Beta and Market Risk Assessment

Description

Beta shows how strongly a stock tends to move with the market, and it sits at the centre of many risk calculations. These ten PDF lessons explain what beta measures, how to calculate it step by step and how to read the result.

You separate systematic from unsystematic risk, build portfolio beta across several holdings, and apply beta within the CAPM model. Later lessons cover the limits of beta, sector analysis, risk-adjusted returns and case studies. Exercises and tables in the PDFs let you work through the calculations on paper.

Who it is for: investors with some market knowledge who want to measure and compare risk more precisely.
