Whats the difference between CAPM(capital assets pricing model) model and WACC (weighted average cost of capital)and why do we use WACC to discount future cashflows. what is the significance of CAPM in valuation

The CAPM represents market return, while WACC is the internal cost of capital faced by a firm.

CAPM you will utilize for valuing equity, either stocks and portfolios. The important things to draw from it are the risk-free rate. Generally

Portfolio Optimization: Bridging The Gap Between Theory And Practice

18.05.12

In the field of finance, Modern Portfolio Theory is a good theory. I say this because while there are many enhancements to this theory, none have managed to replace it. Stemming from this theory is the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) that says for a given risk free rate there is only one optimal portfolio-- the market portfolio, which can be combined with cash to achieve the lowest level of risk for any possible return.

The market portfolio in theory is the weighted sum of every asset in the market. It should include every single possible available asset, including real estate, precious metals, stamp collections, jewelry, and anything with any worth and is optimized. The CAPM model defines a line (called the Capital Asset Line) that joins the risk free asset to the optimized market portfolio as a tangent that rests on a bullet-shaped frontier that encompasses the market portfolio.

Musings on Markets: Alternatives to the CAPM: Wrapping up

by Aswath Damodaran

A. Explicit versus implicit : I know plenty of analysts who steer away from discounted cash flow valuation and use relative valuation (multiples and comparable firms) because they are uncomfortable with measuring risk explicitly. However, what they fail to recognize is that they are implicitly making a risk adjustment. How? When you compare PE ratios across banks and suggest that the bank with lowest PE ratio is cheapest, you are implicitly...
