Beta in CAPM — OpenTuition Forums

I Know that Beta In capm is a measure of the systematic risk but what is Equity beta and Asset beta? are they sub branches of systematic risk?

The asset beta measures the systematic risk of the business. Equity is more risky because of gearing within the company - the gearing increases the systematic risk - and the equity beta measures the systematic risk of the shares. All this is explained in my free lectures (and the lectures for F9 also, because this is revision of F9).
