Beta Factor

Ddarsh19975y ago
Hello John, From you lectures and notes, I've managed to understand systematic and unsystematic risk and the problem that arises with systematic risk. However regarding Beta factor, I am still having some difficulties to interpret it. I mean when we say that Beta factor is 1; what are we actually saying here? Thanks

f the beta factor is 1 then it means that the share has the same risk as the average of the stock exchange (the market) as a whole. See page 100 of the lecture notes :-)
