Abstract

This study is based on positivism research philosophy and utilizes deductive approach. The study uses a dataset of 117 firms listed on KSE-100 Index from 2005 to 2012 to analyze the predictability of capital asset pricing model (CAPM) under different data frequencies and time frames. Six months daily data, in contradiction to the recommended five years monthly data, provides the best estimates. However, the performance of model can be regarded poor as it only explains 7.39% difference in returns.
