Alpha Estimator

Authors: Christoph Scheuch

Abstract: The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is a foundational concept in finance, offering insight into the relationship between an asset’s risk and its expected return. My Shiny app allows users to select both an asset and a market for comparison, with the “market” representing a broad portfolio of all investable assets in line with CAPM principles.

The app is designed with an educational focus, featuring a vertically stacked module layout that supports a seamless narrative flow. This structure enhances its utility in instructional settings, such as in an upcoming webinar with the R Consortium, where I will use it to demonstrate the CAPM in action.
