Cml vs sml
- 2. Riskless Return
• According to CAPM, CML and SML are both
half-lines that connect the risk-free asset with
the market portfolio.
• CML is defined in expected return – standard
deviation (total risk) space.
• SML is defined in expected return – beta
(systematic risk) space.
- 5. Riskless Return
• Efficient portfolios that offer the highest
return for a given level of risk lie on the CML,
and inefficient portfolios lie below it.
• All portfolios (both efficient and inefficient
ones) should lie on the SML.
• The equation of SML is the CAPM equation.
