Where a proxy company is partly into the new area we’re investing into, do we ungear and regear normally or how do we account for the proportion of the business that’s not into the area we’re venturing into?

We ungear the proxy to get the asset beta.
If the proxy is in 2 areas and we only want the beta of the area that we are investing in, then we use the fact that the total asset beta is equal to the weighted average of the individual betas.
