Technique Overview
Capital Asset Pricing Model Definition
The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is a model for pricing an individual security or portfolio of stocks and determine the expected returns on capital investments. CAPM provides a methodology for quantifying risk and translating that risk into estimates of expected return on equity (Mullins, 1982). It is a simple model that relates both variables by means of a linear relationship of the form y=a+bx, where b is called the 'beta coefficient', a measure of the stock risk relative to the market risk.
