    Sir why would companies want to manage their risk? Or diversify it given the fact that investors are normally well diversified themselves?

    Firstly, diversification is diversification of business risk – but the company still wants to manage the foreign exchange risk and the interest rate risk.

    With regard to the business risk – they should not normally bother trying to diversify it (because, as you say, investors overall should be well-diversified). That is precisely the reason that they should use CAPM to determine the return required from investments depending on the risk of the investment.
