Abstract
Investors in equilibrium are modeled as facing investor specific risks across the space of assets. Personalized asset pricing models reflect these risks. Averaging across the pool of investors we obtain a market asset pricing model that re°ects market risk exposures. It is observed on invoking a law of large numbers applied to an infinite population of investors that many personally relevant risk considerations can be eliminated from the market asset pricing model. Examples illustrating the e®ects of undiversi¯ed labor income and taste speci¯c price indices are provided. Suggestions for future work on asset pricing include a need to focus on identifying and explaining investor specific risk exposures.
