We can calculate Alpha in Excel using the CAPM formula. CAPM stands for Capital Asset Pricing Model. The formula to calculate Alpha is as follows.Alpha = Portfolio Returns – Expected Rate of Return where,Expected Rate of Return = Risk Free Rate + Beta * (Market Returns – Risk Free Rate...
Beta measures the volatility of a portfolio compared to a benchmark index. The statistical measure beta is used in the CAPM, which uses risk and return to price an asset. Unlike alpha, beta captures the movements and swings in asset prices. A beta greater than one indicates higher volatility...
Briefly, describe how market risk is measured for individual securities. How are beta coefficients calculated? CAPM and Beta In the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) the beta is the measure of the sensitivity of a security's return to the return on the ma...
The beta of a company measures how the company’s equity market value changes with changes in the overall market. It is used in the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) to estimate the return of an asset. Investors use different methods for calculating the beta of a public company versus a...

Let's assume Mutual Fund A has an annualized return of 15% and a downside deviation of 8%. Mutual Fund B has an annualized return of 12% and a downside deviation of 5%. The risk-free rate is 2.5%. The Sortino ratios for both funds would be calculated as: ...
There are some variations of multiple users in the multiple terminal approaches: P/E Multiple:P/E multiple is calculated as market price per share divided by earnings per share, indicating investors are willing to pay for the company’s earnings. ...
The cost of equity can be calculated by using theCAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model)or Dividend Capitalization Model (for companies that pay out dividends). CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) CAPM takes into account the riskiness of an investment relative to the market. The model is less exact...
The variables used in the CAPM equation are: Expected returnon an asset (ra), the value to be calculated Risk-free rate(rf), the interest rate available from a risk-free security, such as the 13-week U.S. Treasury bill. No instrument is completely without some risk, including the T-...
alpha is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate of the return from the market return and multiplying the resultant with the systematic risk of the portfolio represented by the beta and further subtracting the resultant along with the risk-free rate of the return from the expected Rate of ...
