Capital Market Line (CML)

The Capital Market Line (CML) is the line on the mean‑variance plane representing the set of portfolios that combine the risk‑free asset with the market portfolio; its slope equals the market portfolio's Sharpe ratio, and it is tangent to the efficient frontier of risky assets.

Example: An investor assesses a mix of a Treasury bill (risk‑free asset) and a broad market index fund (market portfolio) to determine a position along the CML for a given level of expected return and risk.
