- Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) - A model of equilibrium in financial markets that generates very precise predictions about the structure of returns on risky assets. The CAPM assumes the infinite divisibility of assets, no transaction costs, and no taxes. It also assumes that all investors have a one-period investment horizon, hold the same expectations about asset returns, have mean-variance preferences, and are able to borrow and lend at a risk-free rate of interest.
Resumidamente, CAPM é um modelo de precificação de ativos que busca determinar a taxa de retorno teoricamente apropriada de um ativo em relação a uma carteira de mercado "perfeitamente" diversificada. Leva em consideração a sensibilidade do ativo ao risco de mercado (risco sistêmico), que é representado pelo coeficiente beta. O modelo expurga as variações exógenas para trabalhar a relação entre o ativo e a carteira sem interferências.
- Capital Expenditure - Expenditure by a company which cannot be treated as a cost in calculating its profits. It thus has to be paid for either out of post-tax income, or by raising external finance. Capital expenditure may be on creating new capital goods, or, more often, on buying them from outside suppliers. It also includes the purchase of existing businesses, and of patents and trademarks.
Capital Expenditure nada mais é que o dispêndio realizado com aquisição de ativos fixos.
- Capital Flight - Large-scale and sudden movements of capital from a country, by residents or foreigners. The causes of capital flight include concern with public desorder or persecution leading to personal danger to its owners, possibility of confiscation, drastically increased taxation, or rapid inflation leading to a loss of value by the country's currency.
Capital Flight é o movimento em larga escala de saída de capital de um país, seja este provocado por residentes ou por estrangeiros. Ocorre usualmente quando o recurso está em risco, seja por desordem pública, por risco de confisco, aumento abrupto de taxas, inflação elevada, entre outros fatores que possam vir a provocar perda de seu valor. Na década de 80 até o início dos anos 90, o Brasil viveu uma série de situações dessa natureza, em razão de instabilidade econômica, hiper-inflação e falta de regras claras e transparentes no mercado financeiro.
- Capital Gain - An increase in the value of assets. This is the difference between their present value and the price at which they were purchased. If the general price level is stable, real and nominal capital gains are equal. If there is general inflation of prices, capital assets show real gains only if their prices increase proportionally faster than the general price level, and assets with constant money values suffer real capital losses.
Capital Gain é o ganho registrado pela valorização dos ativos, ou seja, é a diferença entre o valor presente de um ativo e o seu preço de compra.
