The Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) is based on several key assumptions: first, it posits that asset returns can be explained by a linear relationship with multiple risk factors, rather than just a single market factor. Second, it assumes that investors are rational and seek to maximize utility, which leads to arbitrage opportunities being quickly eliminated in an efficient market. Additionally, APT assumes that the returns of assets are influenced by various systematic risks, and that these risks can be diversified away in a well-structured portfolio. Finally, it presumes that there exist no arbitrage opportunities in the long run, ensuring that asset prices adjust to reflect their true risk-return profiles.
