Single-index model

Single-index model

The single-index model (SIM) is an asset pricing model commonly used in the finance industry to measure risk and return of a stock. Mathematically the SIM is expressed as:

: rit - rf = ai + Bi(rmt - rf) + Eit ,

: R_i = alpha_i + eta_iR_m,

where:

: "rit" − "rf" is the return on the stock: "ai" is the company's alpha : "Bi" is the company's beta: "rmt" − "rf" is the return on the market index: "Eit" is the residual return

The accuracy of the model is enhanced by the stock return's influence by market (beta) and firm-specific risk factors (alpha), unexpected returns (residual) and the relation to the performance of a market index (such as the All Ordinaries). Security analysts often use the SIM for such functions as computing stock betas, evaluating stock selection skills, and conducting event studies.
