CML is the Capital market line which show us the relationship between E(Ri) and the security-portfolio(combines the risk free asset and market porfolio) variation.
NOT FOR SINGLE SECURITY
E(Ri)=Rf+[(Rm-Rf)/Vm]*Var(portfolio)
where Rf is risk free rate, Rm is market portfolio return
(Rm-Rf) is the market risk premium. devided by market risk(var) shows the risk premium per var, which gives us the slope of the CML
multipling the Var(portfolio) gives the risk premium required for the security portforlio
This line is actually tangent the efficient frontier, It shows all the combinations of risk free asset and market(optimal) portfolio.
However, SML shows the relationships between the reterns of all securities(not just market portfolio) and their risks. As we all know the market only compensate the systemetic risks which are the risks relating to the market. The nonsystemetic risks can be diversified. Therefore, for a single security the only relevant risk factor is Cov(im)
COULD BE USED FOR ALL SECURITIES AND PORTFOLIO
E(Ri)=Rf+[(Rm-Rf)/Vm]*Cov(im)
reorganize the formula
E(Ri)=Rf+Cov(im)/Vm *(Rm-Rf)
where we let Cov(im)/V(m)= beta
so we get E(Ri)=Rf+ B* (Rm-Rf) This gives the line which is called security market line (SML)
from this SML, we can get the relationship between the E(Ri) and the B(indicates the systemetic risk of the security)
(Here,as we know Cov(mm)=Var(m) so when the return B=1,Ri=Rm)
