Moreover, we have estimated an average
beta risk for the total sample of the VC firms in terms of the SBF 250 market index in a year to be 0.

beta risk and its modelling tech-niques for New Zealand industry portfolios, Working Paper 03.
I also show that the Sharpe ratio and market
beta risk will be understated, but options and volatility-related swaps will be over-priced, when traders use closing prices to compute daily returns.
The returns and
beta risks are typically measured as averages over the evaluation period, and these averages are taken "unconditionally," or without regard to variations in the state of financial markets or the broader economy.
The negative sign of the estimated market premium, which implies that firms with higher market beta would have lower expected returns, suggests that
beta risk is not to coincide with the summary descriptions in Table 1.
Beta risk (Type II error) is concluding that the account is not in error (specifically concluding [absolute value of E]=0) when it is in error ([absolute value of E]>0).
The first approach involves measuring a surrogate variable of operating risk, and the second approach involves an analysis of fixed costs that provides a surrogate
Beta risk measure for the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) computation of cost of capital.
In a study on the effect of size on required return, Banz(1) found that returns for small companies were substantially higher, even after the adjustments for
beta risk had been made.
The book has a high rate of return, a low
beta risk, and a negative covariance with uninformed opinion.
Moreover, despite the positive association between size and both changes in total risk and
beta risk (controlled for the change in volume), only the relationship between size and change in total risk is statistically significant (in a t-test at the 5% level).
The coefficient of loan commitments is insignificant in the
beta risk model.
