Has the CAPM been completely confirmed
or refuted through empirical tests?
No. The statistical tests have
problems that make empirical
verification or rejection virtually
impossible.
Investors’ required returns are
based on future risk, but betas are
calculated with historical data.
Investors may be concerned about
both stand-alone and market risk.
