What is beta

Beta is a measure of an asset's volatility in relation to the overall market. A high beta asset is one that is more volatile than the market as a whole, while a low beta asset is one that is less volatile.


Beta is often used by investors to gauge how risky an investment is. A high beta asset is generally seen as more risky, as it will fluctuate more in value than a low beta asset.


However, beta is only one measure of risk and should not be used in isolation. other factors such as the overall volatility of the market and the specific characteristics of the asset should also be considered when making investment decisions.
