Whch ortolos should nvestors hold n equlbrum? Answer: CAP Assumtons Results: Identy the tangency ortolo n equlbrum Hence, denty nvestors ortolos Derve equlbrum returns (and hence rces) Pro. Lasse H.

CAP Assumtons Stylzed Assumtons: 1. The market s n a comettve equlbrum;. Sngle-erod nvestment horzon; 3. All assets are tradable; 4. No rctons; 5. Investors are ratonal mean-varance otmzers wth 6. homogeneous exectatons Some assumtons can be relaxed, and CAP stll holds. An mortant aroxmaton o realty n any case.

Pedersen 4 1: The market s n a comettve equlbrum Equlbrum: Suly Demand Suly o securtes s xed (n the short-run). I Demand > Suly or a artcular securty, the excess demand drves u rce and reduces exected return. (Reverse Demand < Suly) Comettve market: Investors take rces as gven No nvestor can manulate the market. No monoolst Pro. Lasse H. Pedersen 5 : Sngle-erod horzon All nvestors agree on a horzon.

What s the Equlbrum Tangency Portolo? Recall rom ortolo theory: All nvestors should have a (ostve or negatve) racton o ther wealth nvested n the rsk-ree securty, and The rest o ther wealth s nvested n the tangency ortolo. The tangency ortolo s the same or all nvestors (homogeneous exectatons). In equlbrum, sulydemand so: the tangency ortolo must be the ortolo o all exstng rsky assets, the market ortolo!! Pro. Lasse H.

The ortolo n whch each rsky securty has the ollowng weght: n ω n market catalzaton o securty total market catalzaton In words, the market ortolo s the ortolo consstng o all assets (everythng!).
