An examination of the cross-sectional relationship of beta and return: UK evidence

Article Abstract:

A study of the conditional relationship between beta and return in the United Kingdom stock returns indicates no proof of a major risk premium on beta when the unconditional relationship between beta and return is examined. However, a vital relationship between beta and return has been noted when the sample was divided into periods based on whether the excess market return is negative or positive. The relationship is also observed to be more aggressive in months when the excess market return is negative than when it is positive.
