Definition of “Beta Risk” :

“Beta Risk” refers to the level of risk associated with a specific investment relative to the overall market. It is used in the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) to estimate the expected return of an investment. A beta greater than 1 indicates higher volatility, and thus higher risk, while a beta less than 1 indicates lower volatility and risk.
