Beta
• The CAPM implies that the expected return on the ith asset
is determined from its beta
• Beta (βi) is the regression slope coefficient when the return
on the ith asset is regressed on the return on the market
• Fundamental equation of the CAPM:

ri = rf + b i (rm - rf )
Market Risk versus Idiosyncratic Risk
• By construction, the residuals of error terms in a regression
are uncorrelated with the fitted or predicted value
• So, the variance of the return of a stock is equal to its beta
squared times the variance of the market return (systematic
risk) plus the variance of the residual in the regression
(idiosyncratic risk)
