DID YOU KNOW

– The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) was developed by economist William Sharpe in the 1960s. It is a widely used financial model that helps investors determine the expected return on an investment based on its risk level.

– One interesting fact about CAPM is that it assumes that investors are risk-averse and rational decision-makers. This means that investors prefer less risk and will only take on additional risk if they expect to be compensated with higher returns.

– Another fascinating aspect of CAPM is that it introduces the concept of beta, which measures the sensitivity of an investment’s returns to the overall market. A beta of 1 indicates that the investment moves in line with the market, while a beta greater than 1 suggests higher volatility compared to the market.
