- Think about whether a risk-free asset should earn a risk-premium beyond the risk-free rate. Thinking about that should give you an idea of the beta for a risk-free asset. Or, look again at the CAPM equation: E(Ri)=Rf+βi[E(RM)−Rf] Given this equation, what beta sets the E(R) of the risk free asset equal to the risk-free rate?
