arbitrage pricing theory

Arbitrage pricing theory is a financial theory that attempts to explain the relationship between the expected return of an asset and its risk by considering a broader set of factors or variables than just the asset's beta. It suggests that the price of an asset is determined by a combination of multiple risk factors, and investors can exploit mispricings or discrepancies in these factors to earn risk-free profits through a strategy called arbitrage.
