## Description

This Connector lets you move past gut feelings when evaluating new assets. Instead of guessing if a stock or fund is a good deal, you can have your AI client run the math for you. You can pull standardized risk compensation values for the US, Europe, and Brazil markets to ensure your baseline numbers are accurate. From there, you can calculate the expected return of an asset by plugging in its Beta and the local risk-free rate. It goes a step further by letting you measure Alpha to see if an investment is actually outperforming the market or just riding a wave. It's a massive time saver for anyone who needs to justify their investment choices with hard data. If you're already using the Vinkius catalog to build out your investment suite, adding this Connector makes the heavy lifting of financial modeling almost instant. You just describe the asset's risk profile and let the agent do the heavy lifting of calculating the required rate of return. This is perfect for quickly screening a large list of potential holdings or for creating a quick snapshot of an asset's risk profile before a meeting. You get a clear, data-backed answer instead of a manual calculation that might contain errors. It turns a multi-step math problem into a simple conversation with your agent.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What's the expected return for a US stock with a 1.2 Beta and a 3% risk-free rate?
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on the parameters provided for the USA market, here is the calculation:

| Metric | Value |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Beta** | 1.2 |
| **Risk-Free Rate** | 3.0% |
| **Expected Return** | **9.9%** |

This return accounts for the systematic risk of the asset relative to the market.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a Brazilian asset with a 0.8 Beta and 5% risk-free rate a good move?
```

**Response:** 
```
For an asset in the Brazil market with a 0.8 Beta and a 5% risk-free rate, the expected return is **10.6%**.

You can compare this against the actual return of the asset to see if it's outperforming your requirements.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
An asset gave 8% return but the expected was 7.5%. Is it good?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the asset is considered **Attractive**.

Here is the breakdown:
* **Actual Return:** 8.0%
* **Expected Return:** 7.5%
* **Alpha:** +0.5%

Because the Alpha is positive, the investment is outperforming its risk-adjusted benchmark.
```

## Capabilities

### Calculate expected returns
Compute the required rate of return by combining Beta, Risk-Free Rates, and regional premiums.

### Measure Alpha
Determine if an investment is actually beating the market or just following the trend.

### Fetch regional ERPs
Get standardized risk compensation values for the USA, Europe, and Brazil markets.

### Evaluate investment attractiveness
Categorize an asset as Attractive or Unobstructive based on its risk-adjusted performance.

### Compare regional risk
Contrast risk premiums across different global markets to normalize your analysis.

## Use Cases

### Stress testing a high-beta stock in Brazil
A manager wants to see if a high-beta stock in Brazil meets the required return. They ask their agent to run the calculation using get_regional_erp.

### Filtering a large stock watchlist
An analyst needs to filter 50 stocks to see which ones have a positive Alpha. They use analyze_asset_performance to rank them instantly.

### Comparing US and European funds
A user wants to compare the risk premium of a US fund against a European one to see which offers better risk-adjusted returns.

### Justifying an investment for a client report
An advisor needs to justify why a specific asset is Attractive based on its risk profile. They use calculate_expected_return to provide the proof.

## Benefits

- Accurate Risk Modeling: Use calculate_expected_return to get precise return figures based on real-world Beta and Risk-Free Rates.
- Regional Accuracy: Quickly pull data with get_regional_erp for the USA, Europe, and Brazil instead of hunting for manual stats.
- Alpha Detection: Use analyze_asset_performance to see if a manager is actually adding value or just getting lucky.
- Objective Screening: Quickly categorize investments as Attractive or Unobstructive to filter your watchlist.
- Faster Analysis: Let your agent handle the multi-step math so you can focus on making the final decision.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you get a data-backed yes or no on an investment's risk-adjusted return.

1. Provide the asset's Beta and the current risk-free rate.
2. Specify the region to pull the correct Equity Risk Premium.
3. Get a breakdown of the expected return and Alpha.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is the CAPM Calculator?**
It is a tool that helps you find the expected return of an investment based on its risk. It uses the Capital Asset Pricing Model to give you a data-backed look at what an asset should return relative to the market.

**Does the CAPM Calculator support Brazilian markets?**
Yes, it can pull specific risk premiums for Brazil, alongside the USA and Europe. This ensures your calculations are accurate for different geographic regions.

**How does the CAPM Calculator measure Alpha?**
It compares the actual return of an asset against its expected return. If the actual return is higher, the Alpha is positive, meaning the investment is beating its risk-adjusted benchmark.

**Can I use the CAPM Calculator to filter my stock watchlist?**
Absolutely. You can ask your agent to run the calculation for multiple assets and then ask it to identify which ones are the most Attractive based on their Alpha.

**Does the CAPM Calculator replace my financial spreadsheet?**
It automates the math that you usually do in a spreadsheet. Instead of manually typing formulas and looking up rates, your agent does it for you in a single step.

**What does it mean if an asset is labeled Unobstructive?**
This means the investment is not significantly outperforming its risk-adjusted benchmark. It's a way to quickly see which assets are just 'riding the wave' versus those providing extra value.

**What is the purpose of this tool?**
This tool calculates the expected return of an asset using the Capital Assetting Pricing Model (CAPM) and evaluates its performance by calculating Alpha. Tools available: `your_tool_name`.

**How is the Equity Risk Premium (ERP) determined?**
The ERP is hardcoded for specific regions: 4.5% for the USA, 5% for Europe, and 7% for Brazil.

**What does an 'Attractive' rating mean?**
An asset is rated 'Attractive' if its Alpha (the difference between actual and expected return) is zero or greater.
