• CML primarily shows the trade off between risk and return for
functioning portfolios. It efficiently depicts the combined risk free
returns of all the portfolios.

Comparative SML AND CML
Graph
In SML, the Y-axis represents the return of securities, while X-
axis shows the beta of security. In CML, on the other hand, Y-
axis represents the expected return of the portfolio, while the X-
axis indicates the standard deviation of the portfolio.
Comparative SML AND CML
Portfolio or Individual Securities
SML determines only all the security-related factors or the risk or
return for individual stocks. On the other hand, CML determines
market portfolio and risk-free assets, or the risk or return for
efficient portfolios.
Superior
When it comes to measuring the risk factors, CML is superior to
SML.

Where Rm is the return on a value weighted index of NYSE – listed stocks, MP
is the monthly growth rate in the US industrial production, DEI is the change in
inflation, measured by the US consumer price index, UI is the difference between
actual and expected levels of inflation, UPR is the unanticipated change in the
bond credit spread (Baa yield – RFR), and UTS is the unanticipated term
structure shift (long term RFR – short term RFR).
Microeconomic Based Risk Factor Models
Instead of specifying risk in macroeconomic terms, you can delineate
risk in microeconomic terms. Typical of this approach is the
following model proposed by Fama and French in their celebrated
paper "Common Risk Factors in the Returns on Stocks and Bonds,"
published in the January 1993 issue of the Journal of Financial
Economics:

small minus big) is the return to a portfolio of small capitalisation stocks less
the return to a portfolio of larg capitalisation stocks and HMLt (i.e., high
minus low) is the return to a portfolio of stocks with high ratios of book-to-
market values less the return to a portfolio of low book-to-market value
stocks.
In this model, SMB is intended to capture the risk associated with firm
size while HML is meant to reflect risk differentials associated with "growth"
(i.e., low book-to-market ratio) and "value" (i.e., high book-to-market ratio).
Stock Market as a Complex
Adaptive System
To understand what a complex adaptive system is let us begin with a
simple situation where two people are put in a room and asked to
trade a commodity. What happens? Hardly anything. If a few
more people are added, the activity picks up, but the interactions
remain somewhat subdued. The system remains static and lifeless
compared to what we see in the capital markets. As more and more
people are added to the system, something remarkable happens: it
acquires lifelike characteristics. As Mauboussin put it: “In a tangible
way, the system becomes more complex than the pieces that it
comprises. Importantly, the transition – often called ‘self-organised
criticality’ – occurs without design or help from outside agent.
Rather, it is a direct function of the dynamic interactions among the
agents in the system.”
Properties of a Complex Adaptive System
Aggregation The collective interactions of many less-complex agents
produces complex, large-scale behaviour.
Adaptive Decision Rules Agents in the system take information from
the environment and develop decision rules. The competition
between various decision rules ensures that eventually the most
effective decision rules survive.
Non-Linearity Unlike a linear system, wherein the value of the whole
is equal to the sum of its parts, a non-linear system is one wherein
the aggregate behaviour is very complex because of interaction
effects.
