Thanks. As a follow up Q, are below statement correct:
1. Sharpe ratio of market is the slope of CML
2. Sharpe ratio of portfolio is the slope of CAM
3. Treynor ratio of portfolio is the slope of SML

I’d say:
1) Correct, because the line is based on the market portfolio
2) Correct, because the CAL is based on the actual portfolio you’re holding
3) Incorrect, because the SML is based on the market portfolio
Is that what your study guides say, too?

Whenever you’re dealing with std deviation (eg Sharpe) we’re talking CML (or CAL)
Whenever you’re dealing with beta (eg Treynor) we’re talking SML
My rule of thumb
