WST: 3.2 Finance 101 - CAPM Simplified

Wall St. Training Self-Study Instructor, Hamilton Lin, CFA simplifies in plain English the underlying concept behind risk and return, corporate finance and portfolio management. While the Capital Asset Pricing Model is a highly theoretical concept, if capital markets players weren't trying to beat CAPM, CAPM wouldn't exist! Ahh, the "Quest for Alpha"...

What do you mean when you say if people were not trying to beat CAPM, the system would break down? I didn't understand that whole chunk.

[glwhittaker]

Great simple and clear explanation. You explained this a lot clearer than my professor. Very much appreciated.

Haha I've been taking finance for almost 4 years and we have finally started learning this "finance 101"; However this guy really breaks it down and simplifies it. He makes it practical and easy to retain.

@coran3

The more risk you take the greater the probability that you will lose a percentage or all of your investment. Therefore if you take on more risk you expect to be compensated for assuming this greater level of risk (in a way it can be simplified as danger pay). Why would you take more risk if you did not expect a greater return, that would be totally irrational. Hope this helps.
