Traditional Investing & Portfolio Theory

What is beta in investing?

Beta measures how sensitive an asset's returns are to movements in a broader market or benchmark. A beta of one means the asset tends to move in line with the market, above one means larger swings, and below one means smaller ones. For example, an asset with a beta of 1.5 would tend to move 15 percent when the market moves 10 percent, in either direction. It describes market-related risk, not skill. Qatobit's QSI crypto indices document their construction so investors can understand the market sensitivity of a crypto allocation. You can review the methodology first.

Crypto investments are subject to market risk and volatility. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. This is general information, not investment advice — consider your own circumstances or consult a qualified adviser before investing.
