Indian Stock Market Study Challenges Traditional Risk-Return Relationship in Finance
The study tested the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) in the Indian stock market using data from 278 companies. The results did not support the idea that higher risk leads to higher returns. The study found that the relationship between return and betas is linear, and that residual risk affects expected returns. Overall, the findings suggest that the CAPM may not accurately predict stock returns in the Indian equity market.
