Domestic CAPM and Extended CAPM
Domestic CAPM
-
An efficient market allows investors to diversify away company/security specific risk and have exposure solely to the market risk.
-
The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) as previously discussed was considered purely from an investor's domestic point of view.
-
Domestic CAPM: Theoretic technique for an investor that can be used to price market/systemic risk exposure of assets denominated in his/her own currency.
-
Domestic CAPM: Local Currency of Asset = Domestic Currency of the Investor
-
The domestic CAPM can only price local market risk.
-
Internationally, the domestic CAPM fails to consider:
-
Global market risks. Ex: Only the U.S. market risk is important in pricing Wal-Mart common equity shares.
-
Exchange rate risk.
Extending Domestic CAPM
Extended CAPM: Extends domestic CAPM to pricing systemic risk adjusted security returns to a world market portfolio of investible assets.
**Domestic CAPM formula:
E(RiLC) = RFLC + βiLC[E(RMLC) - RFLC]**
- E(RiLC) = Domestic return for global asset "i", as measured in the asset's local currency
- RFLC = Risk-free rate of return in the investor's domestic currency
- E(RMLC = Expected return of the domestic market portfolio, used in calculating the domestic market risk premium, where the domestic currency is the local currency for the market.
- βiLC = The asset's beta, its sensitivity to domestic market returns, where the investor's domestic currency is the local currency
**Extended CAPM formula:
RiDC = RFDC + βiDC[E(RWDC) - RFDC]**
- RiDC = Return for risky global asset "i" measured in investor's domestic currency
- RFDC = Global risk-free asset's rate of return in the investor's domestic currency.
- RWDC = Return on world market of investible assets in the investor's domestic currency; used in calculating the world market risk premium in the investor's domestic currency.
- βiDC = The global asset's beta, its sensitivity to world market returns, in the investor's domestic currency
