Since the inception of prospects theory of Markowitz (1952) which leads to the development of CAPM has been studied and applied in many ways. Some researchers conclude that CAPM is valid and could be used for valuation of securities and cost of equity. However, critiques arise that CAPM is a single risk factor and remark that a single factor model cannot be generalized in the overall capital markets because the capital market absorbs many other risk factors. The CAPM has been applied to the Pakistan’s Stock Exchange to check the validity of CAPM for a sample of 306 individual firms and 18 industrial portfolios. Two pass regression has been applied to check the applicability of CAPM in Pakistan’s stock exchange. The results show that CAPM, single factor model is not valid for the technical analysis in Pakistan's capital market. The investors need to use other type of factor models which include other economic and non economic kind of variables for valuation of securities.

There is conflicting evidence on the applicability of Capital Asset Pricing Model in the Indian stock market. Data for 158 stocks listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange was analyzed using a number of tests from 1991–2002, the period which roughly coincides with the period after liberalization and initiation of capital market reforms. Taken in aggregate the various empirical tests show that CAPM is not valid for the Indian stock market for the period studied.

This study aims at analysing the impact of co-skewness and co-kurtosis on the returns of the Indian stocks by incorporating co-skewness and co-kurtosis in the traditional capital asset pricing model (CAPM) of Sharpe, in a three-factor model of Fama and French and in a four-factor model of Carhart. The results of the study show that co-skewness and co-kurtosis have significant impact on the returns of the Indian stock. However, the impact of co-skewness is higher than co-kurtosis.

The research reported in this article explored how the JSE SRI Index performed relative to exchange-traded funds during the period of economic growth as well as during the period of economic decline between 2004 and 2014. The JSE SRI Index and exchange traded funds are analysed by a single factor model as well as other risk-adjusted performance measures including the Sharpe ratio, the Treynor ratio and the M-squared ratio. The single-factor model regression results suggest that during the period of economic growth the JSE SRI index neither significantly outperformed nor underperformed the exchange-traded funds. However, the JSE SRI Index significantly underperformed the exchange-traded funds during the period of economic decline. Further tests that engaged other risk-adjusted measures indicated that the exchange-traded funds performed better than the JSE SRI index in both periods. Based on this research it is recommended that further research be conducted using models that can control for the liquidity difference in funds.

This article aims to test the capital asset-pricing model (CAPM) and three-factor model of Fama in Indian Stock Exchange, and it has focused on the recent growth of capital markets in India and the need of practitioners in these markets to determine a stable price for securities, and achieving expected returns has brought into consideration the theories predicting price securities Among different models the CAPM of Sharp. The study uses a sample of daily data and annual average for 54 companies listed on the National Stock Exchange, during the period from 2010 to 2016. The research article’s intention is to find whether the relationship between expected return and risk is linear, if beta is a complete measure of the risk and if a higher risk is compensated by a higher expected return. The results confirm that the intercept is statistically insignificant, upholding theory, for both individual assets and portfolios. The tests do not essentially provide validation against CAPM and Fama; however, other simulations can be built, more close to reality, by improving the model and offering an alternative which also takes into account the specific conditions of the Indian capital market and the global financial crisis consequences.

Abstract: Although initially developed for large corporations, economic value added (EVA) is a potential performance indicator to be used in small businesses (SME)s. EVA is calculated based on the cost of capital (equity and third party´s capital). Usually, the cost of equity capital is estimated using the classical Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), whose parameters are estimated by market data. In general, the CAPM becomes impracticable in SMEs due to the scarcity or absence of stocks traded on the stock exchange. As literature presents some alternative methods to calculate the cost of equity for small private companies, the objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the alternative method proposed by Boudreaux et al. (2011) compared to the classical CAPM, when both methods are used to calculate the EVA indicator. From a sample composed of 34 companies listed on the Brazilian stock exchange (B3), the results show that the method is useful for estimating the cost of equity capital in the calculation of the EVA indicator. Keywords: Small businesses; SME; EVA indicator; Cost of equity capital; Cost of capital; Capital Asset Pricing Model; CAPM.

AbstractAn insurance company is considered as an intermediary between policyholders and the capital market. By applying the traditional and the generalized version of the capital asset pricing model, a class of premium principles can be derived. This class is fully compatible with Bühlmann's economic premium principle. Moreover, insurance premiums can be directly related to risk premiums on the stock exchange.

Presented research aims in evaluation if three-factor model better describes rates of return than single-factor capital asset pricing model. Investigation concerns 30 selected companies listed on WSE in years 2007-2017. The whole period of analysis is divided into seven samples according to observed market tendency in Poland. Research is conducted for daily rates of return whereas comparative analysis is provided for portfolios constructed from companies belonging to stock indexes WIG20, mWIG40 and sWIG80.
