Our expectation
Risky asset i: Its price is such that:
E(return) = Risk-free rate of return + Risk premium specific toasset i
= R f + (Market price of risk)x(quantity of risk of asset i)
CAPM tells us 1) what is the price of risk?
2) what is the risk of asset i?

An example to motivateExpected Return Standard Deviation
Asset i 10.9% 4.45%
Asset j 5.4% 7.25%
E(return) = Risk-free rate of return + Risk premium specific to asset i= R f + (Market price of risk)x(quantity of risk of asset i)
Question: According to the above equation, given that asset j has higher riskrelative to asset i, why wouldnt asset j has higher expected return as well?
Possible Answers: (1) the equation, as intuitive as it is, is completelywrong.
(2) the equation is right. But market price of risk isdifferent for different assets.
(3) the equation is right. But quantity of risk of anyrisky asset is not equal to the standard deviation of its
return.

CAPMs AnswersE(return) = Risk-free rate of return + Risk premium specific to
asset i= R f + (Market price of risk)x(quantity of risk of asset
i)
The intuitive equation is right. The equilibrium price of risk is the
same across all marketable assets In the equation, the quantity of risk
of any asset, however, is only PART
of the total risk (s.d) of the asset.

CAPMs Answers
Specifically: Total risk = systematic risk + unsystematic risk
CAPM says:(1)Unsystematic risk can be diversified away. Since
there is no free lunch, if there is something youbear but can be avoided by diversifying at NO cost, the market will not reward the holder of
unsystematic risk at all.(2)Systematic risk cannot be diversified awaywithout cost. In other words, investors need to becompensated by a certain risk premium forbearing systematic risk.

CAPM resultsE(return) = Risk-free rate of return + Risk premium specific to asset i
= R f + (Market price of risk)x(quantity of risk of asset i)
Precisely:[1] Expected Return on asset i = E(R i )[2] Equilibrium Risk-free rate of return = R
f [3] Quantity of risk of asset i = COV(R i , R M )/Var(R M )[4] Market Price of risk = [E(R M )-R f ]
Thus, the equation known as the Capital Asset Pricing Model:
E(R i ) = R f + [E(R M )-R f ] x [COV(R i , R M )/Var(R M )]
Where [COV(R i, R M )/Var(R M )] is also known as BETA of asset I
Or
E(R i ) = R f + [E(R M )-R f ] x i

CAPM in Details:What is an equilibrium?
CONDITION 1: Individual investors equilibrium: Max U Assume: [1] Market is frictionless
=> borrowing rate = lending rate=> linear efficient set in the return-risk space
[2] Anyone can borrow or lend unlimited amount at risk-free rate
[3] All investors have homogenous beliefs=> they perceive identical distribution of expected
returns on ALL assets=> thus, they all perceive the SAME linear efficient set
(we called the line: CAPITAL MARKET LINE=> the tangency point is the MARKET PORTFOLIO

CONDITION 2: Demand = Supply for ALL risky assets Remember expected return is a function of price. Market price of any asset is such that its expected return is
just enough to compensate its investors to rationally holdit.
CONDITION 3: Equilibrium weight of any risky assets The Market portfolio consists of all risky assets. Market value of any asset i (V i ) = P i xQ i Market portfolio has a value of iV i Market portfolio has N risky assets, each with a weight of w i
Such that
w i = V i / iV i for all i

CONDITION 4: Aggregate borrowing = Aggregatelending
Risk-free rate is not exogenously given, but is determined
by equating aggregate borrowing and aggregate lending.

Two-Fund Separation:
Given the assumptions of frictionless market, unlimitedlending and borrowing, homogenous beliefs, and if theabove 4 equilibrium conditions are satisfied, we then have
the 2-fund separation.
TWO-FUND SEPARATION:Each investor will have a utility-maximizing portfolio
that is a combination of the risk-free asset and a portfolio(or fund) of risky assets that is determined by the Capitalmarket line tangent to the investors efficient set of riskyassets

Frictionless, and perfect information No imperfections like tax, regulations,
restrictions to short selling All assets are publicly traded and perfectly
divisible Perfect competition everyone is a price-taker
[2] Investors: Same one-period horizon Rational, and maximize expected utility over a
mean-variance space Homogenous beliefs

Derivation of CAPM
Using equilibrium condition 3w i = V i / iV i for all i
market value of individual assets (asset
i) w i =------------------------------------------------
market value of all assets (marketportfolio)
Consider the following portfolio:hold a% in asset iand (1-a%) in the market portfolio
8/14/2019 Capital Asset Pricing Model pptx
19/26
Derivation of CAPM
The expected return and standard deviation of such a portfolio can be written as:
E(R p ) = aE(R i) + (1-a)E(R m )
(R p ) = [ a 2 i2 + (1-a) 2 m 2 + 2a (1-a)im ] 1/2
Since the market portfolio already contains asset i and, most importantly, the equilibrium valueweight is w i
therefore, the percent a in the above equationsrepresent excess demands for a risky asset
We know from equilibrium condition 2 that inequilibrium, Demand = Supply for all asset.
Therefore, a = 0 has to be true in equilibrium.

Derivation of CAPME(R p ) = aE(R i) + (1-a)E(R m )
(Rp ) = [ a 2 i2 + (1-a) 2 m 2 + 2a (1-a) im ] 1/2
Consider the change in the mean and standarddeviation with respect to the percentage change inthe portfolio invested in asset i
Since a = 0 is an equilibrium for D = S, we mustevaluate these partial derivatives at a = 0

Derivation of CAPM the slope of the risk return trade-off evaluated at point M in marketequilibrium is
but we know that the slope of the opportunity set at point M must alsoequal the slope of the capital market line. The slope of the capital
market line is
Therefore, setting the slope of the opportunity set equal to the slope of the capital market line

Properties of CAPM
In equilibrium, every asset must be priced so that its risk-adjusted required rate of return falls exactly on thesecurity market line.
Total Risk = Systematic Risk + Unsystematic Risk
Systematic Risk a measure of how the asset co-varies
with the entire economy (cannot be diversified away)e.g., interest rate, business cycle
Unsystematic Risk idiosyncratic shocks specific toasset i, (can be diversified away)
e.g., loss of key contract, death of CEO
CAPM quantifies the systematic risk of any asset as its
Expected return of any risky asset depends linearly on itsexposure to the market (systematic) risk, measured by.
Assets with a higher require a higher risk-adjusted rate of return. In other words, in market equilibrium, investors
are only rewarded for bearing the market risk.

Empirical Tests on CAPM
In the next lecture, well go over some of theempirical tests of CAPM.
Think about the following questions:
[1] What are the predictions of the CAPM?[2] Are they testable?[3] What is a regression?
[4] How to test hypothesis? What is t-test?
