01 - The Capital Asset Pricing Model
![](https://img.haomeiwen.com/i118382/fc5d51dcfc75e8bf.png)
- CAMP is one of the most significant ideas affecting finance in the last century.
- CAMP explains how the market impacts individual stock prices.
- CAMP provides a mathematical framework for hedge fund investing.
- It was developed by a number of researchers independently in the 1960s.
- William Sharpe, Harry Markowitz, and Merton Miller jointly received the Nobel Prize for this contribution in 1990.
- The CAPM led to the development of index funds and the belief that you can't beat the market

02 - Definition of a portfolio
![](https://img.haomeiwen.com/i118382/4cd1489e0a0ed103.png)
Definition: A portfolio is a weighted set of assets.
- E.g.: a portfolio that's got three different assets in it, Apple, Google, and Oracle. 60% in Apple, 20% in Google, and 20% in Oracle.
- 60%, 20% are the weights (wi)
-
( leveraged portfolio is a exception).
- returns on a portfolio:
, n = number of stocks in the portfolio.
- the equation allows short porsition and the return of it is opposite to the markect change.

03 - quiz Portfolio return
![](https://img.haomeiwen.com/i118382/7f7a6e23176d24f6.png)
weight | stock | return | Position |
---|---|---|---|
75% | A | 1% | Long |
-25% | B | -2% | Short |
Given the portfolio and return of the stocks in it, calculate portfolio return
Solution:
portfolio return = 75% * 1% + (-25%) * (-2%) = 1.25%
- the weight for Stock A is .75 and the return is 1%
- the weight for Stock B is negative 25% and return is 2% .
- since we shorted B and it went down, we got a positive component there, or .5.

04 - The market portfolio
![](https://img.haomeiwen.com/i118382/3731ec5d7427e2fc.png)
The Market Portfolio usually referring to is an index that broadly covers a large set of stocks.
- e.g. S&P500. The S&P 500 represents the 500 largest companies that are traded
- The index changes each day according to the prices of all of its components.
The market portfolio is a combination of those stocks in a certain weighting.
- Cap Weighted: the weight of each stock in the index portfolio is usually set according to that stock's market cap (
).
Sectors
- the US we typically break the market into ten different sectors, list four of them here. E.g.: Energy, technology, manufacturing, finance and so on.
- positive and negative news can affect each of these sectors individually without necessarily affecting the others.
So it's not unusual to break up these large markets into individual sectors.
Note: some stocks have surprisingly large weightings (e.g. Apple and Exxon each are about 5% of the S&P 500) thus have a strong effect on what happens to this index.

05 - The CAPM equation
![](https://img.haomeiwen.com/i118382/199a500bfd63b4a0.png)
The capital assets pricing model equation.
: The return of a particular stock, i, on a particular day,
: the return for a particular stock due to the market.
- the market moving up or down strongly affects the change in price on every individual stock and
is the extent of effects.
- every stock has it's own
.
-
is called the residual which is the part that
cannot predict.
- In the capital assets pricing model, the expectation for
is 0.
Where do we get this beta and this alpha?
Depends on how the daily returns for a particular stock relate to the daily returns of the market
.
- plot returns here for S&P 500 (
.) against the daily return of an individual stock xyz (
.) and fit a line to it. Then
is the slop and
is the y-intercept.
-
and
is based on historical data. in CAPM
are expect to be 0 (not always 0 in reality)

06 - quiz: Compare alpha and beta
![](https://img.haomeiwen.com/i118382/d893d464a3c540ea.png)
Of the two plots, which one has higher alpha and which one has a higher beta?
Solution:
Correlated with SP500, ABC clearly has a greater slope than XYZ, therefore higher β. It also has a larger Y-intercept (α).

07 - CAPM vs active management
![](https://img.haomeiwen.com/i118382/a019aa80215578cd.png)
- passive investing: essentially says that you should just buy an index portfolio, hold and let it grow.
- Active investing: Active portfolio managers don't just buy the index portfolio, they pick individual stocks. s/he weights some stocks higher and others lowers, and select higher weighted ones for his/her portfolio
consider passive versus active in that context
-
Both active managers and passive managers agree that the stock moves each day is most significantly influenced by the market
.
-
The CAPM the
is 1) random and 2) expected to be zero.
-
Active managers believe they can predict alpha relative to the market.
-
a passive investor believes the capital assets pricing model,
Just buy an index and hold it. -
and active investor believes they or some else can find alpha.

08 - CAPM for portfolios
![](https://img.haomeiwen.com/i118382/73f716c8dd729e5b.png)
the return for the entire portfolio
- compute this return for each individual stock
, multiply it by the weight for that stock and then we take the sum across all the stocks.
-
(remember
)
New way to calculate Beta

Thus, -

9 - quiz: Implications of CAPM Quiz
Consider the implications of the CAPM, and implications in upward markets and downward markets.
If we're in upward markets, do you want a larger beta or a smaller beta? And if we're in downward markets, do you want a larger beta or a smaller beta?
![](https://img.haomeiwen.com/i118382/9ddd7931b4e9c225.png)
solution:
market | stock |
---|---|
Upward | larger |
Downward | smaller |

10 - Implications of CAPM
![](https://img.haomeiwen.com/i118382/e159ba2324b810e1.png)
- alpha is random, and the expected value of alpha is zero.
- the only way we can beat the market now is by cleverly choosing
, high beta and up markets and low beta and down markets.
-
the efficient markets hypothesis says you can't predict the market which means
is not predictable.
- taken together, CAMP and the efficient markets hypothesis say that you can't beat the market.
Now, we are on to ways that you can potentially beat the market

11 - Arbitrage Pricing Theory
![](https://img.haomeiwen.com/i118382/9957e61e2bc6ad99.png)
- Arbitrage Pricing Theory was developed by Stephen Ross and first published in 1976.
- Dr. Ross though using single beta that represents a particular stock's relationship to the market is not enough; Maybe multiple
against different sectors.
- And of course we still have our
