Investments always involve some level of risk, which is the possibility of losing some or all of the invested amount. The risk-return tradeoff is a fundamental concept in corporate finance, where investors expect higher returns for taking on greater risk. The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is a widely used model that describes the relationship between risk and return. The CAPM calculates the expected return on an investment based on its beta, which measures the investment's systematic risk.
