This study aims to assess the risk and return characteristics of strategically selected individual stocks to support informed investment decisions. By employing the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), the research estimates the expected return of selected stocks based on their systematic risk (beta) and market performance. To evaluate portfolio performance on a risk- adjusted basis, the study utilizes Sharpe Ratio, Treynor Ratio, and Jensen's Alpha as analytical tools. Based on the risk tolerance of investors, three distinct portfolios are constructed: one for conservative investors, one for moderate risk-takers, and another for aggressive (high-risk) investors.

Beta, Risk, Return, Stock market, Investment.
