How do you find risk free rate in CAPM?
Answers
hey mate...
here is your answer...
CAPM's starting point is the risk-free rate–typically a 10-year government bond yield. A premium is added, one that equity investors demand as compensation for the extra risk they accrue. This equity market premium consists of the expected return from the market as a whole less the risk-free rate of return.
To calculate the real risk-free rate, subtract the current inflation rate from the yield of the Treasury bond that matches your investment duration. If, for example, the 10-year Treasury bond yields 2%, investors would consider 2% to be the risk-free rate of return.
