The Capital Asset Pricing Model
INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS
9-*
Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
- It is the equilibrium model that underlies all modern financial theory
- Derived using principles of diversification with simplified assumptions
- Markowitz, Sharpe, Lintner and Mossin are researchers credited with its development
*
INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS
9-*
Assumptions
- Investors optimize portfolios a la Markowitz
- Investors use identical input list for efficient frontier
- Same risk-free rate, tangent CAL and risky portfolio
- Market portfolio is aggregation of all risky portfolios and has same weights
INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS
9-*
Resulting Equilibrium Conditions
- All investors will hold the same portfolio for risky assets – market portfolio
- Market portfolio contains all securities and the proportion of each security is its market value as a percentage of total market value

Market Risk Premium
- The risk premium on the market portfolio will be proportional to its risk and the degree of risk aversion of the investor:
E(RM) = Ᾱσ2M
Where σ2M is the variance of the market portfolio and Ᾱ is the average degree of risk aversion across investors
INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS

Return and Risk For Individual Securities
- The risk premium on individual securities is a function of the individual security’s contribution to the risk of the market portfolio.
- An individual security’s risk premium is a function of the covariance of returns with the assets that make up the market portfolio.

GE Example
- Covariance of GE return with the market portfolio:
- Therefore, the reward-to-risk ratio for investments in GE would be:

GE Example
- Reward-to-risk ratio for investment in market portfolio:
- Reward-to-risk ratios of GE and the market portfolio should be equal:

GE Example
- The risk premium for GE:
- Restating, we obtain:

Expected Return-Beta Relationship
- CAPM holds for the overall portfolio because:
- This also holds for the market portfolio:

Single-Index Model and Realized Returns
- To move from expected to realized returns, use the index model in excess return form:
- The index model beta coefficient is the same as the beta of the CAPM expected return-beta relationship.
INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS
9-*
Assumptions of the CAPM
- Individuals
- Mean-variance optimizers
- Homogeneous expectations
- All assets are publicly traded
- Markets
- All assets are publicly held
- All information is available
- No taxes
- No transaction costs

Extensions of the CAPM
- Zero-Beta Model
- Helps to explain positive alphas on low beta stocks and negative alphas on high beta stocks
- Consideration of labor income and non-traded assets
INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS
9-*
Extensions of the CAPM
- Merton’s Multiperiod Model and hedge portfolios
- Incorporation of the effects of changes in the real rate of interest and inflation
- Consumption-based CAPM
- Rubinstein, Lucas, and Breeden
- Investors allocate wealth between consumption today and investment for the future
INVESTMENTS | BODIE, KANE, MARCUS
9-*
Liquidity and the CAPM
- Liquidity: The ease and speed with which an asset can be sold at fair market value
- Illiquidity Premium: Discount from fair market value the seller must accept to obtain a quick sale.
- Measured partly by bid-asked spread
- As trading costs are higher, the illiquidity discount will be greater.

Liquidity Risk
- In a financial crisis, liquidity can unexpectedly dry up.
- When liquidity in one stock decreases, it tends to decrease in other stocks at the same time.
- Investors demand compensation for liquidity risk
- Liquidity betas

CAPM and World
- Academic world
- Cannot observe all tradable assets
- Impossible to pin down market portfolio
- Attempts to validate using regression analysis
- Investment Industry
- Relies on the single-index CAPM model
- Most investors don’t beat the index portfolio
