will be comparing and contrasting the effectives of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), Arbitrage Pricing Theory, and the Fama-French three factor model when estimating the cost of capital and explaining performance of investment portfolios. The CAPM model was developed by Sharpe (1964) to explain how capital markets set share prices. (Pike and Neale) In result of research by Sharpe (1964), Litner (1965) and Black (1972) the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) states “the relationship between

Introduction The Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”) was introduced by Sharpe (1964), Lintner (1965) and Mossin (1966) to provide investor an understanding in relation to the expected returns of their investment. However, this theory has been criticised by some empirical models resulted from the unrealistic assumptions. This paper will critically analyse the limitation of the CAPM and will discuss Arbitrage Pricing Theory (“APT”) and Fama-French (“FF”) Three-Factor Model (“TFM”) as the possible

Abstract: This thesis paper compares the in and out of sample predicative accuracy of 3 CAPM based models, “The Capital Asset Prising model” Sharpe (1964), “The Three Factor Fama-French Model” Fama-French (1993), “The Fama-French Five Factor Model” Fama-French (2013). The relationship of in-sample model strength to out-of-sample predictive accuracy is to be determined, by dividing each models portfolio into four segments, High Adjusted R2 , Medium Adjusted R2, Low Adjusted R2, and a random mixture

From the very time of its development, there have been many attempts to prove the validity of the Capital Asset Pricing Model. For instance, Black, Jensen and Scholes (1972) performed a test to check if securities are priced accordingly to their systematic risk. In order to test the theory that there was a positive linear relation between the expected return and beta, instead of the individual stock, they used monthly return data and portfolios. They obtained ten portfolios of monthly returns for

the CAPM Introduction Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) was developed in 1964 based on Modern Portfolio Theory. CAMP widely used in investment decisions and financial areas of the company. The main research of CAMP are the relationship between expected rate of return and risk assets in the stock market, as well as how the equilibrium price formation. In terms of the valuation of assets, CAPM primarily used to determine whether the securities market be mispricing. Capital Asset Pricing Model measure

INTRODUCTION CAPM tells how assets should be priced in the capital markets if, indeed, everyone behaved in the way portfolio theory suggests. The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is a relationship explaining how assets should be priced in the capital market. The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is a widely-used finance theory that establishes a linear relationship between the required return on an investment and risk. The model is based on the relationship between an asset 's beta, the risk-free rate

the highly competitive world of finance want to make more profit on their stocks, bonds and securities and increase their income by buying and selling those financial assets in today’s financial market place. In other words, every rational investor will try to increase and maximize his or her financial benefits and returns on capital investment. Moreover, in a study Elton et al. (2004) state that the model of classical financial theory presumes the fact that investors who work in a competitive market

Return on Asset "i" is 12%, the Risk-Free Rate is 4%, and the Beta (b) for Asset "i" is 1.2.

Introduction Graham and Harvey (2001) surveyed the CFOs of 392 U.S. firms and found that when estimating the capital of assets,73.5% of respondents use CAPM. It is a model which use simple formula to evaluate asset pricing and investor behavior. This model is absolutely the method with most investors used but many financial experts raise an objection to the veracity of this method in the recent years. Later in the main body of essay will discuss these question; In the first part of the essay will
