FAQ :

CAPM is a financial model that describes the relationship between the expected return and risk associated with investing in a security. It suggests that the expected return on a security is composed of the risk-free return plus a risk premium based on the security's beta.

The key components are Expected Return (Ra), the Risk-Free Rate (Rrf), Beta (Ba), and the Market Risk Premium (the difference between the expected market return and the risk-free rate).

The risk-free rate is often equivalent to the yield on a long-term government bond, such as a 10-year Indian government bond.

Beta measures a stock's volatility in relation to the overall market. A beta greater than 1 indicates higher volatility, while a beta less than 1 suggests lower volatility.

CAPM is significant for calculating the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) and for building financial models to evaluate net present value, ascertain enterprise value, and determine equity value, which supports informed decision-making in investments and acquisitions.
