An equation describing the expected return on any asset (or portfolio) as a linear function of its beta relative to the market portfolio.Synonyms: CAPM

A theory that states that the expected return on any asset or security is given by a formula. It is generally conceded in finance that the CAPM is effectively untestable.

Definition CAPM. An economic model for valuing stocks by relating risk and expected return. Based on the idea that investors demand additional expected return (called the risk premium) if asked to acc [..]

An asset pricing model that relates the required return on an asset to its systematic risk.

Used to help price risky securities (i.e., any securities other than risk-free, or Treasury securities), the Capital Asset Pricing Model is a statistical model that describes the relationship between risk and expected return.

Sophisticated model of the relationship between expected risk and expected return.

Equation in modern portfolio theory

A model based on the proposition that any stock's required rate of return is equal to the risk-free rate of return plus a risk premium which reflects only the risk remaining after diversification [..]

The capital asset pricing model has been widely used for many years by the global financial services industry to try and predict the returns you should expect from a stock.

  A theoretical model that relates the return on an asset to its risk, where risk is the contribution of the asset to the volatility of a well diversified portfolio (an asset’s “beta”).

The Capital Asset Pricing Model describes the relationship between risk and expected return and can be used in pricing risky securities.

Financial model that defines the relationship between risk and return The premise of the model is that the expected investment return varies in direct proportion to its risk, i.e., the riskier the inv [..]

A model that shows the relationship between expected risk and expected return on an investment, based on the accepted theory that the higher the risk associated with an investment, the higher the required return.

is used to calculate the required rate of return for any risky asset. Your required rate of return is the increase in value you should expect to see based on the inherent risk level of the asset.

A theoretical model that relates the return on an asset to its risk. The risk is defined as the contribution of the asset to the volatility of the portfolio.

Widely known quantitative finance model. States the return of a stock can be modeled by a constant (alpha) plus the market times another constant (beta) plus some random deviation.

A model in which the cost of capital for any security or portfolio of securities equals a risk free rate plus a risk premium that is proportionate to the systematic risk of the security or portfolio.

A theory which shows the relationship between risk and return for efficient and inefficient portfolios.
