1. Substitute this expression for beta into the Security Market Line (SML) This will result in the alternative form of SML.
SML is expressed as
ri = r f + beta i (r m - r f)
where
r f = risk free rate
beta i = beta of stock/portfolio of stocks
r m = return on market portfolio
r i = required return on stock / portfolio of stocks
beta i can also be written as
beta i = s im / s m 2
where
s im = covariance between stock / portfolio and the market portfolio
s m 2 = variance of ...
