a security's risk is divided into systematic (Market risk) and Unsystematic risk (Diversifiable risk), the market risk is the risk inherent to the security, it is attributed to macro economic factors such as inflation, war etc. and affects all securities in the market and so cannot be diversified away. Market risk of a security is measured and reflected by the Beta coefficientwhich is an index that measures the security's volatility to market movements i.e. how much the returns of the security will vary if their changes in the market

How does capital market line differ from security market line?
From Investopedia.com: The capital market line (CML) is a line used in the capital asset pricing model to illustrate the rates of return for efficient portfolios depending on the risk-free rate of return and the level of risk (standard deviation) for a particular portfolio. The CML is derived by drawing a tangent line from the intercept point on the efficient frontier to the point where the expected return equals the risk-free rate of return. The CML is considered to be superior to the efficient frontier since it takes into account the inclusion of a risk-free asset in the portfolio. The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) demonstrates that the market portfolio is essentially the efficient frontier. This is achieved visually through the security market line (SML). The security market line is a line that graphs the systematic, or market, risk versus return of the whole market at a certain time and shows all risky marketable securities. The SML essentially graphs the results from the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) formula. The x-axis represents the risk (beta), and the y-axis represents the expected return. The market risk premium is determined from the slope of the SML. The security market line is a useful tool in determining whether an asset being considered for a portfolio offers a reasonable expected return for risk. Individual securities are plotted on the SML graph. If the security's risk versus expected return is plotted above the SML, it is undervalued because the investor can expect a greater return for the inherent risk. A security plotted below the SML is overvalued because the investor would be accepting less return for the amount of risk assumed.
What is the difference between systematic risk and unsystematic risk?
It is the risk in financial market or in market general which exists due to factors which are beyond the control of humans or the people working in market and that;s why risk free rate use in market is only exists there to protect the investors from that systemetic risk. This is the risk other than systematic risk and which is due to factors directly controllable by the people dealing in market and market risk premium rate is paid due to compensate this type of unsystematic risk in market. Total Risk = Systematic Risk + Unsystematic Risk
Distinguish between systematic and unsystematic risks?
It is the risk which is due to the factors which are beyond the control of the people working in the market and that's why risk free rate of return in used to just compensate this type of risk in market. This is the risk other than systematic risk and which is due to the factors which are controllable by the people working in market and market risk premium is used to compensate this type of risk. Total Risk = Systematic risk + Unsystematic Risk
What are the dangers of high yield money market trading?
Some danger of high yield money are: Credit risk, currency risk, duration risk, political risk and taxation adjustment risk. Reinvestment risk and market value risk.
Is Beta the slope of the security market line?
No- the market risk premium is the slope of the Security Market Line (SML).
What is the capital asset pricing model?
The CAPM is a model for pricing an individual security (asset) or a portfolio. For individual security perspective, we made use of the security market line (SML) and its relation to expected return and systematic risk (beta) to show how the market must price individual securities in relation to their security risk class. The SML enables us to calculate the reward-to-risk ratio for any security in relation to that of the overall market. Therefore, when the expected rate of return for any security is deflated by its beta coefficient, the reward-to-risk ratio for any individual security in the market is equal to the market reward-to-risk ratio
What risk is measured by beta?
A measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the market as a whole.

Distingush between systematic and unsystematic risks which is often regarded as the only relevant risk and why?
It is the risk which is due to the factors which are beyond the control of the people working in the market and that's why risk free rate of return in used to just compensate this type of risk in market. This is the risk other than systematic risk and which is due to the factors which are controllable by the people working in market and market risk premium is used to compensate this type of risk. Total Risk = Systematic risk + Unsystematic Risk As systematic risk is beyond the control of people working in market that;s why it is defenately not the relevent risk because anything not controllable is irrelevant and that's why unsystematic risk is the relevant risk because it is in the control of investor to in which security to invest or not.

What is sensitivity index n capital market?
The market sensitivity index of individual security ( or portfolio security) mesures the systematic risk of a security. The sensitivity index is denoted by Beta It forms part of the CAPM(Capital asset pricing model). and is calculated as follows: Beta=COVsm/VAR^2 M Where S stands for security, and m for the Market portfolio.
The market risk premium is measured by?
The market risk premium is measured by the market return less risk-free rate. You can calculate the market risk premium as market risk premium is equal to the expected return of the market minus the risk-free rate.

How would the security market line shift if inflation decreased and investors became more risk adverse?
it will shift up, the slope will remain the same
What are some of the different market risks?
There are many different market risks. Some different market risks are systematic risk, credit risk, country risk, political risk, market risk, interest rate risk and many more.
