portfolios conform to the

The above equilibrium model for portfolio analysis is called the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). 1 1.1 Capital market line and CAPM formula Let (σ M,r M) denote the point corresponding to the market portfolio M. All portfolios chosen by a rational investor will have a point (σ,r) that lies on the so-called capital market line r = r f + r ...
