2. 3: Risk and Rates of Return: Risk in Portfolio Context Risk and Rates of Return: Risk in Portfolio Context The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) explains how risk should be considered when stocks and other assets are held . The CAPM states that any stock's required rate of return is the risk-free rate of return plus a risk premium that reflects only the risk remaining diversification. Most individuals hold stocks in portfolios. The risk of a stock held in...
