This study aims to calculate the expected return and systematic risk of each LQ-45 stock, and evaluate the combination of these stocks to form an optimal portfolio. By using CAPM and Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT), this study can provide a comprehensive framework to understand the risk-return dynamics of stock investment. Despite the limitations of CAPM, this study shows that CAPM remains an important tool in investment analysis. Recommendations for future research are to conduct further empirical analysis to test the effectiveness of CAPM in various market conditions and develop models that combine CAPM with additional factors to improve return prediction.</p> Ainun Sakinah L Tobing, Nur Aisyah Fitri, Qori Fadla Ajmilia, Isfenti Sadalia Copyright (c) 2024 Ainun Sakinah L Tobing, Nur Aisyah Fitri, Qori Fadla Ajmilia, Isfenti Sadalia https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://wsj.westscience-press.com/index.php/wsbm/article/view/1443 Tue, 26 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000 The Influence of Work Environment and Work Discipline During the Dentist Internship Program (PIDGI) on Dentist Performance with Motivation as a Moderating Variable in West Java, Indonesia https://wsj.westscience-press.com/index.php/wsbm/article/view/1476 <p>This study examines the impact of the work environment and work discipline during the Dental Internship Program (PIDGI) on dentist performance, moderated by motivation.
