    The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is a model used to determine the appropriate required rate of return for an asset based on the asset's sensitivity to non-diversifiable risk compared to the expected return of the market. The model takes into account the asset's beta, as well as the expected return of the market and the expected return of a theoretical risk-free asset. The CAPM was introduced independently in the early 1960s and built upon Harry Markowitz's modern portfolio theory.

    Capital asset pricing model

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    An estimation of the CAPM and the Security Market Line (purple) for the Dow Jones Industrial Average over 3 years for monthly data.

    In finance, the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is used to determine a theoretically appropriate required rate of return of an asset, if that asset is to be added to an already well-diversified portfolio, given that asset's non-diversifiable risk. The model takes into account the asset's sensitivity to nondiversifiablerisk (also known as systematic risk or market risk), often represented by the quantity beta ( ) in the financial industry, as well as the expected return of the market and the expected return of a theoretical risk-free asset. The model was introduced by Jack Treynor (1961, 1962),[1] William Sharpe (1964), John Lintner (1965a,b) and Jan Mossin (1966) independently, building on the earlier work of Harry Markowitz on diversification and modern portfolio theory. Sharpe, Markowitz and Merton Miller jointly received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics for this contribution to the field of financial economics.
