What are Low Beta Stocks?
Beta is a calculation that measures relative volatility of a stock in relation to a benchmark, typically the S&P 500. A stock with a beta of 1.0 has historically experienced price fluctuations in line with the general stock market.
Stocks with low beta rise and fall less than the overall market. Many stocks with a low beta are well-established, blue-chip companies.
For example, if stock ABC has a low beta of 0.5 and the S&P 500 increases by 1%, you can expect stock ABC to increase by about 0.5%.
Conversely, if the S&P 500 decreases by 5%, ABC will decrease by only about 2.5%.
How to Use the Low Beta Stocks List?
Long-term investors can benefit by owning low beta stocks because they lower the overall volatility of their portfolio.
For example, consider this scenario: Let’s say you own an equal amount of 2 stocks, one with a beta of 1.0 and the other with a beta of 0.5. If the market fell by 2%, you can expect your portfolio to only lose 1.5%.
In this sense, low beta stocks are “safer” than the overall market.
What are the Downsides to Buying Low Beta Stocks?
Again, let’s assume you own the 2 stocks above, with betas of 1.0 and 0.5.
Whenever the market gains 1%, your portfolio will likely only gain 0.75%. This means that, while you will experience less volatility than the overall market, you may also have lower long-term returns.
