Best Answer

The CAPM relates the expected return on a security to that of the overall market portfolio.

A highly volatile security will have a high covariance with the market portfolio. Since beta equals the covariance of the security with the market portfolio divided by the variance of the market portfolio, the result is a high value of beta.

When this high value of beta is plugged into the CAPM formula, all else not changed, the required return on the security (ra) is going to increase, implying investors require a higher return to hold a highly volatile security.

Limitations of using business plan as part of raising capital?

A business plan, in an of itself, does not meet the legal requirements for raising capital. Under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any offer of securities must be either (i) registered with the SEC, e.g., and IPO, or (ii) meet an exemption (from registration). The most common exemption is known as Regulation D; another exemption is Regulation A. Both Reg. A and Reg. D provide a 'safe harbor.' Even private companies must comply with this Act. Reg. A and Reg. D require 'full disclosure' of items such as risk factors, a description of the securities being offered and many other items typically not found in a business plan. The business plan may serve as a foundation for the full disclosure information that must be provided to prospective investors but the business plan, in and of itself, typically lacks full disclosure information and therefore most likely does not qualify as an 'offering document.'

What are unlisted investments?

Listed securities are those that have met the conditions to be listed on a stock exchange. U.S. exchanges, for instance, frequently require a minimum size and stock price as well as the timely filing of financial statements and other important information with the SEC. The stringency of these conditions varies from exchange to exchange. Unlisted securities, sometimes quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or Pink Sheets, are considered significantly more risky than listed securities. They are not subject to any of the types of conditions mentioned above (though a subset may also be required to file financial statements with the SEC). Unlisted securities are always unsuitable for unsophisticated investors and most experienced investors avoid them. POOPY BUTT>>>>>>>>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
