Question

5. Which of the folowing equity hedge strategies is most likely to have zero beta exposure to overall market risk

​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Beta of 0: Basically, cash has a beta of 0. In other words, regardless of which way the market moves, the value of cash remains unchanged (given no inflation). Beta between 0 and 1: Companies that are less volatile than the market have a beta of less than 1 but more than 0. Many utility companies fall in this range.
