Where in (Ahmad, 2008) results of Karachi Stock Exchange do not support the CAPM, 49 companies and KSE 100 index data has taken and the findings show that Sharpe model is not useful for Pakistan equity market and CAPM at KSE is credited inefficient in market because a positive tradeoff among market risk and market return, is rejected, secondly the remaining risk plays some functions in pricing risky assets (Ahmad, 2008).
RESEARCH METHOD The research question is "Does the Capital Assets Pricing Model (CAPM) assist the investors in evaluating the securities and give the reliable results if applied on Pakistan Stock Markets.
Our study also some extent verify the results of Lau and quay (1974) who put forth that the Capital Assets Pricing Model is applicable on the Tokyo Stock Exchange where the actual returns of were slightly different from the expected returns in most of the years.
So by comparing the results with previous researches and on the basis of our own findings, we conclude that the CAPM is not an applicable model for the calculation of expected returns of the stocks and it might mislead the investors in pricing the underlying securities in most of the cases.
