Every investment comes with a certain degree of risk, attached to it. For example, the fixed deposits may see a decline in interest rates, real estate might lose value, or the stocks purchased might witness capital erosion. The additional income or the rate of return earned from an investment compensates an investor for the risk he undertakes. That is, the higher the risk, the higher the return the stock has to pay back, to become a rational investment. So, it can be understood that the concept of risk and return go hand in hand. Let's discuss Capital Asset Pricing Model. To read, go to link : https://www.elearnmarkets.com/blog/capital-asset-pricing-model-capm/
Asset pricing models have evolved significantly over the past several decades. From the Capital Asset Pricing Model to Fama and French's 3 Factor Model to their more recent 5 and 6 Factor Models, academic research has continued to work to improve our understanding of what drives stock prices. But our guest this week thinks asset pricing models might need a revolution more than evolution. We speak with Lu Zhang, who is the John W. Galbreath Chair and Professor of Finance at the Fisher College of Business at Ohio State University. He is also the creator of the Q factor model, which takes a first principles approach to asset pricing that starts with economic theory rather than adopting the framework of previous models. We discuss the evolution of asset pricing models over time and take a detailed look at the major models that have come along the way. We then look at the philosophical arguments for why traditional asset pricing models may be taking the wrong approach and look at the details of the Q factor model. We hope you enjoy the discussion.

With anything in the world of finance, there is always a mathematical explanation and an intuitive explanation. The fact that the market is structured to drift higher over time is no exception to this rule. From the Geometric Brownian Motion foundation all the way to the Capital Asset Pricing Model, today we learn the fundamental reason for the market's slow drift higher over time - supply and demand.

The Capital Asset Pricing Model, or CAPM, is a widley taught asset valuation model, so you have to kow what it is. Let talk about it!
On Episode 3 of the Best Interest Podcast, we discuss personal finance unknowns. Sudden expenses, 'black swans,' and what we can do to save ourselves from trouble. https://bestinterest.blog/personal-finance-unknowns/ I also answer an interesting question about CAPM--the Capital Asset Pricing Model. Cool stuff!

In finance, beta measures a stock’s volatility with respect to the overall market. It is used in many areas of financial analysis and investment, for example in the calculation of the Weighted Average Cost of Capital, in the Capital Asset Pricing Model and market-neutral trading. In this post, we present a concrete example of calculating the beta of Facebook, a technology stock. As for the market benchmark, we utilize SPY. http://tech.harbourfronts.com/trading/stock-beta-calculate-stock-beta-python/
When we asked international technology entrepreneur Paul Tenney about the pre-requisites to entrepreneurial business success, he said, “Learn accounting”. Accounting — or economic calculation — is one of the four pillars of entrepreneurship. And when it's viewed through Austrian eyes, it becomes a more powerful business tool than, perhaps, you might have realized. Whether we are talking about retrospective accounting (P&L accounting and financial reporting) or commercial pre-calculation to plan future actions (management accounting or cost accounting), how you use the tool makes a difference to the results you get. Our guest in E4E episode 51, Dr. David Rapp, is an international leader in the field of Accounting and Management Control, a subject he teaches at one of Europe's top business schools. Key Takeaways and Actionable Insights Accounting is a means to help you achieve your desired ends — apply judgment when using the tool. Austrian economics teaches us to subjectively choose goals and then select the best means to achieve those goals. Accounting is just another tool to help the entrepreneur. There are plenty of explicit and implicit options in how to use it. David calls this attitude “purpose orientation” — one of the most important aspects in the field of accounting. Any computation should be shaped by its underlying purpose. Financial reporting is subject to local rules — but there are always options in applying them. If the purpose is to pay as little tax as possible, for example, a firm may apply depreciation or amortization rules in such a way as to reduce taxable profits. If the purpose is to present the firm in the best possible light to secure external funding, the same rules might be applied in a different way to display a different calculation of profit. There are options available for valuation of assets and of inventory that can materially affect the balance sheet. Entrepreneurs should be rigorous in ensuring that their own managerial accounting does not mislead them. Some modern finance theories and models are unrealistic — such as the standardized Capital Asset Pricing Model and the Weighted Average Cost of Capital approach. The entrepreneur's task is to apply real world judgement in deciding on future actions. Austrian Economics guides us towards realism not models, and the insights from Austrian Economics are the best ones to integrate into managerial accounting. Entrepreneurs should bear in mind core Austrian Economics principles to guide their options in accounting. Dr. Rapp mentioned these principles: Subjective valueThe importance of opportunity costsDistinguishing between value and priceUnderstanding that prices determine costs rather than vice versa,Differentiating between uncertainty and risk Does accounting send reliable signals of business health to the entrepreneur? Not necessarily. Entrepreneurs should be on their guard. Dr. Rapp advises us that general guidance to the firm's owners and management is not possible via accounting. Accounting is not neutral and not a perfect tool for measurement or reporting. Again, the choice of reports comes down to the goal the entrepreneur is pursuing. If the goal is a sale to an external buyer, then an accounting focus on EBIT might be the best channel for the most relevant business health monitoring. If the goal is external financing from a bank, a more appropriate signal might be found in a solvency measure such as debt-to-equity ratio. Can accounting accommodate the Austrian Economics mandate for dynamic flexibility — continuous adjustment to changing customer preferences in the marketplace? Yes, says Dr Rapp: by emphasizing the P&L to reflect the profit-and-loss outcomes of entrepreneurial actions and to reflect how well changing allocation of resources serves customers. Sub-dividing accounts into shorter time periods and different lines of business can more accurately reflect the dynamism of a business. And extensive use of notes to accounts in reports can provide a qualitative flexibility in reporting. Accounting plays a primary and noble role in the advance of civilization. Our complex market economy could not have evolved without accounting. It's an important part of the system that allocated capital to its highest and most profitable use. Accounting is not boring, dry or dispensable. Rather, it's a mainstay of human progress. Additional Resource "Accounting From An Austrian (Misesian) Perspective" (PDF): Mises.org/E4E_51_PDF

El Modelo de Valoración del Precio de los Activos Financieros o Capital Asset Pricing Model (conocido como modelo CAPM) es una de las herramientas más utilizadas en el área financiera para determinar la tasa de retorno requerida para un cierto activo. En la concepción de este modelo trabajaron en forma simultánea, pero separadamente, tres economistas principales: William Sharpe, John Lintner y Jan Mossin, cuyas investigaciones fueron publicadas en diferentes revistas especializadas entre 1964 y 1966.

Michael Covel speaks with Justin Fox. Fox is the executive editor at the Harvard Business Review Group. He writes a blog for hbr.org (http://blogs.hbr.org/fox/) and a monthly column for Time magazine. Fox is also the author of "The Myth Of The Rational Market: A History of Risk, Reward, and Delusion on Wall Street". Covel and Fox discuss Harry Markowitz, Bayesian statistics, and making smart decisions in an uncertain world using quantitative tools; stocks, beta, and the importance of making useful predictions; Commodities Corporation and trend following trading in the early 1970’s; why a market in which everyone was rationally anticipating the future would be a random market; Amos Hostetter; how the behavioral mindset started to unfold in the 1970’s; Eugene Fama and the efficient market hypothesis; the Capital Asset Pricing Model; why well-designed markets and well-informed investors are prone to manias and panics; and individuals making errors vs. the group getting it right.

In this lecture, Professor Shiller introduces mean-variance portfolio analysis, as originally outlined by Harry Markowitz, and the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) that has been the cornerstone of modern financial theory. Professor Shiller commences with the history of the first publicly traded company, The United East India Company, founded in 1602. Incorporating also the more recent history of stock markets all over the world, he elaborates on the puzzling size of the equity premium. very high historical return of stock market investments. After introducing the notion of an Efficient Portfolio Frontier, he covers the concept of the Tangency Portfolio, which leads him to the Mutual Fund Theorem. Finally, the consideration of equilibrium in the stock market leads him to the Capital Asset Pricing Model, which emphasizes market risk as the determinant of a stock’s return. Complete course materials are available at the Open Yale Courses website: http://oyc.yale.edu This course was recorded in Spring 2011.
This lecture continues the analysis of the Capital Asset Pricing Model, building up to two key results. One, the Mutual Fund Theorem proved by Tobin, describes the optimal portfolios for agents in the economy. It turns out that every investor should try to maximize the Sharpe ratio of his portfolio, and this is achieved by a combination of money in the bank and money invested in the "market" basket of all existing assets. The market basket can be thought of as one giant index fund or mutual fund. This theorem precisely defines optimal diversification. It led to the extraordinary growth of mutual funds like Vanguard. The second key result of CAPM is called the covariance pricing theorem because it shows that the price of an asset should be its discounted expected payoff less a multiple of its covariance with the market. The riskiness of an asset is therefore measured by its covariance with the market, rather than by its variance. We conclude with the shocking answer to a puzzle posed during the first class, about the relative valuations of a large industrial firm and a risky pharmaceutical start-up.
Until now we have ignored risk aversion. The Bernoulli brothers were the first to suggest a tractable way of representing risk aversion. They pointed out that an explanation of the St. Petersburg paradox might be that people care about expected utility instead of expected income, where utility is some concave function, such as the logarithm. One of the most famous and important models in financial economics is the Capital Asset Pricing Model, which can be derived from the hypothesis that every agent has a (different) quadratic utility. Much of the modern mutual fund industry is based on the implications of this model. The model describes what happens to prices and asset holdings in general equilibrium when the underlying risks can't be hedged in the aggregate. It turns out that the tools we developed in the beginning of this course provide an answer to this question.
