An Empirical Assessment of Capital Asset Pricing Model with Reference to National Stock Exchange

This study concentrates on empirical assessment of Capital Asset Pricing Model CAPM on the National Stock Exchange NSE . CAPM assists to determine a well diversified portfolio. The main objective of this research paper is to check the applicability of Nobel laureate’s model in Indian equity market by testing the relationship between risk and return, whether there is any direct proportionality in the expected rate of return and its systematic risk. It relates its results by using the beta systematic risk as a measuring factor. The study was being conducted for a period of 260 weeks from 7 April 2013 to 25 March 2018. 45 companies from NSE were picked as a proxy for the market portfolio. This research was done by using regression analysis on stocks and portfolio to find out the final results. Research of this study nullifies that this model is applicable to the Indian market and also contradicts its expected return and systematic risk which are linearly related to each other. Miss.
