to investors are numerous: mutual funds, hedge funds, structured products, equity-linked notes to name a few. The characteristics of each asset class can be summarized in the different return distributions. Even within a single asset class the return distributions of assets are not alike. We assume that the return distributions of all risky assets are known and would like to choose the best asset to invest to, meaning that the risky assets are mutually exclusive investment alternatives.

an unstable point in its business cycle and must calculate an appropriate cost of capital during these uncertain times. The cost of capital is an essential measure in determining the cost of a company’s capital structure. It is the required rate of return for potential investments for the firm. Therefore, assumptions for the cost of capital components must be analyzed carefully. We have provided guidelines and calculations regarding how we derived an appropriate cost of capital. 1.0 Weighted Average

In addition we have a risk-free asset (for borrowing and/or lending in unlimited quantities) with interest rate rf . We assume that all information is available to all such as covariances, variances, mean rates of return of stocks and so on. We also assume that everyone is a risk-averse rational investor who uses the same financial engineering mean-variance portfolio theory from Markowitz. A little thought

even many professional money managers have had a hard time performing better than the market. To understand why, it is helpful to begin with some definitions. Active investors (and active money managers) attempt to out- perform stock market rates of return by actively trading individual stocks and/or engaging in market timing — deciding when to be in and out of the market. Those investors who simply purchase “the market” through index or asset class mutual funds are called passive or “market” investors

University, Montreal, Canada Abstract Purpose – Researchers have proposed characteristics-based pricing models as an alternative to risk-based pricing models. While supported empirically, these characteristic-based models lack theoretical support. This paper seeks to reformulate an asset-pricing model (RAPM) to demonstrate why firm characteristics help to explain stock returns. Design/methodology/approach – The RAPM is grounded in an economic setting where two groups of agents hold different beliefs about

calculate its cost of capital. CAPM describes the relationship between risk and the expected return. To calculate CAPM, Pfizer uses the risk-free rate from the treasury market, the beta from historical performance of its stock against an index such as S&P 500, and the market risk premium or the expected return on the market. The market risk premium is the difference between the expected return on the market and the risk-free rate from the treasury market. To calculate the weighted cost of debt
