The document outlines key concepts related to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), including differential borrowing and lending rates, the zero-beta model, transaction costs, and empirical tests. It discusses how investor expectations vary, the implications of taxes on returns, and examines the stability of beta as a measure of systematic risk. Additionally, it highlights findings from the Fama-French study, suggesting that size and book-to-market equity significantly influence average stock returns, leading to the proposal of a three-factor CAPM model.
