We refer the equation as the CAPM, the graph as SML.In equilibrium the expected rates of return for individual securities will lie on the SML and not the CML due to the unsystematic risk that remains in securities that can be diversified out of portfolios.The CML and the SML represent a predictive model for expected returns.
