a. The SML, provides a benchmark for evaluating expected investment performance.
b. The SML leads all investors to invest in the same portfolio of risky assets.

Students have asked these similar questions
In an efficient market when asset expected returns are plotted against asset betas, then all assets would be on the security market line
A. Because all assets have the same beta
B. Because no assets have the same risk premium
C. Because all assets have the same reward to risk ratio
D. Because all assets have the same systematic risk
E. Because all assets have the same average amount of systematic risk
Question 1 Fill the parts in the above table that are shaded in yellow. You will notice that there are nineline items.
Question 2Using the data generated in the previous question (Question 1);a) Plot the Security Market Line (SML) b) Superimpose the CAPM’s required return on the SML c) Indicate which investments will plot on, above and below the SML? d) If an investment’s expected return (mean return) does not plot on the SML, what doesit show? Identify undervalued/overvalued investments from the graph
