Capital Asset Pricing Model (also known by its acronym, CAPM) is a model based on the proposition that any stock's required rate of return is equal to the risk-free rate of return plus a risk premium reflecting only the risk remaining after diversification. The CAPM equation is ri =rRF +b i(rM − rRF).
