CAPM = Capital Asset Pricing Model.

 

A method used for evaluating investment opportunities, where the Risk Free Rate is added to the Risk Premium.

 

R = RF + B (RM - RF)

 

Where:

R = Expected Rate of Return (The minimum return an investor will accept for said investment)

RF = Risk Free Rate (Usually Interest on Treasury Bills are loosely used)

RM = Market Return (Average Return Generated by the Market)

B = Beta Co-efficient (Volatility of Returns of a Security of Portfolio)

 

Generally speaking, a solid investment is one which generates higher returns than investments carrying the same level of risk.
