THE CAPM AND THE REAL WORLD

CAPM and the Real World

The CAPM was first published by Sharpe in the Journal of Finance in 1964
Many tests of the theory have since followed including Roll’s critique in 1977 and the Fama and French study in 1992

MULTIFACTOR MODELS AND THE CAPM

Multifactor Models

Limitations for CAPM
Market Portfolio is not directly observable
Research shows that other factors affect returns

Fama French Three-Factor Model

Returns are related to factors other than market returns
Size
Book value relative to market value
Three factor model better describes returns
