    • Beta Value
      The beta value allows analysts to compare the movement in price of equities against the market or a particular index. If a share has a beta value of less than one, it is lower risk than the market but the return it generates is also likely to be lower than the market. Conversely if a share has a beta value of greater than one, it is higher risk but has a greater chance of out-performing the market.
