Over the last 40 years, CAPM has been widely rejected by empirical data and at least two other theories arbitrage pricing theory (APT) and risk-neutral pricing theory have solved theoretical problems inherent in CAPM. And yet CAPM remains the dominant asset pricing model in valuation practice. An exploration of the theoretical and empirical problems with CAPM relative to APT will be presented, and conclusions will be drawn with respect to
(1) conditions under which CAPM is likely to be adequate for valuation,
(2) how APT can help solve problems related to absence of observable capital asset market prices for privately-traded assets,
(3) how APT can be used to price risk factors not priced within CAPM, and
(4) why APT is likely optimal relative to CAPM in both arbitraging asset markets and estimating market values.
